    Thssa was startled, her entire body colliding with the man’s chest.


    His chest was firm, brimming with raw masculine power. Her eyes, wide and panicked, met his stern,


    icy gaze.


    His face was rugged, his skin tanned, radiating a strong masculine allure.


    Thssa’s heart stuttered and she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Captain Payne, I didn’t mean to.”


    Thssa apologized to Payne, trying to pull away and exit his embrace.


    Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming presence flooded in, the air vibrating with disruption.


    Thssa’s heart skipped a beat, and in the next second, her wrist was seized, with a swift tug, she was

    pulled out of Payne’s arms.


    Facing Lysander’s deep and cold eyes, Thssa caught her breath, her body stiffening, her legs


    feeling numb as if they weren’t her own. Lysander’s handsome face darkened, his voice cold as ice.


    “What were you doing just now?”


    His eyes followed down her face and saw her dress. His gaze was cold and dark with annoyance.


    She was wearing a low-cut evening dress. One could see a glimpse of her curves if they leaned in too


    close.


    And she had just thrown herself into Payne’s arms!


    Thssa panicked, wanting to exin.


    Payne said, his tone casual and nonchnt, “Thisdy is quite interesting, trying to pique my interest in


    a case. You’re interrupting at a rather unfortunate time, Lysander.”


    He smiled, and his stern eyes were filled with an ambiguous glint, watching Lysander unblinkingly.


    His words made Thssa more nervous. They were full of ambiguity and could easily lead to


    misunderstandings.


    “No, I was just going to have a drink with Captain Payne…”


    Thssa’s words were cut short by Lysander’s oppressive gaze. He asked, “Is that so? First step a


    drink, what’s the next step?”


    His handsome face looked cold. He gritted his teeth as he finished his words, and let go of Thssa’s


    wrist.


    His deep eyes were filled with resentment and anger.


    “I didn’t think about a next step. I just wanted to convince Captain Payne to take a case…” Thssa


    hurriedly exined. Lysander’s icy and intimidating aura was making her breathing heavy.


    She wasn’t sure why she felt the need to exin, but she had a gut feeling that if Lysander was angry,


    she would face consequences.


    “Don’t be a nuisance here!” Lysander spoke coldly, acting icy and aloof


    Thssa was stunned. Seeing the disdain in his deep eyes, her heart ached involuntarily.


    She realized that all her exnations were futile in front of Lysander.


    And she suddenly realized why exin? Lysander had already pushed her out of his life. He didn’t


    want to see her anymore.


    Who she was with and who she was intimate with, seemed to have nothing to do with him.


    Thssa’s face paled, her eyes lowered, and she quietly stepped back and disappeared from


    Lysander’s sight, not to bother him


    anymore.


    “Lysander, do you know this woman?” Payne asked casually, looking at Lysander.


    “Not worth mentioning.” Lysander’s voice was cold and low, clearly not wanting to discuss Thssa,


    Payne, however, ignored his dismissive attitude. “If you hadn’t shown up today, I might have gotten


    lucky. You have really bad timing.”
