The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 401

With a quick stride, Fitch approached her, his voice raised just enough to ensure she heard him clearly, "Ms. Everhart, our chauffeur will be here soon. Let himHe will drive you to the office."

A wave of relief washed over Thalassa Everhart as she checked her phone. It was almost ten.

She wasn't familiar with the area. Taking the bus could take forever, especially if she got lost. A car ride would save time and spare her from another lecture from Lysander Sinclair about tardiness.

Shortly after, the chauffeur drove up and Thalassa got into the car. They set off towards the Sinclair Group.

In the CEO's office, Zephyr arrived, his presence formidable and serious as he took a seat on the plush couch in the lounge area.

Lysander sat across from him, pouring him a cup of English breakfast tea.

"Your secretary sure knows how to make an entrance. You're already at work and she's nowhere to be seen. Even something as trivial as pouring tea, you have to do it yourself," Zephyr's hawk-like gaze was filled with disapproval and annoyance as he glanced at Lysander.

His words were a clear dig at Thalassa.

Lysander, of course, caught on. He responded, "The Sinclair Group provides decent employee benefits, including sick leave within reasonable limits."

"She seems to enjoy her sick leave every other day," Zephyr retorted sourly.

He took a sip of his tea, then and placed the cup on the coffee table, continuing,. "You bought Leopold's company just to transfer Thalassa back as your secretary. Lysander, you never used to mix business with personal matters before."

"Three months isn't up yet," Lysander put down the teapot, his deep gaze lifting to meet Zephyr's.

"Grandpa, surely you haven't forgotten our verbal agreement?" Lysander added.

Zephyr paused, his breath hitching.

They had agreed to give Thalassa three months to prove her character. If she turned out to be another a woman like Belinda Sinclair, Lysander would cut ties with her without hesitation.

But if she wasn't...

Zephyr wouldn't interfere with Lysander and Thalassa's relationship.

During this time, Zephyr had been honoring their agreement. But after hearing from Leopold Sinclair about Thalassa's manipulative tactics, he couldn't sit still.
