Chapter 248


    Thssa was jittery as hell. She immediately apologized, “I’m so sorry. Mr. Sinir, I had no idea you w


    ereing.”


    She quickly grabbed the door handle, swinging the door wide open.


    As Lysander’s piercing gaze shifted away from her and he walked


    in, a chill seemed to sweep through the air. It was as if a cold gust of wind hit Thssa right in the face,


    making her scared shitless.


    She kept her head down, not daring to even nce at Lysander’s clothes.


    Damn, it was scary


    David followed suit, stepping into the room. Spotting Thssa, he said in a low voice,


    “Ms. Everhart, fancy seeing you here already”


    Thssa gave an embarrassed chuckle, “David, you’re so nice.”


    In the conference room.


    The long conference table was filled on both sides with thepany’s bigwigs, with Lysander sitting at


    the head.


    He wore a custom–made, all–ck suit that radiated


    an air of unmatchable opulence, right down to the cufflinks. His tall frame wasfortably positioned in


    a ck leather chair, and his presence dominated the room.


    Even thepany’s President, Leopold, had to take a seat below him.


    Everyone held their breath, treading on eggshells.


    Thssa, nerves on edge, walked over to the multimediaputer and loaded up the PowerPoint slid


    es.


    As soon as she had it going, she straightened up, waiting for the meeting to start.


    Suddenly, she noticed that everyone at the table had a weird look on their faces. Some were even pulli


    ng faces at her.


    Thssa was taken aback. What the hell was going on?

    Just as Thssa was wondering, Lysander’s deep gazended on her.


    His deep and inscrutable eyes were like the unfathomable night sky.


    Thssa’s heart started racing. Had she done something wrong? Why was he looking at her like that?


    Damn, it was creepy.


    Leopold covered his mouth, clearing his throat.


    Thssa was still clueless.


    Leopold had no choice but to clue her in, “Ms. Everhart, you’ve loaded the wrong PowerPoint slides.”


    Thssa quickly turned to the screen, only to see a picture of Peppa Pig disyed!


    Oh crap, she had grabbed the wrong sh drive.


    Panicked and blushing. Thssa hastily unplugged the drive and reced it (with the correct one.


    She apologized awkwardly, “I’m so sorry. I grabbed the wrong sh drive, it’s sorted now.”


    She switched the drive and the work–rted content started ying on the big screen.


    Everyone in the room stared at her with bemused looks.


    Noticing that she was now in thepany, one of the senior managers said in a snarky tone, “Ms. Ever


    hart, this is a senior management meeting, not a preschool multimedia ss. Try to stay focused next ti


    me.”


    Thssa quickly nodded and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’ll be careful next time.”


    Thinking he had done a good deed, the senior manager turned to Lysander and said with a smile, “Mr.


    Sinir, apologies for the dy. We’ll make sure to tell her offter.”


    Lysander’s face remained impassive, his eyes sharply focused on the man’s name tag.


    “You may leave,” Lysander said, his voice soft but full of authority.


    The senior manager’s smile froze on his face and he abruptly stood up, looking terrified as he scurried


    out of the room.


    Had he crossed a line?


    The look in Lysander’s eyes earlier was downright terrifying.


    The atmosphere in the room was tense, cold, and oppressive.


    No one dared to make a peep.


    Thssa also kept her head down, trying her best to stay under the radar.


    This meeting was aplete nightmare.


    An hourter, the meeting finally ended.


    Thssa returned to her office and immediately poured herself a ss of water to calm her nerves.


    She had never imagined that after leaving the Sinir group, she’d find herself in another pickle at Leo
