Chapter 790


    After Thssa had spoken, her hand, clutching her clothes, instinctively tightened. She chided herself


    for her naiveté. Why would she tantly change clothes in the bedroom?


    Didn’t she know that Lysander was right there?


    She should have changed in the bathroom.


    Now that he had seen her, she felt a mix of embarrassment and awkwardness.


    Lysander sat up, and the nket slid off him, revealing his muscr upper body. His chest was firm,


    his abs well-defined, exuding raw


    power.


    Justst night, it was this body that held her and controlled her, drawing her deeper and deeper into


    pleasure.


    As Thssa’s gaze fell upon his body, she took a sharp breath, her face flushing. She quickly turned


    around and hurriedly went to the bathroom.


    Watching her shyly retreat, Lysander’s eyes deepened.


    He remembered her saying she was powerless against his body, that she liked how he was built.


    Those words had deeply touched him.


    Thssa got dressed, freshened up, and when she came back, Lysander was already dressed, looking


    distinguished and sophisticated, a stark contrast to his demeanor in bedst night…


    Thssa quickly averted her gaze, announcing, “I’m heading downstairs.”


    With that, she left the room. Lysander didn’t say a word and went into the bathroom to freshen up.


    Downstairs, breakfast was ready, with only the maid attending the table. Fitch was nowhere to be seen.


    Thssa checked the time. It was just past nine in the morning. Fitch must have taken the children to


    school. Yesterday, the children were frightened at the mall. She wondered if they were feeling better


    today.


    But seeing as they were able to go to school on time, they should be fine.


    Thssa sat down and started on her breakfast. Soon, Lysander came down and took a seat opposite


    her.


    His presence seemed to make the entire space grow cold. Thssa slowed down, as if afraid to disturb


    him.


    Lysander nced at her and in a deep, husky voice, said, “Eat up. Don’t be shy.”


    Thssa blinked in surprise, then nodded slightly, replying, “Okay, got it.”


    After finishing breakfast, Thssa thought it would be the chauffeur taking her to work, but to her


    surprise, Lysander drove her himself.


    As Thssa sat in the passenger’s seat and Lysander took the wheel, she turned to look out the


    window, watching as the scenery whizzed past.


    Neither of them spoke, and soon they arrived at the headquarters of the Crawley Group.


    “Drive safe,” Thssa said as she got out of the car, attempting to lighten the heavy atmosphere.


    As she spoke, Lysander’s gaze deepened. If it weren’t for the fact that she was standing outside the


    car, he would have pulled her in for a deep kiss.


    Meeting his intense gaze, Thssa understood the implication. She turned away in fright, almost


    running away.


    If she didn’t leave now, she wouldn’t be able to escape from him.


    Lysander watched her retreating figure before starting the car and driving off.


    When Thssa arrived at the secretary’s office, Betty wasn’t there.


    It was already ten in the morning, and Betty should have been at work by now, unless she had taken a

    day off.


    Recalling how Betty had taken her ne to sell at the mall, and how she had been kicked by


    Lysander after she had threatened her children, Thssa figured she must have taken the day off to


    recover.


    Thssa settled down at her desk and started working.


    “Thssa,e to my office for a moment,” Ethan called out from the doorway before leaving.


    “Okay.” Thssa quickly put her work aside and followed him into his office.
