Joie turned to Thalassa, âThis is my last day here, Thalassa. Youâve won.â
With those words, Joie left the Cleaning Department.
Frowning. Thalassa went into Noreenâs office, âDirector Noreenâ¦
âThalassa, do you know why I didnât let Joie work at the top level?â Noreen suddenly asked.
âI have no idea,â Thalassa replied.
âBecause she got a big ambition. She was trying to get close to Lysander. I couldnât allow someone like that to be at the top. Youâre more innocent in comparison. But I didnât expect that not only did you seduce Lysander, you made it the talk of the town; Noreen said.
âDirector Noreen, itâs not what you thinkâ¦â Thalassa tried to explain in a hurry.
âI know what youâre trying to say, Thalassa. Joie has apologized to me and quit her job. This is the end of it. You can leave now,â Noreen interrupted her Thalassa wanted to explain further, but seeing Noreenâs expression, she knew Noreen didnât want to hear it.
Noreen told her not to pursue Joieâs responsibility and to let it be.
But even though Joie had quit, everyone in the company thought she was the one spreading rumors and trying to seduce Lysander. They saw her as a cunning woman, Her reputation was ruined.
How could this be the end of it?
If Director Noreen wouldnât help her, she would go to Lysander. Sheâd have him announce to the company that she didnât spread those rumors!
Thalassa decided to talk to Lysander.
But Lysander wasnât in his office. He hadnât been in the company since morning.
Desperate to clear her name, Thalassa called David, Lysanderâs assistant, to ask where he was.
After a few rings, David picked up, âThalassa, whatâs up?â
âDavid, do you know where Lysander is? When will he be back?â Thalassa asked.
âLysanderâs at a fashion show. The company is hosting a big one today so he might not be back until the afternoon. If itâs urgent, you can tell me and Iâll pass the message, David replied.
âAlright, Iâll wait for him then. Thanks, Thalassa hung up.
So Lysander was at a fashion show. That explained his absence.
Thalassa knew about the big fashion show project Sinclair Group was undertaking this quarter.
All the previous meetings were about finalizing the fashion designs.
The show was of great importance to Sinclair Group with a humongous budget.
Lysander was at the fashion show, Thalassa didnât want to bother him with her personal issues.
She could only wait until he returned.
Thalassa decided to calm down and continue working.
She had cleaned every restroom on every floor.
As she was about to take the elevator to the Cleaning Department, the executive elevator stopped on the top floor and the doors opened.
-Out stepped the tall and handsome Lysander, radiating a cold aura, his face stern.
Accompanying him was an older gentleman, tall and muscular, with a strong presence and serious expression.
This was Lysanderâs grandfather, Zephyr Sinclair.
David followed closely, looking extremely cautious.
