The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 649

Lysander had never shown such interest in any woman before.

Thalassa was indeed mad at Ethan for using her, but his sincere apology somewhat mitigated her anger.

Without another word, she turned and left the office.

Upon her return to the secretary's office, Betty immediately approached her, asking, "So, what did Mr. Ethan say to you?"

Still upset, Thalassa began to realize how much of a scoundrel Ethan was, and his friend Lysander was no better.

None of them are good people.

Angrily, she retorted, "What does it matter what he said about me? I hope all his future business deals fall through, his coffee's always too hot, and he trips even on flat ground."

Betty was speechless.

She admired Thalassa for having the courage to curse their boss and silently gave her a thumbs-up.

"Achoo!" Ethan, who was working in his office, suddenly sneezed.

"Am I catching a cold, or am I about to get a fever?" He wondered while rubbing his nose. He felt his forehead and found no fever. "Someone must be cursing me."

Ethan shook his head with a chuckle after thinking of who it could be.

...

In the afternoon, it was time to clock out.

When Thalassa returned home and opened the door, she found a figure sitting on her couch.

At first, she was startled. Her body was on high alert, thinking a stranger had entered her home.

But when the person turned around, she saw that it was Evelyn. Thalassa's eyes lit up with joy. "Mom, you're back!"

She quickly went over to sit by Evelyn on the couch, looking at her excitedly and worriedly.

Evelyn looked a bit tired, but overall, she was in good spirits.

What was going on?

Had Captain Payne secretly investigated again?

But why would he suddenly meddle in?

Could it have been Lysander?

Did Lysander ask Captain Payne to investigate?

It wasn’t impossible. Last night, Lysander met with Captain Payne, and they even had a chat in the break room.

Thalassa’s hand holding the fork stiffened, and there was a strange feeling in her heart.

“Stop spacing out and eat.” Evelyn added more food to Thalassa’s plate. “When can we go see the kids? I miss them.”

The longing in Evelyn’s voice was unmistakable.
