Chapter 71


    Hey there, Mr. Sinir Thssa greeted him with a forced smile.


    As long as she wasn’t the one feeling awkward, she didn’t care who did.


    Lysander nced at his shoe, which now sported a foot-shaped imprint, and gazed at her with a cold


    stare. “Is this how you always greet people?”


    Thssa noticed the dirt smudge on his shoe, realized it was her fault, and quickly whipped out a rag


    from her waist while squatting down to clean it. “Sorry, didn’t mean to Let me get that for you.”


    She used the same rag she used for cleaning tables to scrub his shoe,


    Lysander frowned. He was clearly not a fan of this.


    After stepping away from her touch, he hissed, “Get out!”


    “Sure thing.”


    Thssa grabbed her mop and bolted out of the office


    If it weren’t for the paycheck, she wouldn’t be in his office.


    And he told her to get out?


    Lysander watched as she quickly retreated from his office, his gaze darkening.

    In the afternoon, just as Thssa was about to clock out, Hertha came looking for her.


    Thssa, I got off early today. Let’s hit the shops” Hertha looped her arm through Thssa’s, leading


    her out of the Sinir Group building.


    Thssa calcted her finances. She still had $800, and she hadn’t yet bought winter clothes for the


    kids. So she agreed.


    Just as they left the Sinir Group building, a shy silver Porsche pulled up next to them.


    Thssa and Hertha thought they were obstructing the car’s path and moved a bit to the side.


    The Porsche’s window rolled down, revealing a hardsome man with long eyes and a tantalizing mole at


    the corner of his eye.


    The man, ric, Пashed a charming, devilish smile Thssa, you just left the Sinir group. I didn’t


    see Lysander with you.”


    ric’s voice was a bit weird, like something was wrong with his tongue,


    Thssa instinctively tightened her grip on Hertha’s arm and said defensively, “I have nothing to do


    with Lysander. Why should I leave with him?”


    ric, full of charm and mischief, chuckled. The other day at Sapphire Skyline, you were sitting on his


    as thieves.”


    His words were direct and made Thssa blush


    She wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.


    Lysander was a weirdo, and his friend was even worse!


    How could he say such things in public?


    “You have no shame! Hertha, let’s go!’ Thssa, her face beet red, stormed off, dragging Hertha with


    her.


    Hertha, however, didn’t move.


    Thssa turned to find her friend staring at ric. Though she wasn’t as besotted as she was the first


    time she saw him, her eyes were still filled with his reflection.


    Her eyes sparkled with longing and affection, like those of lovers reunited after a long time.


    This worried Thssa.


    Hertha was getting infatuated with men again.


    ric didn’t continue teasing Thssa and Lysander. He noticed the look in Hertha’s eyes. It was the


    desire and eagerness to kiss him.


    He wiped the smile off his face, rolled up the window to block her view, and parked the car


    Thssa tugged at Hertha’s sleeve, “Hertha, snap out of it. He’s gone”


    Hertha finally looked away from the spot where ric had been. When she faced Thssa, her face


    showed disappointment, but she put on a brave smile, “Let’s go.”


    She flung the car door open, ready to hop in.
