That left Thalassa utterly bemused.
She paused, looking at Ethan, holding her tongue.
Seeing her blank and innocent expression, Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Is it that Lysander has set the bar too high and needs someone to balance him out?” he quipped.
It took Thalassa a moment to realize that he was implying that she was not as clever.
And he had linked her with Lysander, which made her blush in embarrassment and annoyance, her cheeks growing warm.
“Mr. Ethan, why don’t I record this and play it for Lysander so that he can award you for your wit?” Thalassa retorted, clearly peeved.
“I just made a joke, and you’re already angry. I called you out to help you. You don’t need to thank me, but you’re upset. This is not fun at all,” Ethan said.
Help her?

Ethan had seen her being bossed around by Betty and Anna and had purposefully invited her out.
On one hand, it gave her a temporary respite from their demands.
On the other hand, it showed Betty and Anna that he valued Thalassa, indirectly warning them to back off.
Thalassa was indeed oblivious to his ulterior motives.
Because of Lysander, he was helping her, right?
“What if it backfires? You underestimate a woman’s jealousy, Thalassa warned. “I can handle this situation. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ethan.”
Thalassa appreciated Ethan’s goodwill, but it was unnecessary.
She was not a novice in the corporate world. She knew how to handle workplace relationships.
As a junior employée, being shielded by Ethan like that would have caused more obstacles in her work.
Both Betty and Anna had feelings for Ethan, and with ulterior motives, Ethan’s favoritism would have brought her trouble.
She just wanted to focus on her work and not get involved in those games of cunning and deceit.
Hearing Thalassa’s words, Ethan understood. He nodded and said, “All right. From now on, I’ll let you handle things on your own.”
The car pulled up in front of a restaurant.
Thalassa was very familiar with the restaurant, having been there three times.

The first time was with Leopold, and the following two times were with Lysander.
However, each time, she was unable to enjoy her meal in peace.
Unconsciously, Thalassa had developed a psychological aversion to the restaurant.
This time, she was just accompanying Ethan for a business meeting and nothing more.
Thalassa reassured herself, trying to relax.
As she followed Ethan inside, the client was already seated and waiting.
It was a man with chestnut brown hair.
As they approached, Thalassa could see the client’s face more clearly. Handsome and gentle, his eyes sparkled like spring sunshine, brimming with youthful energy.
It was Leopold!
Seeing him, Thalassa’s heart involuntarily clenched.
As Leopold raised his head and saw Thalassa, his gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before shifting away as if he had just seen an unimportant stranger.
“Mr. Sinclair, sorry to keep you waiting, Ethan approached, a congenial smile on his face as he extended his hand in greeting.
