Chapter 105
“Mr. Sinclair, if you check the surveillance system on your computer, you’ll see I didn’t eavesdrop on
your conversation. I want to underline that I was not lurking around your door, and the cameras outside
can back me up on this.”
Joie was about to leave after today, and it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. If she didn’t handle
this situation now, she might never get the chance.
Thalassa was stressed out, knowing that Joie and her gang were the ones who started this rumor.
Zephyr, sitting by the side, was giving Thalassa a cold, eagle-eyed stare.
Lysander chuckled, “This is a minor issue, not worth wasting everyone’s time.”
Seriously, what’s wrong with this woman?
Can’t she read the room?
Lysander was at a loss for words.
When Thalassa heard what Lysander had to say, she didn’t know how to respond. His words were
exactly what Faye had said.
He had no intention of wasting his time clearing up her misunderstanding.
Thalassa was even more anxious. She pleaded with Mr. Sinclair, “I know I’m not important at all and I’m
taking your time, but this is about my reputation. Please, just check the surveillance footage on your
computer. It won’t take much of your time.”
Lysander looked up at Thalassa, his gaze turning icy cold. The tension in the office was palpable.
David, standing nearby, wiped sweat off his forehead.
Thalassa sure had guts. She knew all about Mr. Sinclair’s temper, yet she persisted.
She held her breath, waiting for Lysander’s response.
Suddenly, Joie barged in. She approached Lysander and blurted out, “Mr. Sinclair, I was the one who
spread the rumor and framed Thalassa. I was just jealous because she used someone else’s identity to
get a job here and didn’t get fired for it. And I was jealous because she got to clean the top floors on
her first day.”
Thalassa was taken aback by Joie’s sudden confession.
Joie continued, “I’ve realized my mistake and handed in my resignation. After today, I won’t be part of
the Sinclair group any longer. I did something wrong and I’m ready to face the consequences. But
Thalassa used someone else’s identity to get a job here, which is against the company rules. She
should be punished too. I don’t understand why she only had to correct her personal information and
didn’t face any consequences, not even a pay cut
“Are you questioning my decision?” Lysander asked coldly.
Joie was startled. She lowered her head and stammered, “No, sir.”
She hadn’t realized that it was Mr. Sinclair’s decision not to fire Thalassa or dock her pay.
If she’d known that, she wouldn’t have said what she did.
Joie was so scared her knees were shaking
Thalassa was stunned by this revelation. Did this mean that Mr. Sinclair had saved her job when she
was found out for using her mother’s identity to get a job at the Sinclair group? Was that why she
wasn’t fired?
Why would Lysander help her?
Thalassa was puzzled for a moment, but quickly shook it off.
Now was not the time to ponder these things. She had more important things to discuss.
She said to Lysander, “Mr. Sinclair, someone manipulated Joie into spreading rumors and slandering
me. And her gripe with me isn’t about me using my mother’s identity to get a job at the Sinclair group.
She’s just jealous because she wants to work on the top floors, so she can get close to you and seduce
you. Director Noreen didn’t give her that chance, so she’s been holding a grudge against me. In short,
she’s just green with envy because I get to be near you every day.”
After Thalassa finished speaking, Zephyr’s expression turned even more serious as he fixed his
piercing gaze on Thalassa.
Lysander could feel his grandfather’s displeasure, and his face grew even colder.
