Chapter 260

yender shot him a cold glance without offering a word He another cigaretin the orangend ember tuming between his fingertips Thalassa mickly left the private room, her enriety slowly fading She felt like a ton of bricks was lifted off her shoulders She was just here for pan–ame work, but unexpectedly she became Lysander’s woman!

Lifesize threw Davits at her She decided to leave Sapphim Skyline Zola stopped her. “Thalassa are you leaving?”

Thaisesa paused and said, “Yes”

“Aren’t you interested in your salary? Or have you hit the jackpot and now look down on this pay?” Zol a asked with a teasing smile.

Thalassa responded, “Who said I hit the jackpot? If I had, would I still be here waiting tables? Please se ttle my wages, and I need to get home” She just wanted to get away from Lysander as fast as possible Fair enough. It’s late and it’s not safe for a girl to be out. Il settle your pay, and you better head home” Z ola headed to the cash register Thalassa followed, noticing the constant smile on Zola’s face.

She asked, “Zola, you called me in for part–time work because those rich kids showed up, right?”

Zola maintained her smile, looking at her with experienced, thoughtful yet gentle eyes. “Don’t say that I would’ve called you in no matter who appeared. Look at you You are so competent, and you sold two b ottles of wine in just three hours. Some waitresses who have been working here for months can’t even hit your sales”

In reality, Zola called Thalassa in because she saw those rich men coming in, including Lysander and A laric.

Lysander had texted her before, asking her not to make Thalassa do anything inappropriate.

She could tell Lysander had a soft spot for Thalassa.

Lysander hadn’t visited Sapphire Skyline in a long time.

Now that Lysander was finally here, naturally Zola would do her best to please him.

And her bargaining chip was Thalassa!

It turned out that her guess was correct.

“Those two bottles of wine Thalassa recalled She had smashed them on the floor. The bottles shattere d, and the wine spilled everywhere.

It was a close call then. If she hadn’t smashed the bottles, they would’ve hit Lysander in the face.

She could be in danger right now.

“Mr. Falconer has already paid. You’ve worked for three hours today, and the part–

time fee is a hundred dollars. Plus your commission from the drinks, it totals to two thousand two hundred dollars. I’ll transfer the money to your bank account right now” Zola said, not waiting for her to explain.

She took out her phone and made the transfer.

Thalassa’s phone in her pocket vibrated almost instantly.

Thalassa checked her phone. Indeed, she received the money.

This money didn’t come easily.

Although Zola didn’t explicitly say it, Thalassa could tell from her words that Zola had called her in beca use Lysander was there.

She was like a cash cow Zola could utilize to please Lysander Business people were cunning and self–interested.

In the workplace, the basic rule of survival was to see the truth but not to expose it Thalassa waved at Zola and said, “Zola, I’m leaving”

“Okay, take care, and we’d love to see you again,” Zola responded warmly.

Thalassa thought, “With the way you treat me, I’d be a fool if I came back.”

As she stepped out of Sapphire Skyline and was about to hail a cab, a black Rolls–

Royce stopped beside her. The window rolled down, revealing Lysander’s handsome face. He said, “G et in.”

Thalassa replied nervously, “I can get a cab home myself. No need to trouble you”

“Do I need to get out and invite you in?” Lysander asked.
