She worked for him, earned bonuses, and pulled in a paycheck that was unmatched anywhere else.


    She had been in Ethan''spany, and it had been the most contented, mostfortable job with the most satisfying pay she


    ever had.


    When Ethan saw the surprise on her face, he cracked a wry smile and said, "Thest few times, | sent you to negotiate with


    Lysander and you clinched the deal. It was no ident—I saw potential in your rtionship with Lysander. | actually intentionally


    leveraged your personal connection to benefit my ownpany."


    Thssa''s finely arched brows twitched ever so slightly. Though she was well aware of these machinations, she didn''t expect


    Ethan to openly tell her.


    “Recently, a lot of things happened because of the Crawley Group''s coboration with the Sinir Enterprises. Even Leopold


    Sinir thought that..." Ethan trailed off, unable to finish.


    Leopold was a good kid. He was an ambitious and hardworking man.


    And yet, he had lost his life over this deal, and every time Ethan thought about it, his heart ached so fiercely that he struggled to


    breathe.


    It was then that he realized how terribly wrong his actions had been.


    At the mention of Leopold''s name, Thssa''s heart clenched painfully, and the tears she had managed to fight back now


    threatened to burn her eyes once again.


    The name Leopold had be her unspeakable sorrow.


    "Stop," Thssa pleaded, her voice heavy as she fought back tears, urging Ethan to say no more.


    "| know your guilt. You shielded me from that scalding water once, preventing burns, and I''ve helped you with the contracts.


    We''re even now. No debts, no regrets, and no need for self-reproach."


    With these words, Thssa turned and walked away.


    She feared that if she stayed any longer, her tears would flood like a breached dam, making her more embarrassed in front of


    Ethan.


    Ethan didn''t follow her. He stood still, watching Thssa''s sorrowful retreating figure.


    His hand hanging by his side curled slightly, his breathing quickened.


    Leopold had been a sun-kissed youth who loved racing, but a tragic ident during a corporate deal had robbed him of his life.


    At first, Ethan hadn''t realized his mistake. But as time passed, he came to a stark realization. If he hadn''t signed that contract


    with Leopold, if he hadn''t handed Leopold''s job over to Sinir Enterprises, perhaps Leopold would still be alive.


    The moment this realization hit, Ethan''s heart twisted in agony.


    Just the thought brought a mist of tears to his eyes, the pain was unbearable.


    He imagined how much those who cared for Leopold must have suffered at his loss.


    Caught in his reflections, Ethan noticed Thssa was about to leave the hospital grounds.


    He snapped back to reality and hurried after.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    Thssa didn''t even nce his way and said, "No need, | don''t want to hold you up. I''ll catch a cab."


    Ethan''s smile faded, "What, not even going to afford your boss that little courtesy?"


    Thssa gave him a sidelong look.
