Chapter 16
The middle–ageddy was making a scene, her face twisted in rage and her hair flying around due to
her excessive agitation Her eyes were bulging out, her arm thin as a de, swinging towards
Thssa’s face.
Thssa felt the icy chill of the wind hitting her face, the pain cutting like a knife. She held her breath,
watching the woman’s hand swing down rapidly. Al a distance of just a centimeter from her face, she
managed to grab it urately
“You dare to resist. You lowly woman, you’re asking for it” The woman was arrogant and violent, raising
her other hand.
Thssa kicked at her hand, pushing her away with force. The middle–ageddy was strong, so
Thssa had to use all her strength just to counter her. After this series of movements, she was totally
drained. Thedy took a step back, steadied herself and charged at Thssa more fiercely.
Thssa’s pupils dted, she had no strength left to fight How could this woman be so difficult,
attacking without reason.
Thssa took a few steps back, trying to create sorne distance, but the woman was determined to hit
her, relentlessly pursuing. Just as Thssa was about to be cornered and be hit by the woman’s fist,
the supervisor from the cleaning department stepped in, stopping the woman’s actions.
Lady, this is the Sinir group, not a ce where you can cause a ruckus. Watch your behavior.” The
supervisor spoke formally, representing the authority of the Sinir group.
Thedy was taken aback by the supervisor’s stern attitude. No matter how arrogant she was, she
dared not challenge the authority of the Sinir group. She ranted, exaggerating the story to the
supervisor of how Thssa had seduced her husband, and when rejected, had hired someone to beat
him up
Thssa couldn’t stand it; this was clearly nder. She retorted breathlessly, “Get your facts straight. It
was your husband who harassed me. Despite being rejected numerous times, he still wouldn’t leave
me alone. The CEO’s assistant saw it and fired him. Your husband’s broken leg has nothing to do with
me, and I had no idea what happened.”
“You dare to refute me. I’m going to call the police on you Let’s see if you can still deny it.” The middle–
ageddy was sputtering, looking repulsive.
Thssa stood her ground. “Go ahead and call the police. I’m going to sue your husband for
harassment.”
Thedy was furious, pulling out her phone and started dialing the police, cursing all the while.
The supervisor didn’t pay much attention to the matter. He said to Thssa in a leader’s tone, “You go
clean the conference room first. I’ll call you when the police arrive.”
“Alright.” Thssaplied and left.
Thedy continued swearing, trying to stop her, but was blocked by the supervisor.
Only her second day at work and she had already run into such annoying problems. Thssa felt
frustrated. While cleaning the conference room, she was distracted, without any energy. She picked up
the trash around Lysander’s area, identally bumping into him.
The employees in the conference room, seeing Thssa’s body making contact with Lysander’s neat
suit, were all shocked. The already solemn atmosphere turned even more oppressive, silence ensued.
Faye, standing in front of the projector, was disying the design materials of each employee. Seeing
Thssa getting close to Lysander, her face darkened. The blue light of the projector shone on her
face, and coupled with her gloomy expression, she looked cold and intimidating. Was this Thssa
trying to catch Mr. Sinir’s attention on purpose?
Thssa, the person involved, was lost in her thoughts,pletely unaware of the severity of the
situation. She swept the floor casually with a broom, sweeping over Lysander’s shiny, spotless leather
shoes. There was a collective gasp from the room, everyone feeling nervous for Thssa.
Faye saw Thssa’s actions and was so angry that she gripped the projector’s remote control tightly.
The design materials on the big screen started jumping around because she was pressing the buttons
on the remote, but she didn’t even notice.
Lysander’s deep gaze, full of pressure, was fixed on the woman in front of him. She was sweeping
around his feet haphazardly, as if they had a grudge or something. Was she trying to catch his
attention on purpose? Lysander sneered in his heart, filled with contempt.
After Thssa finished sweeping up the crumpled paper, she picked up the broom and walked to the
coffee table to pour some coffee. She was so distracted that she spilled the coffee over the edge of the
cup, burning her hand. She winced, pping her hand, and knocked over an empty cup beside her.
The cup bounced twice on the wooden floor, emitting a dull noise.
The entire room fell silent. Thssa was startled and widened her eyes in shock. As the cup settled,
she breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the cup was still intact and hadn’t broken.
She thought, howe yesterday it was a porcin cup, and today it was stic? She quickly picked
up the cup.
At this time, on the conference table side, the meeting was proceeding normally, someone was
presenting a n, and Faye had adjusted the projector to project the design images onto the big
screen.
Lysander, who should have been listening to the n, had his eyes locked on Thssa, observing her
every move, his gaze deepening.
The employee who had just finished presenting her n carefully sat down. It was as if she had spoken
in vain. The CEO didn’t seem to have heard a
thing
Where did this janitore from, and how did she manage to capture the attention of everyone in the
meeting room? Even Mr. Sinir found his gaze drawn to her. This was the first time he hadn’t
immediately rejected a proposal due to distraction. Everyone seated around the conference table was
on edge, their nerves taut, beads of sweat forming on their brows.
Lysander stared at Thssa, seeing her pick up the cup and wipe her burned, reddened hand with a
napkin. This scene seemed to touch a nerve. He hated people who were disorganized, who didn’t even
know how to treat their injuries. Was she an idiot?
His brows knitted together, full of displeasure, his gaze returned to the conference table, and he said,
“The n just now is approved. Meeting- adjourned.”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling both surprised and incredulous. The clothing design n that
had been rejected by the CEO for almost half a month was suddenly approved

The employee who had just presented the n felt even more incredulous, both ted and nervous.
She held her design n and excitedly left the conference room. The other employees left one after
another.
Thssa dried her hands, and in a daze, she realized the meeting had already concluded. She turned
her head and saw Lysander’s dark and indifferent gaze, which was as cold as ice
Her heartbeat quickened. This man, with just one look, could strike fear into anyone. Surely, he must
be displeased with the way she had been handling things.
Thssa tensed her back and lowered her head, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
She quickly tidied up her desk and poured the coffee she had just made back into the sink.
After finishing her tasks, she turned to leave, passing by Lysander. She identally stumbled over his
shoe, letting out a cry of surprise as her body leaned forward, as if about to make contact with the
ground
A strong hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and yanked her back upright. She found herself
crashing into a broad and sturdy chest.
Staring into Lysander’s handsome face, her heart pounded with surprise. Hastily, she pushed him
away, stood up, and blurted out in a state of panic and fear. You tripped me on purpose.”
