Chapter 327
She didn’t quite figure out why Lysander was asking for her opinion on whether to sign the contract for
the gourmetpetition. Had Faye helped him make such decisions before? Thssa pondered for a
long time but still couldn’t figure out Lysander’s intentions. Lysander was a strange one, with his
unpredictable mood swings and iprehensible character.
With a heavy heart, she finally survived the workday. Lysander didn’t look for her again, which eased
her anxiety a bit. When it was time to clock out, she left the secretary’s office straight away, not
bothering to wait for Lysander to leave the office like she did the first time.
She headed to the mall to pick up her tailor-made suit and then took the bus home. On the bus, she
inspected the suit and was very satisfied with its quality. It was almost identical to the one Leopold had
given her before. The best part was that the suit only cost her a few dozen of bucks. If she had gone for

a suit from a global brand, that would have set her back a whopping twenty grand!
Solving a twenty-grand problem with just a few dozen bucks, Thssa felt a sense of aplishment.
It just went to show, the more skills one had, the better. It never hurt, right?
When she reached her neighborhood, Thssa saw two little girls ying with a puppy from a
distance. The puppy was standing a meter away from the girls, yapping loudly, trying to show off its
toughness. The girls, both around four years old, were Sophia, with short hair and wearing overalls,
and Elowen, with two braids and chubby cheeks. Elowen held onto the back of Sophia’s clothes,
looking a bit scared. Sophia was trying to protect Elowen with her little hand and said in her childish
voice, “Don’t be scared, Elowen. I’ll protect you,” After that, Sophia yapped at the puppy, trying to show
that she was tougher and was trying to scare it away. It was a heart-melting scene.
The puppy, scared by Sophia’s voice, stopped barking. It whimpered a few times before running off to a
big dog nearby. It was the puppy’s mother. The puppy snuggled into the mother’s arms, seeking
She walked over to the girls.
Sophia, who had just scared the puppy away, turned around and gently patted Elowen’s back, saying,
“Don’t be scared, I’ll protect you.”
“Elowen, Sophia, why are you two ying downstairs? Where’s your grandma?” Thssa asked as
she approached them; she was concerned about their safety. Hearing a familiar voice, the two girls
turned, and their eyes lit up with excitement. They ran towards Thssa, shouting, “Mommy!”
The two girls threw themselves into Thssa’s arms. Thssa bent down and hugged them, kissing
their little faces. Their softness and the smell of milk made her heart flutter. Coming home to kiss her
kids every day was pure bliss.
“Mommy, Sophia and I were taking out the trash. Grandma is cooking delicious food,” Elowen happily
informed Thssa.
“Alright, let’s go have some of that delicious food,” Thssa said, leading them back home.
As soon as they walked in, the aroma of food filled the air. Thssa hadn’t eaten lunch and was
starving. The smell of the food made her mouth water. She was famished. She quickly washed her
hands, grabbed some utensils, and started eating.
Evelyn, seeing Thssa devouring the food like she hadn’t eaten in days, frowned and said, “Look at
you, eating like you haven’t eaten in ages.”
“I didn’t eat lunch. That’s why I’m starving,” Thssa exined her situation with her mouth full.
“Eat up, then go pick up Isabe and her mother from the hospital. They’re being discharged today,”
Evelyn said.
“Why do I have to pick them up?” Thssa asked, puzzled.
“Didn’t yourpany assign you a car? Go pick them up in that fancy car of yours. Show Isabe and
her mother that you can also drive a luxury car. We won’t let them look down on us!” Evelyn
remembered how Isabe had shown off her luxury car and belittled Thssa’s family for taking the
train thest time they visited their hometown.
