The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 354

Thalassa followed Hertha a few steps before abruptly stopping. "Hold on."

Hertha turned back with a mix of surprise and anxiety in her eyes. "Don't you want to escape?"

Indeed, being held captive by Lysander was a unique experience. Many women aspired to be treated so specially by him, but few ever got the chance.

Thalassa didn't have the time to indulge in Hertha’s whimsical thoughts. She let go of Hertha’s hand, retraced her steps, and shut the door behind her.

Doing so would give the impression that she was still inside the room if the bodyguards returned. It would buy them some extra time to escape.

Quickly shutting the door behind her, Thalassa sprinted back to Hertha, grabbed her hand and they dashed into the elevator, pressing the button for the first floor and the close door button immediately after.

They feared the bodyguards would return and spot them.

Thankfully, the elevator doors closed in time, cutting off the view from outside.

Thalassa finally heaved a sigh of relief, turning to Hertha. "How did you manage to distract the bodyguards?"

The bodyguards around Lysander were no fools. Hertha was a single woman. Being able to divert two bodyguards and knock on her door was beyond comprehension for Thalassa.

A smirk formed on Hertha's lips. "I had help."

"Help? Who?" Thalassa asked, intrigued.

Hertha touched her nose, a telltale sign of mischief. "Alaric."

Thalassa was both surprised and bewildered. "You and Alaric? Wasn’t he continuously rejecting you the last time?"

"It's not what you think. It's a long story. I'll explain when we have the time," Hertha replied.

"Alright," Thalassa nodded.
