Chapter 267
Thalassa kept her smile steady, answering, “Yes.”
Charlotte couldn’t help but give her a once-over from head to toe. Then she let out a disdainful
“hmmph,” and strut off in her high heels towards Lysander’s office.
Thalassa found Charlotte’s arrogance distasteful, but as this woman was Lysander’s friend, she kept
her smile and followed suit.
“Go back to your secretary’s den. You don’t need to follow me. I have some personal matters to discuss
with Lysander,” Charlotte threw over her shoulder, glancing back at Thalassa with contempt before
knocking on the door.
Thalassa didn’t respond, but retreated back to her own office.
If it wasn’t for work, she wouldn’t dream of playing tag-along with Charlotte. She had zero interest in
whatever private matter Charlotte was discussing with Lysander.
Inside his office, Lysander was engrossed in a contract. Thinking it was Thalassa at the door, he didn’t

Charlotte sauntered in, her voice turning flirtatious. “Lysander, you’ve been playing hard to get since
our last fleeting encounter. I’ve been losing sleep over you.”
She made her way to his desk. Leaning over it with a coy expression, she fluttered her eyelashes at
him.
Lysander looked up at the sound of her grating voice. Charlotte looked vulnerable, her gaze fixed on
him.
He frowned. “I thought I made myself clear last time. Ms. Ravensong, you shouldn’t be here.”
“Last time?” Charlotte recalled Lysander telling her he already had a girlfriend.
She felt defeated then and left.
But this time was different. She had uncovered the truth. A cunning woman had bewitched Lysander.
Moreover, she now had Zephyr’s backing, who encouraged her to pursue Lysander to become the
future Mrs. Sinclair.
Upon learning that Zephyr had investigated her past relationships, she immediately cleared the air and
apologized to him.
She had indeed dated before, but that was all in the past. Her recent ex-boyfriend wouldn’t leave her
alone, but she hadn’t given him any hope.
To prove her genuine feelings for Lysander, she called her ex in front of Zephyr, severing all ties and
asking him to quit bothering her.
Zephyr got wind that Thalassa had returned to Lysander’s side as his secretary, just two days after
leaving the Sinclair Group. And it was Lysander who personally asked her
back.
Zephyr smelled trouble.
He was worried that Lysander had been ensnared by Thalassa, that she was using him, jeopardizing
the Sinclair family’s century-old legacy.
Thalassa had shown her ambitious side before. She coveted shares in the Sinclair Group!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeeping such a woman by Lysander’s side was a recipe for disaster.
As the Ravensong’s heiress, Charlotte might have had love affairs, but she was single now. It was only
right for her to pursue Lysander, and hopefully, wake him from Thalassa’s spell.
If Charlotte and Lysander ended up together, it would be ideal.
Zephyr forgave Charlotte’s previous lie about not having a boyfriend.
He admitted that he had arranged a marriage between Lysander and Charlotte, and he supported her
pursuit of Lysander.
With Zephyr’s backing, Charlotte became bolder.
She immediately went to the Sinclair Group to find Lysander.
Charlotte’s smile froze briefly, then she said with beaming confidence, “Lysander, we’ve been betrothed
since childhood. I don’t care about what you said last time. I’ll make you fall for me.”
At the doorway. Thalassa was holding two cups of coffee, knocking on the door.
She saw Charlotte leaning over the desk, almost falling into Lysander’s arms.
Thalassa caught her breath and quickly turned around, “Sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt.”
“Ms. Everhart, bring the coffee in.” Lysander’s icy voice echoed.
