The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1009

Thalassa was shocked but flattered when Joshua initiated conversation with her. A bit flustered, she hurriedly responded politely, “Thank you, Mr. Joshua. But there’s no trouble at all.”

Lysander hadn't offered her a seat, and she knew better than to just plop down beside him without being asked.

“Mr. Joshua asked you to sit, so please, take a seat.” Lysander said.

Thalassa stood rooted to the spot, not immediately sitting, as if she was absent-minded.

Was Lysander truly inviting her to sit? Next to him, of all places?

“Thalassa, have a seat. Mr. Joshua is very easy going, so please help yourself.” Richard said, pulling out a chair next to Lysander and gesturing for her to sit.

Thalassa looked up and saw Joshua's friendly smile beaming back at her.

If she didn't sit down now, she'd appear rude.

So, she seated herself beside Lysander, slightly nervous.

A waiter nearby began pouring wine into their glasses, even filling Thalassa's glass halfway with red wine. Thalassa nodded and smiled at the waiter to show her appreciation.

Meanwhile, Lysander, Richard, and Joshua didn't give the waiter a second glance as their glasses were filled.

Once their glasses were attended to, Joshua lifted his and looked at Lysander with a smile. “Aren't you going to introduce us to the lovely lady by your side?”

Hearing Joshua prompt Lysander for an introduction, Thalassa's heart skipped a beat. She averted her gaze and looked to Lysander's profile, feeling uneasy and unsure about how he would present her.
