Chapter 644


    Thssa took the elevator all the way up to the top floor of the towering skyscraper.


    The elevator doors slid open to reveal David waiting at the entrance.


    Thssa was taken aback. “David, where are you off to?”


    Maintaining a professional smile, David answered, “To greet you.”


    Thssa instantly understood. It was a tradition at the Sinir Corporation that whenever a guest of


    Mr. Sinir was expected, the secretary would wait by the elevator to wee them. This was a task


    that she used to perform.


    But now, it was David’s responsibility.


    It felt out of ce for David, who was an experienced executive assistant, to be tasked with such a


    small duty. It felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.


    Having David greet her made Thssa feel somewhat embarrassed. “David, why don’t you guys hire a


    secretary?”


    “Mr. Sinir hasn’t issued a hiring notice.” David replied..


    “So, no more secretaries?”


    “It seems so.”


    “But why?”


    Before he could answer, they arrived at the entrance of the CEO’s office. David politely gestured for


    Thssa to stand in the center of the doorway. He then knocked on the door and announced her


    arrival. “Mr. Sinir, a representative from the Crawley Group is here.”


    “Alright.” Lysander’s deep and resonant voice echoed from within his office.

    David nodded at Thssa. “Ms. Everhart, you may go in.”


    He then left, leaving Thssa and Lysander alone in the vast office.


    Even with the distance between them, Thssa could feel the intimidating aura emanating from


    Lysander. She took a deep breath and slowly made her way in.


    Lysander sat at his desk as his tall figure cast a long shadow on his surroundings. He was engrossed


    in some documents, so he didn’t even nce up as she approached.


    The closer Thssa got, the harder it became for her to breathe. She cautiously made her way to the


    desk and began nervously speaking, “Mr. Sinir, this is the proposal the Crawley Group wishes to


    present to you.”


    She carefully ced the documents on the desk, keeping her head bowed, so as to cower away from


    his gaze. She stole a quick nce at him before quickly looking away. Her fear from their previous


    encounter was still fresh in her mind.


    Thssa was so nervous that she could barely speak coherently.


    Lysander continued to focus on his documents, not sparing her a single nce. It was as if she were


    invisible to him.


    Thssa stood by the desk, waiting. Each passing second felt like an eternity, increasing her anxiety to


    sky-high levels. Even though Lysander didn’t say a word or look at her, she felt an overwhelming


    pressure that made her scalp tingle.


    She couldn’t take it anymore. Her palms were getting sweaty.


    “Mr. Sinir, if you’re busy right now, we could schedule…”


    “Pick up the proposal and read it to me.” Lysander interrupted her with his deep voice.


    Thssa was taken aback. She quickly picked up the proposal and started reading from the first page.


    When she finished, she nced at Lysander. She met his alluring, deep-set eyes and felt a wave of


    pressure that seemed to strike at her heart. She stuttered, “Mr. Sinir, do you see any issues?”


    “Twenty thousand phones… Was it Leopold’s decision?” Lysander’s prating gaze bore into her. His


    sharp eyes were as cold and piercing as a hawk’s.
