Charlotte was spooked by his sudden aloofness and strong vibe. She didn't dare to stick around and wanted to bolt right there and then.
Feeling a tad guilty, she slowly put her phone back and chuckled awkwardly, "Lysander, since you're swamped, let's do dinner some other time. I just remembered I've got unfinished work. I gotta head back to the office."
Then she stood up and hightailed it out of there.
Once she was out of Lysander's office and out from under his intense pressure, Charlotte broke into a smug grin.
She deliberately let Lysander see that picture.
Once Lysander knew that Thalassa had been involved with other men and was pretty touchy-feely with them, no matter how gorgeous Thalassa was, Lysander would probably get grossed out.
After all, how could Lysander stomach his woman being involved with other men?
Charlotte achieved her goal and trotted off joyfully.
Back in the office, Lysander was icy and his eyes were frosty.
His hand clutching the pen was so white from exertion, but he didn't even notice.
Thalassa spent the day in the secretary's office. Lysander didn't call for her, neither did David.
When the workday was over, she had only familiarized herself with the materials, and it was time to clock out.
She quickly packed up and got ready to leave.
Regardless of whether Lysander had left or not, it was quitting time and she didn't have anything else to do. Was she supposed to just sit in the office twiddling her thumbs?
Even if Lysander found out she left before him, what was the worst he could do, fire her?
She wouldn't mind that at all.
Thalassa hopped in her blue-purple BMW and hit the road.
Even though her driving skills were still a bit rusty, she wasn't as scared anymore thanks to the morning's driving experience.
Back home, Evelyn and the kids hadn't returned yet, so she poured herself a glass of juice and sat by the dining table, sipping and waiting.
About ten minutes later, Evelyn returned with the four kids.
