Chapter 1527


    When the Sinir group paid up for the design, the deal was fairly split with Thssa.


    Thssa and Hertha were about to dive into a whirlwind of activity. Selling their design was just the


    tip of the iceberg; they also had to work closely with the buyer''spany, helping them turn the


    designs into actual pieces of jewelry.


    On their way back, Hertha couldn''t help but ask Thssa, "Thssa, is there really no chance of


    you and Lysander getting back together? I mean, when he was signing the contract today, he barely


    nced at you."


    Thssa sighed, a touch of mncholy in her voice, "His fiancée now is Rosalind, and they''re thick


    as thieves. Any more contact between us, and I''d just be stirring up trouble... I can''t be the wedge


    driving them apart."


    Or else, it would be like giving someone the perfect excuse to take her out. She hadn''t even seen


    her kids yet; she wasn''t ready to die. Being a thorn in Lysander''s side was a scary thought.


    "Ah, I really feel for you, but there''s not much I can do," Hertha sighed.


    Before Lysander woke up from his slumber, Hertha had been daydreaming about a happy ending


    between Thssa and Lysander, especially after everything they''d been through together.


    But the moment Lysander woke up and immediately kicked Thssa out of Royal Estates,


    announcing his rtionship with Rosalind, Hertha was dumbfounded and furious with Lysander.


    But what could she do, being a small voice in a vast world?


    "It''s okay. We''ve got our business to focus on. These days, you can''t rely on men, only a career can


    be your true anchor," Thssa said,forting Hertha instead.


    Hertha managed a smile but said nothing more.


    Today, Thssa hade over to Hertha''s ce, bringing ingredients for a ssic barbecue to


    celebrate Thssanding a job.


    As they took the elevator up, they noticed new neighbors moving into the apartment across from


    Hertha''s. The suite had been empty for a while, but now movers were busy bringing in furniture.


    "Careful, just set it down over there," directed the new owner from inside.


    Hertha''s spine stiffened at the familiar voice. Peering through the open door, she caught sight of a


    man with a charismatic aura and those unmistakable, fox-like eyes.


    Her breath hitched, "ric!"


    She couldn''t help eximing his name.


    ric, hearing someone call him, turned around and was equally surprised to see Hertha and


    Thssa. He stepped out, "Hertha, Thssa, you guys..."


    Noticing the groceries in their hands, he quickly put two and two together, "Oh, Hertha, you live on


    this floor? Having a barbecue tonight, can I crash?"


    Hearing ric''s request to join made Hertha''s rm bells ring, she blurted out, "Absolutely not!"


    "Why not?" ric pressed.


    Hertha''s mind raced, desperately searching for an excuse, "Because, because..."


    Because she had two kids at home, and if ric saw them, what then?


    Hertha was scrambling for a reason, the more frantic she became, the harder it was to think of a


    good excuse.


    "Because her husband would be jealous!" Thssa, thinking on her feet, jumped in to save the day.


    Grasping at this lifeline, to make ric believe it, Thssa added, "Yeah, Hertha''s husband


    Spencer would definitely not appreciate it. You know how it is."


    "Ah, right, right, it''s a family dinner. It wouldn''t be appropriate to bring you along," Hertha nodded


    vigorously, ying along with Thssa''s quick thinking.


    Thssa truly hade up with a solid and convincing excuse on the spot.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
