The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 645

Thalassa could feel her entire body tense up under his watchful gaze, making every pore on her skin tightened with nervousness.

“Ye… yes!” She stuttered in response, feeling overwhelmed by his intimidating presence.

Lysander’s eyes were cold and sharp, and his gaze was penetrating. He rose from his seat, circling his desk, to approach her.

His powerful aura was like a chilling wind, causing her to instinctively recoil in fear as his steps continued to close in on her.

Thalassa took a few quick steps backward, causing her back to hit the wall.

Lysander's long arm reached out to her. However, his palm quickly brushed past her ear as his hand landed on the wall next to her face. His firm, muscular chest pinned her between him and the wall.

His gaze was icy and sharp. "Do you want the Crawley Group to make the shipment, or not?"

His handsome face had a stern expression, and his eyes were deep and unreadable, holding her under his intense scrutiny.

The massive pressure he exuded made it hard for Thalassa to breathe. She couldn't read his thoughts, nor did she dare answer hastily.

His question seemed like a trap.

No matter how she answered, it didn't seem like she could give the right response.

Thalassa hesitated. Then suddenly, she felt her chin being lifted by his hand. His fingers had a rough callus that lightly grazed her skin, sparking a trail of heat on her tender face.

The sensation made her feel a warmth spreading through her heart, making her face heat up.

"No answer? Do you want me to find out what you're thinking myself?" Lysander's voice was low and cold, and his gaze was frosty and filled with desire.

After he spoke, Thalassa felt a buzzing in her head. All her alarm bells were ringing. She quickly moved his hand away, saying anxiously, "I'll answer, okay?"

"As an employee of the Crawley Group, of course, I hope we can make the shipment. That way, the Crawley Group can fulfill the contract on time and won't have to pay any penalties."

"Is that so? If the shipment is not made, Leopold will get the penalty payment. Isn't that better? He wouldn't even need to operate a company to make money." Lysander said as he gazed at her deeply.

Thalassa could feel her heart pounding wildly. Her mind was too panicked to think clearly. "The penalty is just a small amount. Once it's used up, there's nothing left. But it's different if the company is up and running. Not only can we earn money, it's also a career."
