Even though the floor was carpeted, Thalassa fell down so hard that her knees still hurt like hell.
Lysander was taken aback.
Zephyr shot Thalassa a stern glance, noticing that she was kneeling and bent over with her
collar loosened.
He looked away as his face became even more serious.
Sybil was also taken aback for a moment, then cheerfully said, “You’re way too formal, why bow so dee
ply? Get up, get up.”
Sybil slowly rose to help Thalassa steady herself.
Thalassa regained her composure and noticed that her chest was exposed, so she quickly covered it w
ith her hand, feeling very embarrassed.
Lysander had told her before that as long as she didn’t bend over, nothing would be revealed.
She didn’t want to bend over, it was totally an accident.
Feeling awkward and embarrassed, she had no choice but to sit down next to Sybil.
Sybil, with her old hand holding hers, said kindly, “You and Lysander are dating, right?”
Thalassa was already embarrassed, and this question made her even more so. She didn’t know how to
respond.
She had only found out a few days ago that Lysander was the man she had been looking for for five ye
ars, and today Lysander said he was going to take her home to meet his parents.
He had never specified what their relationship was.
Thalassa hoped Lysander would help her out.
Lysander said, “Yes.”
After hearing his answer, Thalassa felt a wave of sweetness and warmth in her heart.
He actually admitted that she was his girlfriend.
Sybil gave Lysander a reproachful look, “I was asking Thalassa.”
Then she smiled at Thalassa, “You see, Lysander is afraid that I’ll give you a hard time. Don’t worry; we
’re all easy–
going people. Once you join our family, you’re family. You’ll be my very own granddaughter.”
Sybil was truly very kind and warm.
Thalassa felt a warmth well up inside her as she listened to her speak.
She maintained a gentle smile, saying. “You’re so kind, Sybil.”
“I’ll be happy for at least ten days with your nice words.” Sybil was delighted with Thalassa; she was all
smiles.
Then, Lysander handed the gift box to Sybil, “This is the best work from our top designer, I had one ma Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
de especially for you.”
“Oh? What kind of clothes are these? Let me see.” Sybil took the gift box from him, opened it, and took
out the clothes.
It was a red, traditional, long dress with gold embroidery. It was noble and classic, yet modern.
Sybil loved it at first sight.
“It’s beautiful, Lysander, you’ve put a lot of thought into this.”
Thalassa also saw the long dress and was attracted by the beautiful design.
Zephyr took a glance and mused, “After the last fashion design failure, how come there are still clothes
left?”
Last time, Zephyr enthusiastically attended a fashion show, only to fall into a plagiarism scandal.
He wanted to choose a piece of clothing for Sybil from the show, but it didn’t work out.
He was very angry then.
Lysander said, “Just like before, the Thorne Group has been acquired by us.”
Zephyr was momentarily speechless, completely unaware that Lysander would make such a big move.
Now that the Thorne Group had been acquired, their designs and staff all belonged to the Sinclair Grou
p.
He had made a big effort for this dress.
Sybil didn’t understand what they were discussing, knowing only that it was work–
related, so she wasn’t interested. Sybil tightly held T
