Thea Lynch and Foreman Chandler exchanged glances, with the latter looking innocent. He really saw Ian Preston and the others leave!
Who knew they'd pull a surprise return.
Thea could guess that Ian's feint was intentional. Luckily, she managed to appear calm on the surface, her face unchanged: "Is there something you need from me?"
The deputy general manager quickly smoothed things over, "Foreman Lynch must have just returned. This is Ian Preston from LX Capital. Since Foreman Lynch has some time, why not show Ian around?"
After saying that, the deputy manager desperately signaled to Thea Lynch with exaggerated winks, afraid that she might not see them if he wasn't obvious enough.
In fact, even if Thea saw it, she would pretend she hadn't. She gave him no face, with her hands tucked into her lab coat pockets, a lock of hair slipping from her shoulder down to her chest as she turned her head.
