The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1484

"Fine, that jerk made his bed, now he can lie in it! Thalassa, are you free right now? Why don't you come over to my place? We could really use a good chat." Hertha was quick to shift gears, cursing Lysander under her breath and no longer trying to push Thalassa towards him.

Knowing that Thalassa was now on her own, Hertha was aware that solitude could lead to overthinking. So she invited Thalassa over, knowing that a lively atmosphere could help shake off the blues.

"Sure, I'll be there soon." After hanging up the phone, Thalassa got moving.

Driving her car, Thalassa arrived at the Gulfstream Community.

As she approached Hertha's building, she spotted a tall, devilishly handsome man lingering outside. Dressed in black slacks and a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his lean arms added to his allure.

It was Alaric!

Seeing him, Thalassa's internal alarm bells went off.

Alaric saw Thalassa first, his eyes lighting up as he approached her. "Thalassa, you're here to see Hertha, right?"

Meeting Alaric's smirking gaze, Thalassa tensed up. "It's Tuesday, shouldn't you be at work?"

He was loitering outside Hertha's building of all places! He couldn't possibly be here to see Hertha, could he?

"I took the day off." Alaric's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "You lead the way, I'll follow."

Without revealing his intentions, he positioned himself behind Thalassa.
