The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 637

With those words, he swiftly turned and went out.

As Hertha watched his hurried figure receding, a bitter taste spread in her heart. It was a feeling of resentment and disappointment.

Sure, she had won over Georgia, but Alaric hadn't acknowledged a relationship with her. In the end, she was nothing more than a shield for him to reject Georgia.

"Don't beat yourself up. You were amazing just now. I wish I had your fierce spirit," Thalassa said, having witnessed the whole thing between Hertha and Georgia.

Thalassa had been ready to step in and help Hertha, but seeing how well Hertha handled the situation, she decided to simply observe, ready to jump in if needed.

Hertha truly was awesome. She didn't need anyone's help.

Thalassa felt invigorated just watching Hertha.

Startled from her thoughts, Hertha turned to Thalassa with her big and round eyes filled with melancholy, and asked, "Do you think Alaric would ever like me?"

"He didn’t reject you, did he?" Thalassa responded.

Hertha's eyes lit up at that, her spirits lifted. "You're right, he didn't reject me. That's the best start I could hope for! There's a chance he might accept me. Thalassa, you're my lucky charm, cheering me up."

In her joy, Hertha playfully pinched Thalassa's cheek.

Thalassa quickly removed Hertha's hand. "Good thing I didn't put on makeup, or you'd have smeared it all over!"

"You're already so beautiful without makeup. How can others live if you put it on?" Hertha joked.
