Chapter 598


    That left Thssa utterly bemused.


    She paused, looking at Ethan, holding her tongue.


    Seeing her nk and innocent expression, Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Is it that Lysander has set


    the bar too high and needs someone to bnce him out?” he quipped.


    It took Thssa a moment to realize that he was implying that she was not as clever.


    And he had linked her with Lysander, which made her blush in embarrassment and annoyance, her


    cheeks growing warm.


    “Mr. Ethan, why don’t I record this and y it for Lysander so that he can award you for your wit?”


    Thssa retorted, clearly peeved.


    “I just made a joke, and you’re already angry. I called you out to help you. You don’t need to thank me,


    but you’re upset. This is not fun at all,” Ethan said.


    Help her?


    Thssa paused, and then it dawned on her.


    Ethan had seen her being bossed around by Betty and Anna and had purposefully invited her out.


    On one hand, it gave her a temporary respite from their demands.


    On the other hand, it showed Betty and Anna that he valued Thssa, indirectly warning them to back


    off.


    Thssa was indeed oblivious to his ulterior motives.


    Because of Lysander, he was helping her, right?


    “What if it backfires? You underestimate a woman’s jealousy, Thssa warned. “I can handle this


    situation. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ethan.”


    Thssa appreciated Ethan’s goodwill, but it was unnecessary.


    She was not a novice in the corporate world. She knew how to handle workce rtionships.


    As a junior employée, being shielded by Ethan like that would have caused more obstacles in her


    work.


    Both Betty and Anna had feelings for Ethan, and with ulterior motives, Ethan’s favoritism would have


    brought her trouble.


    She just wanted to focus on her work and not get involved in those games of cunning and deceit.


    Hearing Thssa’s words, Ethan understood. He nodded and said, “All right. From now on, I’ll let you


    handle things on your own.”


    The car pulled up in front of a restaurant.


    Thssa was very familiar with the restaurant, having been there three times.


    The first time was with Leopold, and the following two times were with Lysander.


    However, each time, she was unable to enjoy her meal in peace.


    Unconsciously, Thssa had developed a psychological aversion to the restaurant.


    This time, she was just apanying Ethan for a business meeting and nothing more.


    Thssa reassured herself, trying to rx.


    As she followed Ethan inside, the client was already seated and waiting.


    It was a man with chestnut brown hair.

    As they approached, Thssa could see the client’s face more clearly. Handsome and gentle, his eyes


    sparkled like spring sunshine, brimming with youthful energy.


    It was Leopold!


    Seeing him, Thssa’s heart involuntarily clenched.


    As Leopold raised his head and saw Thssa, his gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before


    shifting away as if he had just seen an unimportant stranger.


    “Mr. Sinir, sorry to keep you waiting, Ethan approached, a congenial smile on his face as he


    extended his hand in greeting.
