chapter1132

Just as the bus came to a halt at a stop, Debby stood up, nudged her foot against Thalassa's legs

blocking the way, and strode off the bus.

As the bus pulled away, Thalassa's heart felt like it had been left behind. It was suspended in mid-air

and heavy with pain.

Thalassa was distracted all day long. With her mind somewhere else, she was constantly making

mistakes in the tasks Ethan had set for her.

"Ms. Everhart, you seem out of sorts," Ethan said, eyeing the documents Thalassa handed him riddled

with typos. It was clear that she wasn’t herself. "Look, you've got two hours left. So why don't you head

home and rest?"

"Mr. Ethan, I'll get my act together. I promise I..." Thalassa wanted to perform well, but the gloom and

distress wouldn't lift.

"Trouble with Lysander? A little sweet talk and a man will be putty in your hands. Especially Lysander.

He's a piece of cake," Ethan quipped, lifting his head to indulge in a bit of gossip.
