Evelyn was lost in thought when the bathroom door swung open behind her.
She quickly tucked the bank card into her pocket and casually settled back down on the couch.
"Mom, if you're done eating, you should go take a shower and get some rest." Thalassa suggested as she toweled off her damp hair as she made her way towards the dining table to clean up.
Evelyn stopped her. "Thalassa, I haven't seen the kids in a couple of days. I miss them. I want to visit them."
"Tomorrow, Mom. It's late now, and they're already asleep. You can pick them up from kindergarten tomorrow."
Evelyn nodded, but her mind was clearly elsewhere. "Alright, I understand."
The next morning, Thalassa awoke to find Evelyn still in bed. After whipping up some breakfast and grabbing a quick bite, she left for work.
No sooner had Thalassa left than Evelyn emerged from her room, clutching the bank card with a serious and hesitant expression.
Thalassa arrived at Crawley Electronics and walked into her office, inadvertently bumping into Anna, who was carrying a box.
After a couple of awkward shuffle steps of trying to let each other pass, they both stopped and looked at each other face-to-face.
Thalassa noticed Anna's box filled with her belongings and asked, "Anna, what's with the box? Are you getting a promotion?"
Was she moving to a new office?
Anna chuckled softly, her tone mocking as she replied, "You know, women should never rely on their looks to get by. Otherwise, they'll be in for a nasty surprise. Mr. Ethan won't take you seriously."
With a dazzlingly fake smile, Anna sidestepped Thalassa and left the office.
Anna's remark was clearly targeted at her, leaving Thalassa feeling a distinct tension in the air. Before she could respond, however, Anna had already walked away.
After walking into the office, Thalassa discovered that Anna's desk had been cleared out.
Betty was propped up against her own desk with her arms crossed, watching the spectacle with a cool gaze.
"Betty, where's Anna going?" Thalassa asked, both curious and confused.
