The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 249

She did come up with the idea of quitting, but her financial situation simply didn't allow for it.

To quit, she'd have to cough up a whopping twenty grand for breach of contract, and she had no idea where she was gonna get that kind of dough.

So, she was racking her brain trying to figure out how to get Leopold to give her the boot.

As Thalassa was mulling over her options, a call from David jolted her back to reality. "Ms. Everhart, could you bring two cups of coffee to the office?"

"Sure thing," she said, immediately switching into work mode.

There was a coffee machine right in the secretarial office.

Although she wasn't a regular coffee drinker, she had received specific training on how to brew coffee back in school.

Back in the day, Thalassa had been a real whiz at making coffee.

And even five years down the line, her coffee-making skills were still as slick as ever.

Before long, Thalassa had brewed two steaming cups of coffee and delivered them to the CEO's office.

Lysander and Leopold were sitting at a low table, engrossed in a work discussion.

Usually, Leopold exuded an air of grace and elegance.

But when he was sitting next to Lysander, he was clearly outshone.

The intimidating aura and dignity radiating from Lysander made everything else seem bland in comparison.

Even Leopold seemed plain and unremarkable next to him.

Holding her breath, Thalassa carefully carried the coffee over. She placed one cup in front of Lysander and the other in front of Leopold, and then she politely said, "Here's your coffee, Mr. Sinclair, and Mr. Sinclair."

Then she was about to leave.

"Thalassa, sit down. We're discussing something that concerns you," Leopold called after her.

Something that concerned her?

Thalassa was taken aback. She hesitated for a moment, then took a seat nearby, her hands resting politely in her lap.

Lysander and Leopold sat face-to-face, with Thalassa seated across from them on the other side of the square table.
