The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 88

Thalassa got startled, instantly pushing Lysander away and sliding off him. She tidied up her clothes while her face was full of embarrassment, "Mr. Sinclair, I'll come and clean up later; I don't want to disturb your meal."

She hurriedly left, running out of the office even before Faye.

Faye shot Alaric an annoyed look; he sure loved watching a good show.

Feeling embarrassed yet unwilling, she also left the office.

Alaric's smile was ambiguous and amusing. He placed the lunch box on the office desk, saying to Lysander, "Lysander, why do I feel like I'm the one disturbing your meal?"

Lysander shot him a chilly look, "You're quite self-aware."

Alaric's laughter grew louder; he leaned in closer and said, "How about I call them back?"

Lysander's gaze could kill, "Dr. Everest's anesthesia is getting less and less effective; I need to import some from abroad, something that can shut someone up for half a year."

Alaric immediately shut up, "I’ll keep my mouth shut. A man needs food, so hurry up and eat."

Speaking about Lysander's personal affairs came with a price.

Alaric had learned his lesson and didn't want to be anesthetized again.

After swiftly exiting the CEO's office, Thalassa was about to take the elevator to the janitorial break room.

"Thalassa!" Faye called out to her.

The elevator just arrived, and Thalassa walked in after finishing her sentence. The elevator doors closed, and it went down.

Faye was so angry that her face became distorted. Thalassa actually said she wasn't even as good as a little cleaner!

She was just a little cleaner, so how dare she have the audacity to talk back?!

Faye's resentment and anger towards Thalassa deepened.

She huffed and turned back to the office.

Thalassa stayed in the janitorial break room all afternoon, too afraid to go clean Lysander's office in case she bumped into him and felt awkward.
