Chapter 69

Thalassa got back to her rented house in Pinecrest Estates.

She had set up a room specifically for Astrid, and the kids were thrilled about it.

She checked the time and discovered that it was already 11 in the morning, so the job hunt would have to be postponed till the afternoon.

Thalassa was about to cook something when her phone went off.

The incoming call was from the head of the cleaning department at the Sinclair Group.

She picked up the call. "Hello, Director Noreen."

"Evelyn, oh no, it's Thalassa You've been AWOL for a day and a half! If you don't show up soon, I'm docking your pay for the last couple of days. Noreen's voice on the other end was stern.

Surprised Thalassa asked. 'Director Noreen, are you sure you got it right? Didn't I get fired?"

Oh, wait a sec, Noreen had just called her Thalassal

Did Noreen know about her identity theft too?

"Who said you got fired? Did I send you a termination notice? Noreen countered.

Confused. Thalassa replied, "Um, no?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Get back to work ASAP! Bring your own identification file and bank card. We need to update your records. No more shenanigans like this again." Noreen hung up after saying that.

Thalassa was stunned. She hadn't been fired!

Noreen had even instructed her to update her identification, meaning she knew Thalassa had screwed up but hadn't fired her.

Was this Lysander's doing?

Lysander's actions left Thalassa feeling both surprised and elated, yet also a bit confused.

Didnt he despise her?

She had made such a huge mistake, and he hadn't fired her?

What a weirdo.

But since she hadn't been fired, she wouldn't need to look for a job anymore. The Sinclair Group paid so well that she couldn't make that much anywhere else.

Now that Astrid was here too, she had more responsibilities. She couldn't afford to mess around.

Being able to continue working at the Sinclair Group was a godsend.

After lunch, Thalassa headed off to work.

When she got to the cleaning department, Director Noreen didn't say much. She just told Thalassa to go to HR to update her identification, then sent her off to clean the top floor.

Thalassa was in high spirits. She finished cleaning the meeting room and the secretarys office.

The secretary's office was empty today, so she finished quickly and then headed to the CEO's office out of habit.

These were all her cleaning areas.

Lysander hadn't arrived yet.

Thalassa mopped the floor while humming a nursery rhyme cheerfully.

It was a song she often sang to her daughter, Elowen, who loved it

She always used this song to lull Elowen to sleep

As Thalassa mopped the floor intently, a tall figure silently walked in behind her, but she didn't notice.

She was mopping and backing up at the same time.

Suddenly, she bumped into a pair of long legs and stepped on a pair of shiny black dress shoes.

"Ah Thalassa shrieked, holding her sore waist. She turned around to see a handsome but cold face, and she tensed up instantly
