Chapter 10

“Babe, don’t be pissed. You’re so beautiful and you’re Mr. Sinclair’s personal secretary You clearly have the advantage. I’m sure one day you’ll win Mr. Sinclair’s heart and become his woman. If you age faster because of anger and lose your advantage, that’ll be a real bummer.”

Isabella spoke gently, a smile on her face, pretending to care about Faye.

In reality, Isabella was mocking her.

Faye had worked beside Lysander for many years, being his secretary, but he never gave her a second glance. No matter how hard she tried, she probably wouldn’t win Lysander’s affection.

Why would Lysander prefer Thalassa, a one–night stand, over her?

Years ago, isabella was going to find Leopold at Thalassa’s house, but accidentally overheard Faye’s call to Lysander. Faye lied to Lysander that Thalassa was dead, using the fact that Thalassa’s house had been washed away by heavy rain.

When Faye found out Isabella had eavesdropped, she bribed her to keep quiet. Not wanting Thalassa to become a lady of leisure, Isabella agreed to Faye’s request and even helped her cover up the truth.

In order to make things appear real, she even persuaded Thalassa’s mother, Evelyn, to hold a funeral for the pig that was killed that night. Evelyn had raised the sow like a precious baby, and surprisingly, she agreed to the suggestion and organized a funeral for the pig. The whole village ended up attending the pig’s funeral, causing quite a commotion.

Isabella knew that Faye didn’t want Lysander to find Thalassa because she liked Lysander and didn’t want other women to get near him. Using this weakness, Isabella had been sponging off Faye for the past five years.
