Chapter 600


    Leopold’s voice was raw, like a wounded young boy, his words harsh and bitter.


    unde


    Thssa’s breath hitched, and her heart twinged in an unspoken pain.


    His hurried breaths,den with distress, brushed against the nape of her neck


    The youthful scent he carried was too familiar, and it hurt her.


    Thssa closed her eyes, took a deep breath, bit down on her teeth, and gently unsped his hands


    from her. She stepped forward, moving away from


    his touch.


    Her actions were decisive, a clear rejection.


    “Thssa…” Leopold voiced, his tone bitter.


    Struggling to keep her breath steady, her expression cool, Thssa distanced Herself, “Leopold,


    Debby’s a good girl. Don’t let her down.”


    With that, she turned to leave.


    “Do you really want me to marry Debby?” Leopold called, his voice full of pain.


    His eyes, slightly trembling, were fixed on her retreating figure, awaiting her response.


    Thssa halted her steps, her hands clenched at her sides. Her voice trembled, but she managed to


    sound indifferent, “I wish you well.”


    With that, she walked away without looking back.


    She was clear about what she wanted. One must let go of what cannot be to grasp what can be.


    And the letting go needs to be decisive. The more one lingers, the ‘more it hurts


    Her beautiful memories with Leopold were in the past. It was time to let them stay there.


    Leopold watched Thssa walk away, her figure resolute, not once looking back.


    His eyes shimmered with tears, and his breath hitched.


    That wasn’t the first time she had turned her back on him, refusing him.


    But his heart hurt more each time, like a knife ripping it apart piece by piece until there was hardly


    anything left.


    Thssa returned to the restaurant where Ethan was still sitting, engrossed in his phone. She


    approached him, “Mr. Ethan, I don’t think I’m needed here.


    My presence might hinder your work conversation. Perhaps I should head back to the office.”


    She couldn’t bear to hear Leopold talk about their conflict under the guise of a work discussion.


    She didn’t have the strength to face Leopold’s pain.


    “That’s fine. Ask the driver to drop you off,” Ethan suggested.


    “No need, I can take a cab,” Thssa replied.


    “Let the driver drop you, it’s safer. He can drop you off and thene back for me,” Ethan insisted.


    Even if she were an ordinary secretary, Ethan would have done the same. More so, considering


    Thssa was Lysander’s woman.


    As Leopold approached, Thssa decided not to waste any more time and agreed to Ethan’s


    suggestion.

    She left the restaurant.


    Leopold slid into the seat she had vacated, his emotions under control as if nothing had happened.


    I know your secretary, Mr. Ethan. She was a secretary at mypany before it got acquired by


    Lysander,” Leopold said, his gaze on Ethan, a hint of mncholy in his eyes.


    The topic of conversation had veered from work to Thssa.


    “Oh? So that’s how it is. It seems Lysander’s acquisition of yourpany wasn’t purely business,”


    Ethan said, intrigued by that new piece of information.


    Could it be that Lysander had genuine feelings for Thssa?


    He had gone as far as acquiring Leopold’spany for her.


    Acquiring apany just to poach an employee was indeed a Lysander move.


    Leopold watched the amused twinkle in Ethan’s eyes, his own growing more deste.


    So, everyone knew that Lysander had acquired hispany for Thssa.
