Chapter 95
Lysander felt his throat dry as he gripped her wrist, pulling her into his embrace. His warm, unique scent swirled around her ear, “You sure know how to seduce men.”
His hot breath tickled behind her soft ear, making her feel all tingly.
Feeling the danger, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Sinclair, this is all a misunderstanding.”
“You’re deliberately causing misunderstandings in front of me, you’re quite the player,” Lysander’s voice was deep and domineering, gripping her waist tightly, assertive in his actions.
Thalassa was panicked and blushing, “Mr. Sinclair, don’t.”
“Don’t what?” Lysander’s voice was deep and captivating.
He gently bit her earlobe.
Thalassa was extremely terrified, she tried to break free from him, but Lysander’s strong hand held her tight, leaving her immobilized.
His fingers lifted her chin, preparing to kiss her.
Just then, the door was knocked and Faye barged in urgently, “Mr. Sinclair, I left my phone in your office.”
Thalassa immediately pushed Lysander away, retreating in embarrassment.
Compared to her embarrassment, Lysander casually rolled up his sleeves, maintaining his noble and domineering attitude.
As Thalassa rushed to collect herself, preparing to leave, Faye picked up Thalassa’s phone that had accidentally fallen on the floor. The phone screen was inadvertently activated, playing the chit-chat from the elevator.
Hearing Tia’s voice from the phone, “My goodness, was that woman Mr. Sinclair’s cleaner who he used to humiliate Faye?”
Thalassa’s steps faltered.
Faye’s phone was in Mr. Sinclair’s office, this meant Mr. Sinclair had seen the video and knew about the rumors!
Seeing Thalassa pause, Faye quickly pretended to accidentally touch the phone, turning off the video, gave Lysander a slight nod, and then left the office.
As she passed Thalassa, her gaze was icy.
With Lysander present, Faye couldn’t directly blame Thalassa. Besides, Lysander had rejected her confession yesterday. If she interfered with Lysander’s personal matters, her position as secretary would be revoked.
She had worked hard for this secretary position, it was only from this position that she could see Lysander every day, get close to him.
If she lost this position, the distance between her and Lysander would grow, they would possibly becoming strangers, even seeing each other would become a luxury.
Faye cherished this position and didn’t want to be dismissed. So, when she knew she should stay calm, she could control her jealousy.
She deliberately left her phone in Lysander’s office, telling Thalassa that Mr. Sinclair’s desk needed cleaning. She tricked her into coming here just to let Thalassa see the surveillance footage on her phone, as the footage just happened to stop at Thalassa in the elevator.
She deliberately adjusted the phone settings so the screen would stay on, no matter how long it had been, the paused video could be seen at a glance.
As long as Thalassa saw this video, she would definitely explain to Mr. Sinclair that she hadn’t spread the rumors. But, her explanation would only make things worse, only making Mr. Sinclair angrier.
All she did was to make Lysander dislike Thalassa, to make him realize she was a person of poor character. However, unexpectedly, Thalassa had only been in the office for a short while and did something unbelievable!
