Chapter 753

Author: Light Breeze
Men understood men.

One look, and Matthias knew exactly what was happening—Landon had his eye on Thalia.

Matthias liked Thalia well enough himself, but in his world, power and connections always came first. She was just a fling. Once the fun ended, she'd go back to being another name, another face.

After weighing his options, Matthias made his decision. He smiled. "So, she's an old classmate of Mr. Ziegler's? Well then, if you haven't seen each other in years, you should catch up. We won't interrupt."

Those around them were stunned by Matthias's sudden generosity.

What a magnanimous gesture, handing over everything he'd prepared straight to Landon.

Matthias wasn't a fool. He knew Landon wouldn't let him walk away empty-handed.

Women? He could always find more. But business opportunities with someone like Landon? Rare. And beautiful women? The club had plenty.

Amid murmurs of surprise and awkward glances, the room emptied.

In the end, only Landon and Thalia remained.

  • Leaving You Bereft   Chapter 772

    Thalia was basically there to shake up the whole workplace. And in the end, she even became the deputy director.Amethyst, worn out from all the extra work afterward, got two raises.Amid a chorus of sharp inhales, Landon kept his arm around Thalia as they were surrounded and escorted out.As Thalia walked past, Samantha dug her nails into her palms, jealousy and rage bubbling so hot she thought she might lose it. If it weren't for Jayson standing nearby, she'd tear that fake innocent act right off this bitch.Thalia never said a word about such a powerful background. Meanwhile, she'd gotten herself into such trouble.But anger didn't change anything.Some people were just born lucky.…A few minutes later, Landon brought Thalia up to the top floor, as there was no way she could just walk out looking like that.The top-floor office was about 1,300 square feet. He pushed open the door to the lounge, which was another 860 square feet or so, complete with a big bed, walk-in close

    For someone like Landon, how could he not figure out what had happened by just one glance? He turned his head and glanced at Leslie. "You didn't tell them Thalia is my girlfriend."The moment those words came out, everyone froze.Cold sweat slid down Amethyst's forehead. She hadn't expected Thalia to be Landon's girlfriend, but thinking about it, it wasn't all that surprising. Thalia was drop-dead gorgeous, and she carried an air of elegance.So, she was Landon's girlfriend.While Amethyst was still wondering how to respond, Landon asked again, "Who told her to do this?"Samantha was on the verge of tears. She pointed at Amethyst. "She did."How could he believe that? He looked straight at Amethyst. "Get Mr. Montclair over here. Tell him it's Leslie who asked to see him instead of me."Amethyst stiffened. She knew some big personnel changes were coming. She glanced at Samantha, who looked like she was about to cry.Samantha tried to grab Landon's sleeve to plead her case, but L

    When the woman got angry, Thalia raised her hand and slapped her hard.She knew this would get her iced out, but so what?In the worst case, she'd find another job.The woman clutched her face and stared at Thalia in disbelief. She stomped her foot. "Do you know who I am? I'm Mr. Montclair's daughter."Jayson Montclair was the project manager and a big name in the branch office, so naturally, Samantha Montclair was used to throwing her weight around.She was about to hit back when a stern voice called from outside the restroom door, "What's going on in there?"The women inside scattered instantly.After all, they were all connected.Only Thalia stayed put, standing there while Amethyst lit into her with sharp, ugly words. "You think just because you and Leslie have that kind of relationship, you can do whatever you want here?"Let me tell you, there's always someone higher up. If Samantha goes and complains about you, I can't protect you. You're on your own."Thalia's lips mo

    Thalia nodded and sat down.Her fingers brushed across the clean desk as she took in the bright, spacious office. It was nothing like the club. Everything felt open and full of light here. She cherished the chance to be in a place like this.She lightly tapped the company-issued laptop in front of her. She knew her way around a laptop, but she wasn't exactly skilled, so before being given any tasks, she opened it and began clumsily practicing her typing. She had no idea how many eyes were on her, nor did she realize just how much malice could hide between women in the workplace.At 10:00 am, it was the company's scheduled break time.Some colleagues called her over to join them in the small lounge. The women all seemed friendly, and she couldn't help but feel grateful. Holding a small pastry, she listened to them talk about office gossip. Everything felt so new to her.Landon had brought her into an entirely new world, and she thought that with hard work, she could become an excel

    The next day, Thalia went with Landon to Nebula Group's branch office.Since it was a workday, she dressed more formally than usual.In the apartment's walk-in closet, she stood in front of the mirror, checking herself over. She'd changed into a white skirt suit with a matching overcoat. It looked quite nice, and since it was her first time wearing business attire, she couldn't help admiring herself for a moment.She turned to look at Landon.He was immaculately dressed, lounging on the couch, reading documents. Noticing her gaze, he looked up.She asked softly, "Do I look okay?"He glanced at her, his brows drawing together, thinking she looked gorgeous.Reaching out, he caught her wrist and pulled her toward him. "Did you buy this just for today?" he asked in a low voice.She nodded. "I bought it online."The whole outfit had cost her around 200 dollars. She didn't go overboard now that she was with him, but she also couldn't wear something that looked too cheap. The style a

    Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Landon and Thalia stared at each other in silence.After a long moment, Landon said softly, "Give me your phone."Thalia was confused and handed it over like she was on autopilot.He took it and used his long fingers to swipe it a few times until he found Matthias's number, saved in her contacts as "Ford the Meathead". He glanced at her, then deleted it.When he handed the phone back, he simply said, "Don't contact him again."She understood that she belonged to him now. It felt like another hard slap across her face.All the trust and closeness she thought they had built, the little home she longed for, was shattered in a single move.She and Landon were worlds apart. But she didn't have the courage or the right to leave him. Not after she had taken Matthias' 100 thousand dollars to save her life, not after accepting the place he gave her and the job he arranged.Now, she was just like his kept woman—his caged songbird.She just stood th
