Chapter 1484


    "Fine, that jerk made his bed, now he can lie in it! Thssa, are you free right now? Why don''t you


    come over to my ce? We could really use a good chat." Hertha was quick to shift gears, cursing


    Lysander under her breath and no longer trying to push Thssa towards him.


    Knowing that Thssa was now on her own, Hertha was aware that solitude could lead to


    overthinking. So she invited Thssa over, knowing that a lively atmosphere could help shake off


    the blues.


    "Sure, I''ll be there soon." After hanging up the phone, Thssa got moving.


    Driving her car, Thssa arrived at the Gulfstream Community.


    As she approached Hertha''s building, she spotted a tall, devilishly handsome man lingering outside.


    Dressed in ck cks and a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his lean


    arms added to his allure.


    It was ric!


    Seeing him, Thssa''s internal rm bells went off.


    ric saw Thssa first, his eyes lighting up as he approached her. "Thssa, you''re here to see


    Hertha, right?"


    Meeting ric''s smirking gaze, Thssa tensed up. "It''s Tuesday, shouldn''t you be at work?"


    He was loitering outside Hertha''s building of all ces! He couldn''t possibly be here to see Hertha,


    could he?


    "I took the day off." ric''s lips curled into a mischievous smile. "You lead the way, I''ll follow."


    Without revealing his intentions, he positioned himself behind Thssa.


    But Thssa saw right through him. Instead of moving forward, she turned around and scrutinized


    him with a wary look. "Mr. Falconer, why aren''t you at home sleeping on your day off instead of


    hanging around someone else''s building? What are you up to?"

    "It''s just that Hertha was injured before, and I wasn''t aware when she got discharged from the


    hospital. I didn''t have a chance to send her off. They say when a good friend is hurt, you should


    warm their heart with a visit and a get-well gift. I''ve had this gift ready for over a month, and today I


    finally found the time to drop by and check on her."


    ric kept his smile, not beating around the bush and admitting he was here to see Hertha.


    "Why don''t you just go up then?" Thssa asked.


    "I''m not sure exactly which apartment is hers," ric replied, maintaining his charming yet polite


    smile.


    His awkward confession didn''t match his confident demeanor. He had followed Hertha before, knew


    she lived in the Gulfstream Community, and even knew the building number, but not her specific


    floor or apartment.


    Thssa was taken aback for a moment, then offered a politely distant smile. "On behalf of Hertha,


    I thank you, Mr. Falconer, for your concern. We appreciate the thought, but no need for a gift. You


    should go back, and I will let Hertha know you had her in your thoughts."


    Joke''s on him – she certainly couldn''t lead ric to Hertha''s ce. What if he saw Hertha''s two


    kids?


    That would be a disaster.


    Hertha hadn''t disclosed her address to ric, likely worried that it would expose her children’s


    existence to him.


    "That just wouldn''t do. The sentiment needs to be delivered in person," ric insisted, determined


    as he headed towards the building, set on visiting Hertha''s home.


    Thssa frowned slightly, caught in a bind.


    Just then, a refined male voice called her name from behind. "Thssa, are you here to see


    Hertha?"
