Chapter 401


    With a quick stride, Fitch approached her, his voice raised just enough to ensure she heard him clearly,


    “Ms. Everhart, our chauffeur will be here soon. Let himHe will drive you to the office.”


    A wave of relief washed over Thssa Everhart as she checked her phone. It was almost ten.


    She wasn’t familiar with the area. Taking the bus could take forever, especially if she got lost. A car ride


    would save time and spare her from another lecture from Lysander Sinir about tardiness.


    Shortly after, the chauffeur drove up and Thssa got into the car. They set off towards the Sinir


    Group.

    In the CEO’s office, Zephyr arrived, his presence formidable and serious as he took a seat on the plush


    couch in the lounge area.


    Lysander sat across from him, pouring him a cup of English breakfast tea.


    “Your secretary sure knows how to make an entrance. You’re already at work and she’s nowhere to be


    seen. Even something as trivial as pouring tea, you have to do it yourself,” Zephyr’s hawk-like gaze


    was filled with disapproval and annoyance as he nced at Lysander.

    His words were a clear dig at Thssa.


    Lysander, of course, caught on. He responded, “The Sinir Group provides decent employee


    benefits, including sick leave within reasonable limits.”


    “She seems to enjoy her sick leave every other day,” Zephyr retorted sourly.


    He took a sip of his tea, then and ced the cup on the coffee table, continuing,. “You bought


    Leopold’spany just to transfer Thssa back as your secretary. Lysander, you never used to mix


    business with personal matters before.”


    “Three months isn’t up yet, Lysander put down the teapot, his deep gaze lifting to meet Zephyr’s.


    “Grandpa, surely you haven’t forgotten our verbal agreement?” Lysander added.


    Zephyr paused, his breath hitching.


    They had agreed to give Thssa three months to prove her character. If she turned out to be another


    a woman liké Belinda Sinir, Lysander would cut ties with her without hesitation.


    But if she wasn’t…


    Zephyr wouldn’t interfere with Lysander and Thssa’s rtionship.


    During this time, Zephyr had been honoring their agreement. But after hearing from Leopold Sinir


    about Thssa’s maniptive tactics, he couldn’t sit still.


    This Thssa was clearly cunning and unfaithful, with her own agenda. Did they really need three


    more months to see that? -Zephyr was growing impatient, wanting to kick Thssa out before she


    caused any more trouble within the Sinir family.


    But Lysander’s reminder made him realize that he might be too hasty.


    “No matter what, I hope you’ll act rationally. I’ll leave you to your work now,” Zephyr said, leaving the


    office.


    Not long after Zephyr left, David walked in to report, “Mr. Sinir, the old manyour grandfather went to


    the HR department.” Lysander’s icy gaze darkened, and he rose from his seat.


    In the HR office, Zephyr was harshly talking to the HR manager, “I personally covered the $30,000


    when Thssa quit! Was it all so you could bring her back? How on earth do you guys do your job?


    Can’t you see the obvious?”


    The HR manager was on edge, stammering out, “Mr. Sinir Zephyr, Thssa was personally brought


    back by Mr. Sinir your grandson…”


    They had no power to interfere.


    “And you didn’t think to report this to me beforehand?” Zephyr’s face was stern, his anger palpable. His


    formidable aura was so strong it seemed to ripple through the air.


    Zephyr and the HR manager turned to see Lysander entering the room, his presencemanding.


    The HR manager quickly lowered his gaze, his shoulders trembling.


    Zephyr’s expression shifted slightly, his aura calming down, “What brings you here?”


    ?      }


    Lysander stood in front of him, his aura as cold as ice, “You generously covered $30,000 out of your


    own pocket, Grandpa, how generous.”


    Lysander’s words were clearly sarcastic.


    His deep, and intimidating gaze was locked onto Zephyr.


    Zephyr felt a tinge of guilt under his grandson’s scrutiny, “Your grandmother is waiting for me at home.


    I’m leaving.”


    As Zephyr exited the elevator on the ground floor, he ran into Thssa who was waiting for the lift. She


    was dressed in a white blouse and a long, ck pencil skirt, o. One end of her shirt was tucked into her


    skirt, giving her a chic yet modest look.


    Upon seeing her, Zephyr’s eyes held a hint of prejudice and hostility. He cast her a cold nce before


    brushing past her.
