Chapter 179
Daniel spoke with a mix of politeness and respect, ‘Zephyr, sorry to bug ya at this ungodly hour”
“Clearly, you must have something big up your sleeve to hit me up this late” Zephyr replied.
Knowing Zephyr’s straight–shooter style, Daniel cut to the chase, “I wouldn’t have disturbed you if it
wasn’t for my daughter, Faye. She’s been working as Mr. Sinclair’s personal secretary, and she goofed
up a bit. Mr. Sinclair had her thrown in the slammer, I’ve asked around, and they’re saying she’s looking
at a five year sentence.”
“What?” Zephyr was both stem and shocked after hearing this.
Faye, this little lady, once decided to join the army with Lysander and held up under the tough
conditions for three whole years!
Later, she retired with Lysander and insisted on becoming his personal secretary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZephyr asked her why she wanted to stick with Lysander.
Young Faye, with a determined look in her eyes and no intention of hiding her feelings, said, “I have a
thing for Mr. Sinclair. I know he’s not into me now, but I want to fight for my shot with him!”
At that time, Zephyr was still holding onto a verbal agreernent he made with the former chairman of the
Ravensong Group about getting Lysander and Charlotte married.
So he turned down Faye’s request and asked her to return to the Brennan Group.
By then, Lysander was already 23 and Charlotte was of age. Zephyr even called the chairman of the
Ravensong Group to ask if he still remembered their spoken agreement about the engagement.
The chairman of the Ravensong Group seemed clueless and said that he had too many conversations
and couldn’t remember every detail.
This basically meant that their verbal agreement was just a joke, and the chairman of the Ravensong
Group didn’t take it seriously and had no intention of marrying Charlotte off to Lysander.
Zephyr got the picture of the Ravensong Group’s attitude.
He thought Faye would give up on being Lysander’s secretary after being turned down.
But to his surprise, she was stubborn as a mule and kept pestering Zephyr for the job.
Zephyr was moved by her determination, and upon understanding the Ravensong Group’s attitude, he
figured since Lysander had no engagement tying him down, there was nothing wrong with giving Faye
a chance to pursue her feelings.
So, Zephyr agreed to Faye’s request and let her be Lysander’s personal secretary
And she had been at it for seven long years.
Faye wasn’t able to win Lysander over, and he had always seen her as just a friend, never showing any
romantic interest in her.
Zephyr started to wonder if there was something off about Lysander’s orientation.
A few days ago, Charlotte from the Ravensong Group paid a special visit and told Zephyr that she’d

and waiting for Lysander to come and marry her. She was hoping to make good on that old verbal
promise and tie the knot with Lysander.
Zephyr was already worried about Lysander’s love life and thought that Faye might not be able to win
him over, but maybe sweet Charlotte could catch his eye. If not, she was willing to marry him, and they
could just get married and start a family.
So, Zephyr let bygones be bygones and renewed the marriage agreement between the Sinclair and
Ravensong families, asking Lysander to come back and meet Charlotte.
But he didn’t see it coming that Charlotte was playing him. She already had a few boyfriends.
On the other hand, Faye, as Lysander’s personal secretary, was always careful, competent, and never
screwed up.
So what did she do to make Lysander have her thrown in jail?
“What’s the real deal here? Spill it.” Zephyr demanded, as his mind was lost in
