Chapter 1852


    After spending several days at home, resting and keeping Lysanderpany, Thssa had settled into aforting routine. This morning, just as she finished her breakfast, her phone buzzed with a call from Donovan, the jovial manager at the jewelry design firm where she worked.


    Curiosity piqued, Thssa answered the call, wondering what could have prompted Donovan to reach out suddenly.


    Donovan''s cheerful voice filled the line, "Thssa, you''re officially part of our team, remember? You''ve got a contract and all. We''ve missed your spark around here. When can we expect you back?"


    Thssa paused, the reminder jolting her back to reality. She had been on leave for so long, recuperating from a car ident, that her job had nearly slipped her mind.


    Donovan was right; she was still employed by the firm, bound by a contract she had willingly signed. "Oh, I''ll head over soon," Thssa replied, a hint of surprise in her voice. "I thought the silence meant you''d let me go," she added, half-jokingly.


    Donovanughed off her concern, "Oh,e on, we''re not that heartless. We value our team. As long as you don''t quit, you''re one of us."


    Internally, Thssa couldn''t help but roll her eyes. She recalled how Donovan hadn''t been so lenient with Hertha, who had struggled to meet her targets. It was only through their coboration that Hertha had managed to stay on.


    Yet, Thssa chose to keep the conversation light, masking her criticism with a soft tone, "That''s very generous of thepany, truly."


    Donovan, sharp as ever, likely picked up on her sarcasm but chose to y along with a simple, "Of course."


    Wrapping up the call, Thssa


    promised to be in soon. As she ended the call, Lysander wheeled himself into the room. The chill in her gaze melted into warmth at the sight of him. "I''ve got to head to work today, can''t stick around," she told him, her voice softening. "But I''ll be back as soon as I can."


    Lysander, ever the stoic, simply nodded, his deep voice advising, "Just make sure to bnce work and rest."


    Their interaction, always calm and tender, seemed to freeze a perfect moment in time.


    Upon arriving at the office, Thssa


    found Hertha already at her desk, looking worn with dark circles under her eyes. Approaching her, Thssa lightly tapped Hertha''s shoulder, greeting her with a casual, "Morning, Hertha. Rough night?"


    Hertha''s energy instantly spiked at the sight of Thssa, her eyes widening in admiration. "The legendary designer graces us with her presence!" Hertha eximed, her enthusiasm palpable. "You wouldn''t believe it-your designs for Lysander sold out instantly. You''re the talk of the town!"


    Stunned, Thssa could only blink in disbelief, questioning, "Is that for real?"


    Hertha, yful and beaming, reassured her, "Would I lie to you about something this big? You''re a star now!"N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
