Chapter 665
When Thalassa mentioned that he was Ethan’s nephew, whom she was tutoring in Spanish, Betty didn’t press for more details.
Thalassa initially assumed that the Spanish level of the kindergarten boy would be easy to handle, but when she saw the test paper, she realized she had vastly underestimated the situation.
The difficulty of the Spanish test was beyond what she had encountered for her Spanish exams.
If she had to sit for this test, she wasn’t sure if she’d even score a E!
Was this the standard for kindergarten these days?
Thalassa stared at the test paper, looking dumbfounded. It was as if she were trying to decipher hieroglyphics.
Dylan timidly asked, “Ma’am, do you understand it?”
Thalassa snapped back to reality as her eyes widened with disbelief. “Is this a kindergarten test?”
Dylan shook his head. “My dad is planning to send me abroad for school. This is a sample entrance exam.”
Oh, Lord, no wonder it was so hard!
Thalassa instantly regretted taking on this challenging task.
Swallowing a lump in her throat, she admitted, “I’m not familiar with it. Let me consult someone else.”
She showed the test paper to Betty, who, after one look, confessed she was of no help either.
Suddenly, Thalassa understood why Ethan had given her two days to prep Dylan for the test.
This was not going to be easy. Two days were barely enough to prepare for this.
“Ma’am, do you not understand?” Dylan asked while tilting his little head.
Caught off guard, Thalassa decided to wing it and bluff. “Of course I do. It’s just been a while since I’ve learned Spanish. I need to check a dictionary.”
After all, Dylan was her daughter Elowen’s crush. As a mother, Thalassa couldn’t let her down.
She had to impress this little man.
But truth be told, it had been years since she had used Spanish, and she had forgotten most of the vocabulary.
Thalassa juggled between tutoring Dylan and checking the dictionary. Before she knew it, it was time to call it a day.
Ethan arrived to pick up Dylan.
Apologetically, Thalassa confessed the hardships she was acing. “I’m sorry, we didn’t get through the entire test. There were too many words I didn’t know.” “It’s fine. Take it home and go over it. We’ll continue tomorrow.” Ethan replied as he left with Dylan.
Thalassa sighed as she looked at the test paper in her hand.
As she stepped out of the office, intending to hail a cab, a sleek black car pulled up in front of her. Its luxurious sheen even glinted under the sun.

The car window rolled down, revealing a stunningly handsome man with perfect features. His imposing aura seemed to slow down the pace of everything around him.
“Mr. Sinclair.” Thalassa acknowledged the man in the car with a hint of apprehension in her
eyes.
“Get in.” Lysander commanded her in a deep voice.
Thalassa hesitated momentarily but eventually complied.
She had paid the price for defying him too many times to even think about trying again.
As Thalassa settled into the plush leather seats, she was acutely aware of Lysander’s intimidating presence. Her heart pounded, and she found it difficult to even breathe normally.
She couldn’t help but wonder why Lysander had come to the Crawley Group building.
Had he come specifically to pick her up from work?
