Hearing her ask about her face, the girl covered her bandaged cheek.
"Hello, Miss Lyra, my name is Lola Dean. The left side of my face was caused by me. I fell downstairs two days ago. Miss Lyra, please don't worry. It will definitely not affect my working hours and this will be healed soon."
Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear, which was a bit harsh.
Lyra wrapped her arms around the baby, patting and coaxing gently. Quickly, she did not look at her, "You're not suitable. You can leave."
Chad wanted to take the girl away.
The girl didn't move and asked reluctantly, "Miss Lyra, you don't even test whether I'm qualified. You don't want to hire me because of my face? So you're just judging people by their appearance?"
Lyra wrinkled her brows slightly and raised her eyes to watch her again.
Chad sensed Lyra's anger and hurried to pull the girl away, "What are you talking about!? I have never seen such an unreasonable job applicant! You think this is the only reason? Don't use excessive standards to attack others!"
The girl was pulled by him and moved two steps towards the door.
Lyra, who was on the bed, finally spoke, "There are four reasons that I don't want to hire you."
"Your voice is too unpleasant to hear. It tends to scare the babies."
"The way you look at me is not humble."
"You have a sharp and unapproachable look in your eyes."
"And the most important one, your appearance is not attracted to me. I do not like you, so I do not need to test you."
Her tone was calm and sharp, as if discussing an ordinary thing.
Chad asked, "Do you heard it all? Are you ready to leave?"
Lola had to turn around and leave, and when she reached the door, she suddenly looked back and asked with an affected smile, "Miss Lyra, are you feeling at ease?"
She didn't need Chad to yell at her and consciously went downstairs to leave.
Chad stood still, was confused for a second, and quickly apologized to Lyra, "I'm sorry. Next time I'll be more vigilant and won't bring in all the oddballs."
Lyra didn't care much and continued to take care of Molly who was in her arms.
The girl's words before she left suddenly occurred in her mind without warning, and then replayed over and over again.
Just now, Lola's last look ...
She suddenly realized something and looked cautiously at Chad, "Quick! Go after that girl just now and make sure to bring her back!"
"Okay, Lyra!"
Chad immediately became serious, turned his head and ran out.
Lyra, suddenly feeling unease, hurriedly called Malcolm who was working in his study.
"Rara?"
"Where's Spencer?"
Malcolm looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, "He's here. What's wrong?"
Lyra breathed a sigh of relief, "Nothing. Just keep busy."
She hung up the phone and gazed out the window.
Hopefully, she was overthinking it.
Fifteen minutes later, Chad returned.
"I can't find her. She walks very fast and disappears as soon as she goes out of Lyre Spiti. I have checked the surveillance. I can't see her as well. She knows all the dead zones of the cameras."
In the room, the atmosphere was cold.
Lyra pondered for a moment.
She knew to take the blind spot of the camera's view. Was it intentional, or unintentional?
"Which babysitting center does she come from? Go check her work file. Be careful and thorough. You must find her. I want to question her personally."
"Yes, rest assured."

At night, the two babies slept in the middle of the king-size bed, separating Lyra and Malcolm distantly on either side.
