The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 282

Thalassa immediately said, "I can't take your kind offer. Tell Mr. Sinclair that I'd rather take the bus."

After saying this, she walked past David.

David stepped back to block her way. "Mr. Sinclair said if you defy orders, you pay the price."

Thalassa stopped in her tracks.

Even though Lysander wasn't in front of her, she still felt the pressure.

Refuse a favor and pay the price?

Was this bullying?

The key question was, was this favor because she finally accepted being kept, or was it a reward for her work?

Thalassa felt a sense of shame inside. She asked David, "I've only worked for two days. why is he giving me a car?"

"If people knew that Mr. Sinclair's secretary takes the bus to work every day, it would make him feel dishonored," David said calmly.

Giving the car to Thalassa was Mr. Sinclair's task for him, he had to complete it.

No matter what, he had to deliver the car to Thalassa and make her willing to accept it.

"Then I can take a taxi every day, right?" Thalassa said.

"Isn't taking a taxi essentially the same as taking the bus? Ms. Everhart, the car is a perk of the position. Even if it were someone else in this position, they would be treated the same. What are you fussing about?" David retorted.

"Are you serious?" Thalassa asked, half-believing.

"When have I ever lied?" David said with a smile.

Thalassa thought, "You've lied plenty of times. Weren't you just deceiving me yesterday? You said Charlotte and Lysander have some kind of relationship, but you didn't clarify what kind."

That's why she let Charlotte go to Lysander, but she was misunderstood to be trying to send another woman to seduce him so she could leave safely.
