The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 440

Hertha glanced at Thalassa in a sudden panic, pulling faces and flailing her arms about, completely losing her composure.

The sudden intrusion had caught them off guard, leaving them in a flurry of confusion.

Thalassa rushed towards the door and was intended to leave.

That’s when Hertha heard Alaric's voice over the phone, "Open up!"

Open up?

They were already at the door?

Thalassa stopped dead in her tracks just as she reached the door.

She stared wide-eyed at the door, behind which stood Lysander.

She was just a doorstep away from him.

The thought made Thalassa's heart pound wildly. She hurried back into the room.

Hertha paced around in distress for a moment. When she saw Thalassa scuttle into the room, she quickly grabbed the phone, "I've just woken up and I'm getting dressed. Wait a moment, I'll be ready soon."

With that, she hung up and followed Thalassa into the room.

The two of them jostled at the doorway, taking a great effort to squeeze into the room.

Thalassa was preparing to hide in a closet, but found that Hertha had beat her to it, pulling it open and slipping inside.

Thalassa looked baffled. "Hertha, why are you hiding? This is your house and you should be welcoming your guests." She said.

Hertha blinked and suddenly realized something, "Oh, right, why am I hiding?"

Her subconscious made her believe this was Thalassa's home and that the intimidating Lysander should be Thalassa's problem to deal with.
