Chapter 648
Thssa approached Ethan, offering him the contract.
“Mr. Ethan, it’s only been a few days since I joined the Crawley Group. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to
have me negotiate with arge corporation like the Sinir Group?”
She felt like a small fish in a big pond. She was hardly capable of dealing with a big shot like Lysander,
so she was curious as to why she was sent to negotiate.
Ethan flipped open the contract. His expression froze for just a moment, and his eyebrows furrowed.
Thssa could see his disappointment and apologized again. “Mr. Ethan, I’m really sorry, I…”
“Thssa, you’re getting a bonus this month.” Ethan suddenly beamed.
A bonus?
Thssa was taken aback. A bonus for what? She was utterly confused. She hadn’tpleted her
task, and yet she was getting a bonus?
“Mr. Ethan, are you feeling okay?” Thssa asked, feeling surprised.
“Why would I be sick?” Ethan was bewildered. He suddenly noticed her swollen lips and grew

concerned. “Are you sick? Your lips are swollen. Go take a few days off. Ask Betty for leave. Don’t
worry, it’s paid leave.”
Once again, someone noticed her swollen lips.
Thssa felt embarrassed and ashamed. Her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head. “I’m not sick. I
just had some spicy food.”
Ethan paused, noticing Thssa’s blushing face. He instantly understood what had happened.
“Oh, I see…” Ethan drew out this sentence with a knowing look on his face. He then began speaking to
Thssa in a teasing tone, “Thssa, you’ve done a great job for thepany. We won’t let you go
unrewarded. Keep up the good work.”
Lysander, the hot chili pepper, had proven to be too hot to handle, leaving her lips inmed. As a man,
how could Ethan not understand what had happened?
Thssa blinked as her confusion grew. “I did a good job?”
“Yes, look here. Lysander has signed.” Ethan flipped the contract to thest page. In the lower left
corner, Lysander’s name was boldly signed.
Thssa was surprised. She had no idea when Lysander had signed the contract.
She had assumed that Lysander would not cooperate with them if the Crawley Group was delivering to
Leopold.
Yet he had signed.
Seemed like his cold attitude towards her earlier wasn’t directed at Leopold, but specifically at her.
He had decided to sign from the beginning. He was just making things difficult for her, which was why
he was so angry. He even…
Thssa’s heart skipped a beat at the thought.
She wasn’t feeling well.
Thssaposed herself and asked Ethan, “Mr. Ethan, did you intentionally send me to the Sinir
Group to negotiate with Lysander?”
“Yes, I did. I told you from the beginning. You werete, so it was a form of punishment.” Ethan
admitted it without hesitation.
“It’s not just that, is it? You’re Lysander’s friend. You knew about me and him…”
“You and him… What?” Ethan asked, interrupting her. His puzzled eyes bore into her.
Thssa hesitated, then said, “Nothing.”
Ethan had used her rtionship with Lysander to clinch the deal with the Sinir Group.
She walked right into his trap. She couldn’t voice out her rtionship with Lysander since it wasn’t
public knowledge.
Even if she wanted to confront Ethan, she had no grounds to do so.
He could feign ignorance and leave her without a good rebuttal.
How could she tell him that she and Lysander were lovers?
“Don’t be upset. I was giving you a chance to get closer to Lysander. Don’t worry; it won’t happen
again. It’s our honor to have you in the Crawley Group. Just focus on your work and don’t overthink
things.” Ethan, noticing Thssa’s anger, apologized with a smile, admitting his ulterior motives in
sending her to the Sinir Group.
The main reason was that he genuinely wanted Thssa and Lysander to spend more time together.
Lysander’s feelings for Thssa were apparent to anyone with eyes.
