Lysander's gaze shifted towards the entrance, and sure enough, there she was, broom in hand, apparently ready to get down to scrubbing.
Was she Evelyn?
Why did Hertha, the lady who just entered, addressed her Thalassa?
Was that her real name?
Faye, who was already on edge, felt her anxiety skyrocket when she heard Hertha call out Thalassa's name and saw Lysander's face darken abruptly.
Her heart pounded like a jackhammer, as if her secret was about to be spilled, and she was scared stiff of being offed by Lysander himself.
Thalassa lifted her gaze to meet Hertha's, who was now shooting her a desperate plea.
She too had heard Hertha calling her out.
The utterance of "Thalassa" made her heart skip a beat. She thought, "I'm screwed! Now, Mr. Sinclair, Faye, and David all know I've been pulling a fast one at the Sinclair group."
She was bound to be sacked and publicly shamed.
She was already broke, and the current situation was just rubbing salt in the wound.
Thalassa now felt awkward whether she stayed or left and could only linger at the entrance.
She let out a couple of nervous chuckles, about to respond, when she caught Lysander's icy and piercing gaze. She choked on the words she had intended to say.
"Evelyn, just how many identities are you juggling?" Lysander tossed his pen and leaned back in his chair, his icy stare seemingly freezing Thalassa in place.
His demeanor was frosty as he scrutinized Thalassa.
The pen did a pirouette on the table before clattering to the floor, the sharp sound heralding his seething anger.
