Chapter 803
She stood a short distance from the car, hesitant to approach.
Just then, the car window rolled down, revealing Lysander’s strikingly handsome face.
He was sitting in the driver’s seat, his long hands gripping the steering wheel as he looked at her. “Get in.”
Thalassa hesitated for a moment before quickly moving to the car, pulling the door open and climbing in.
She settled into the back seat, and immediately noticed three gift boxes on the seat beside her. She recognized them!
Looking closer, she realized they were the gifts she bought for Leopold.
There was no mistaking it.
Even if Lysander had bought identical ones, it was unlikely that all three boxes would be the same. What were the odds?
Had Lysander been to Leopold’s hospital room and taken the gifts?
Why would he do that?
Confused and sensing something was off, Thalassa didn’t dare to question it. She simply held her breath and slowed her breathing.
Lysander started the car and drove off.
The car drove along the smooth, asphalt road. The atmosphere inside was tense.
Thalassa was so nervous that she could barely breathe.
“You visited Leopold today?” Lysander’s deep voice suddenly broke the silence, filling the car and making the space seem even smaller.
Thalassa’s heart pounded as she sat up straight. She didn’t deny it. “Yes, I went with Mr. Ethan. He said it was work-related, so I couldn’t refuse.”
“You personally picked out the gifts. How thoughtful.” Lysander’s voice was low, seemingly no different from his usual tone. But his intrinsic authority set Thalassa’s heart racing.
She quickly replied, “Mr. Ethan asked me to choose the gifts. I just picked up three random items from the supermarket. It was a work assignment. I had no choice.”
She had anticipated Lysander’s anger and accusations if he found out she had visited Leopold. So, when she went with Ethan, she had prepared her
excuse.
What she said was true. Ethan had indeed told her to do so.
The shopping and the visit to Leopold were all part of her job. There were no personal feelings involved.
Lysander glanced at her in the rear-view mirror. She was sitting up straight, her face pale and clearly frightened.,
His eyes darkened. “Don’t see him again.”
Lysander’s words were final. He wasn’t discussing it with her, but ordering her.
