Chapter 22

She’s got more stuff on her plate, with the police waiting for her to bring in a witness.

Plus, she needs to ring up Evelyn to check if her kids made it to the Sinclair group, and if she’s hanging around there. If not, she needs to go find the munchkins. Four kids, none of them older than five, wandering around is like playing with fire “What’s with the ‘you? This is your responsibility! Trying to slack off?” Faye snapped, her words dripping with warning.

Thalassa rolled her eyes. “Alright, alright”

Then Faye chased after Lysander in a hurry. Outside the office corridors, Faye was following Lysander’s steps. His aura was overwhelming, his male allure was off the charts, his regal demeanor, and his handsome face all had Faye hooked. Lysander was the man of her dreams.

“Faye, you seem preoccupied lately? Even making such rookie mistakes? Lysander stopped in his tracks, his icy gaze fixed on her.

He had warned her yesterday, to not let irrelevant people onto the executive floor. She had agreed verbally but today, she let four naughty kids into his office, making a complete mess out of it. Besides holding the kids responsible, he also needed to hold Faye accountable for her negligence.

Faye quickly bowed her head in admission of her fault, “I screwed up, please punish me, Mr. Sinclair.

“Since you can’t focus on your work then…” Lysander began.

Before he could utter the word ‘fired, Faye quickly looked up, anxiously blurting out, “Mr. Sinclair, I promise to improve, please don’t fire me”

She had been by Lysander’s side for a decade, what would she do without him?

Lysander scrutinized her coldly for a few seconds, she was as stubborn as ever, unwilling to leave her position as a secretary “Take an extended leave. Don’t bother coming to the company for the next three months.” Lysander declared, turning to leave.

Faye hurried after him, trying to negotiate, “Mr. Sinclair, three months is too long, three days will do. I promise to work diligently and not neglect my duties. Whatever you command, I’ll do right away. I’ll inform HR now to fire Evelyn.”

Faye remembered that Mr. Sinclair had instructed her to fire Thalassa, but she almost forgot about it due to the kids‘ debacle. This Thalassa needs to be fired, as long as she’s in the Sinclair group, Faye can’t find peace. She was about to call HR.

Lysander suddenly interjected, “Don’t bother, if we fire her, we’ll have to hire another cleaner. It’s the same either way, why go through the trouble.”

What irked Lysander was that he felt the same emotions with the second woman as he did with a woman five years ago, and he even lost his control and kissed that woman!

He was always able to keep his composure, never losing control over someone. But this woman made him break his rule!

He decided to keep her around, to test his self–control. He can’t lose control anymore! This time was an exception, but he can’t let it happen again!

If he wanted to withstand the test, he had to let the woman who made him lose control once stay by his side.

“Also, during your leave, you can head to Hollowbrook to check if that woman is dead, or if she has any sisters.” Lysander added.

Faye stopped in her tracks, watching Lysander’s retreating figure.
