The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 72

"Hertha, that's the back seat. You're driving." Thalassa pointed out.

"Oh, right." Hertha seemed a bit out of it. She quickly shut the back door and slid into the driver's seat.

Thalassa could only sigh at her friend's state of mind as she climbed into the car. Hertha started the engine, and they were off.

As they cruised down the road, Hertha couldn't help but picture Alaric's charming face.

The first time she saw him, her heart raced. The second time, she was a bundle of nerves.

She had no idea what was wrong with her.

He'd already deleted her contact. Clearly, he wasn't interested in her.

So, what was she still hoping for?

But she just couldn't get him out of her mind.

"Hertha, red light ahead! Stop!" Thalassa warned her urgently.

The traffic light had turned red, but Hertha just kept on driving, not slowing down.

After hearing Thalassa's warning, Hertha quickly hit the brakes.

"BANG!"
