She didn't dare look back.
It was only her and Lysander in the office. Who else could have pressed the button and opened the door?
Once she stepped out of the office, the glass door closed behind her.
She glanced back instinctively, but was met with her sheer reflection from the glass door. She couldn’t see anything inside.
So, it was a one-way glass. From inside, one could see the outside, but from outside, nothing could be seen inside.
No wonder Lysander wasn't bothered about being seen. She was worried about nothing.
Still, despite the false alarm, Thalassa didn't dare linger and briskly walked away.
A little while after Thalassa had left, David arrived. He rang the doorbell, and the door was promptly opened.
Upon entering and finding no trace of Thalassa, he looked slightly puzzled but didn't ask any questions.
“Mr. Sinclair, we just received word from Captain Payne. They've lifted fingerprints from Sybil's clothing and compared them with Evelyn's. They don't match.” He reported while standing by Lysander’s desk.
In other words, Evelyn never touched Grandma Sybil, let alone pushed her.
Lysander lifted his gaze from the documents in front of him and looked at David as he responded with a low "Mm-hmm."
David nodded, then exited the office.
Thalassa took a cab back to the Crawley Group, first returning to the secretary's office.
As soon as she arrived, Betty couldn't wait to ask her about how her mission went. “How did it go? Did you complete the task?”
Thalassa shook her head.
Betty patted her shoulder. “Don’t lose hope. Try a few more times; you might just succeed.”
Thalassa was startled.
She had barely made it out alive from her first visit. How could she muster the strength to try a few more times?
