Chapter 249


    She dide up with the idea of quitting, but her financial situation simply didn’t allow for it


    To quit, she’d have to cough up a whopping twenty grand for breach of contract, and she had no idea w


    here she was gonna get that kind of dough.


    So, she was racking her brain trying to figure out how to get Leopold to give her the boot.


    As Thssa was mulling over her options, a call from David jolted her back to reality. ‘Ms. Everhart, co


    uld you bring two cups of coffee to the office?”


    “Sure thing,” she said, immediately switching into work mode.


    There was a coffee machine right in the secretarial office


    Although she wasn’t a regr coffee drinker, she had received specific training on how to brew coffee b


    ack in school.


    Back in the day, Thssa had been a real whiz at making coffee.


    And even five years down the line, her coffee–making skills were still as slick as ever.


    Before long, Thssa had brewed two steaming cups of coffee and delivered them to the CEO’s office.


    Lysander and Leopold were sitting at a low table, engrossed in a work discussion..


    Usually, Leopold exuded an air of grace and elegance.


    But when he was sitting next to Lysander, he was clearly outshone.


    The intimidating aura and dignity radiating from Lysander made everything else seem nd inpari


    son.


    Even Leopold seemed in and unremarkable next to him..


    Holding her breath, Thssa carefully carried the coffee over. She ced one cup in front of Lysander


    and the other in front of Leopold, and then she politely said. “Here’s your coffee, Mr. Sinir, and Mr. Si


    nir.”


    Then she was about to leave.


    “Thssa, sit down. We’re discussing something that concerns you,” Leopold called after her.


    Something that concerned her?


    Thssa was taken aback. She hesitated for a moment, then took a seat nearby, her hands resting poli


    tely in herp.


    Lysander and Leopold sat face–to–


    face, with Thssa seated across from them on the other side of the square table.


    Leopold was to her left and Lysander to her right. The cold air and oppressive atmosphereing from


    her right side made her feel extremely ufortable.


    She had no idea what they were discussing about her, and she didn’t dare ask. She maintained a polite


    smile on her face.


    Leopold looked at her curiously. “Thssa, why do you have a PowerPoint slide of a cartoon?”


    Upon hearing this, Thssa felt her heart had skipped a beat.


    She instinctively looked at Lysander.


    Lysander’s deep gaze was also fixed on her. He was waiting for her response.


    The pressure on Thssa grew even more intense.


    Why did she have a captóon PowerPoint slide?


    Well, it was because her kids, Elowen and Sophia, loved Peppa Pig.


    They weren’t satisfied with just watching the TV version of the cartoon. They felt the stories were too fe


    w.


    Every night before bed, they would ask Thssa to tell them Peppa Pig stories but they didn’t want to h


    ear stories that had been aired


    on TV.


    Where was she supposed to get all these new stories?


    So, she made a PowerPoint slide, and every day she would put together a story. After familiarizing hers


    elf with it, she could tell it as a bedtime story to her kids at night. It could also serve


    as a cartoon to show the little ones.


    How was she supposed to know that the USB stick would be in her pocket, and that in her nervousness


    because of Lysander’s pressure, she would put it in the wrong ce?


    Now, being asked this question in front of Lysander, she felt her heart pounding with anxiety.


    A cold sweat broke out on her back.
