Chapter 852
Thssa''s eyshes quivered and her face instinctively recoiled.
Lysander''s movements stilled as ayer of icy chill cloaked his eyes, "Still not used to me yet?"
Thssa avoided his gaze and dropped her eyshes, "No, I''m just not feeling well. I''m not in the
mood..."
Lysander''s deep gaze lingered on her for a while, but he didn''t insist. Instead, he pulled her into his
embrace, holding her close and saying nothing. "Sleep," hemanded.
He knew she wasn''t emotionally well. He would give her time topletely let go.
Moments before, Thssa had been tensely facing away from Lysander. His warm breath on the back
of her neck made her feel threatened.
Now, she was facing him and being wrapped in his arms. Her cheek nuzzled against his firm chest and
could feel his steady and powerful heartbeat. It turned out that she was somehow less afraid.
Her fatigue overcame her and she fell asleep quickly.
...
When Thssa went to work, Ethan sent her to Leopold''s studio. The Crawley Group had a contract
with Leopold''s studio, but now that Leopold was gone, the contract needed to be renegotiated.
Thssa arrived at the studio Leopold had created.
Her heart was heavy as she prepared to enter. It took several deep breaths before she could muster
the courage to step inside.
She expected to find just a few people, but to her surprise, every workstation was filled. There was not
a single truant employee. Each one was diligently working, everything in order.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" A young woman approached and inquired politely.
Thssa was pulled from her thoughts by his question, "This is Leopold''s studio, right?"
She hadn''t gone to the wrong ce, had she?
Leopold was dead, but his studio was running smoothly. With the boss gone, who were these
employees working for?
"Yes, this is the studio Mr. Sinir founded. I was Mr. Sinir''s assistant in his lifetime. You can call me
Lily," the woman responded.
She lowered his gaze and carried a hint of sorrow in her voice, "Poor Mr. Sinir. No one expected him
to leave us so suddenly. Just the day before the ident, he had promised the families of those two
workers that he would find a solution from the Sinir Group. But he died before he could get an
answer."
Lily was the colleague who had been helping Leopold deal with the victims'' families. She was also
Leopold''s assistant.
Thssa asked, "You''re saying Leopold had a confrontation with the families of the two workers who
died in the explosion the day before he died?"
Lily confirmed her question, "Yes, we were all angry but Mr. Sinir stayed calm and promised to get
an answer andpensation from the Sinir Group. How could he suddenly jump off a building? I

just can''t understand..."
Thssa was left with a huge doubt. Leopold had been determined to get an answer for the workers''
families and he even promised as much. Why would he kill himself before he could fulfill his promise?
It didn''t make sense.
"Lily,e and see this. The Sinir Group has released a statement. The explosion case has been
solved and a conclusion has been reached," Amelia suddenly emerged from the manager''s office, her
phone in her hand and excitement on her face.
Lily hurried over.
Seeing Amelia, Thssa finally understood why Leopold''s studio was still running smoothly after his
death. Amelia had been managing things in his stead.
Thssa also approached, joining Lily to see what was on Amelia''s phone.
