Chapter 85
Lysander was a real tough cookie! Last time, he was knocked out cold by Dr. Everest with just a few words. He couldnt even taste his booze after that.
“Atticus, Dorian!” A middle-aged woman appeared at the entrance of the dining room, calling out anxiously. Astrid was slapping her thigh in worry, “Gosh, where the heck did those two munchkins go?”
“Granny, we’re here!” Two kids burst out from behind the screen. Their little legs pumped as they sprinted towards Astrid
Atticus was the fastest and steadiest, reaching Astrid first and hugging her legs. He rubbed his face against her legs, trying to comfort her and assure her they were okay.
Donan, too eager, bumped into Lysander’s legs as he ran past.
Lysander stood still while Dorian stumbled forward and fell.
He slid a bit, and it looked painful.
Lysander frowned, but he was ready to help the kid up.
But the little guy was tougher than he thought. He stood up on his own, didn’t cry, turned around with a bright smile, and apologized in his childish voice. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bump into you.”
Lysander noticed the kid’s face. He was good-looking, with thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, and fair skin.
The boy’s face felt familiar, even somewhat intimate.
But it was his first time seeing him.
After speaking, the kid turned and sprinted towards the middle-aged woman.
She held their hands and left.
Lysander watched their retreating figures with an indescribable depth in his eyes
Alaric waved his hard in front of Lysander’s face, “Lysander, what’s up? Do you want me to teach that kid a lesson? I can go grab him.”
Alaric was ready to stride after the kid who dared to bump into Lysander
“Come back!” Lysander’s voice was icy
Alaric quickly returned, grinning, “What’s for lunch?”
I’m not hungry” Lysander replied coldly, then walked out
Alaric watched him leave. “I’ll get you a takeaway”
-The Sinclair Group.
Faye’s three-day leave was over, so today she had to work.
She heard the staff gossiping that Lysander just went to the cafeteria, grabbed a female employee’s hand, and pulled her from another mans arms.
Moreover, it was said that female employees of the Sinclair Group were not allowed to date, which was clearly targeting that woman.
Mr. Sinclair and that woman must have a special relationship.
Faye called an employee and asked, “Which female employee’s hand did Mr. Sinclair grab in the cafeteria?”
“It seems to be someone named Thalassa” The staff member, who had been in the cafeteria at the time, answered truthfully.
Thalassa?
Faye’s heart sank.
In the three days she was away from the company, had Thalassa and Lysander’s relationship progressed this quickly?
No, she couldn’t wait any longer.
Faye walked into the CEO’s office.
Lysander was sitting at his desk, reviewing documents.
After a brief pause, Faye took a deep breath. She decided to confess her feelings to Lysander today.
She would tell him she had been in love with him for ten years.
