Chapter 1545


    Thssa''s nerves were on edge, and her surprise was palpable as she gawked at Astrid. Just moments ago, her aunt was at odds with Dr. Funke,


    and now she was agreeing to go to a movie with him? What in the world was happening? Was it a case of ‘opposites attract’?


    Dr. Funke promptly whipped out his smartphone, purchased two tickets on the spot, and said to Astrid, “The mall''s cinema, show starts in half an


    hour. Let''s head out.”


    Astrid sprang to her feet, eagerly matching Dr. Funke''s pace. “Let’s hit the road!”


    “Auntie...” Thssa voiced her concern, attempting to follow.


    Astrid halted, turning back to address her, “Thssa, head back home, alright? I''ll watch the movie and have Dr. Funke drop me off afterward. You go


    catch some Z''s."


    With that, Astrid proceeded to follow Dr. Funke, leaving Thssa behind.


    Obediently, Thssa didn''t follow; understanding that tagging along on what seemed to be a date between Dr. Funke and her aunt would only make


    her a third wheel. As she watched Dr. Funke and Astrid exit the diner, Thssa’s thoughts were a tangled mess of confusion and mncholy.


    Today was supposed to be the day she had set Dr. Funke up on a blind date. How had her aunt be involved? She knew her aunt''s immediate


    eptance was to spare Dr. Funke any embarrassment. thinking of Thssa’s feelings first and foremost. Yet, it all felt so bizarre to her.


    Lost in her thoughts, Thssa


    suddenly felt piercing gaze on her


    back. Without needing to look, she.


    knew it was Lysander watching her,


    causing-her whole body to tense-up


    instantly. She half-turned, managing


    a foréed chuckle, "Please, ge ahead,


    emjoy your meal. I''ll be heading


    back.”


    Rosalind and Lysander were here for a date, after all. She certainly didn''t want to y the unwanted role of a third wheel.


    “Hold it right there!” Just as Thssa was about to leave, Lysander’smanding voice halted her in her tracks. She didn’t want to stop, but there


    was something almost maic about Lysander’s words that made her body involuntarily obey.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “It saves David the trouble of calling you. We need to discuss some technical aspects of your design,” Lysander''s deep voice conveyed.


    A wave of relief washed over Thssa’s anxious heart. So, he wasn''t trying to keep her here to witness his and Rosalind''s lovey-dovey moments, but


    for work? Since it was about work, there was no escaping it.


    Thssa took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, turned around, and managed a polite smile, “May I know which aspects of the design Mr. Sinir


    wishes to discuss?


    “Lysander left-all the design

    Lysander’s sharp and imposing look silenced her mid-sentence, scaring her into silence. She could tell, Lysander was genuinely angry! Because he
