The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 731

Thalassa’s cheeks turned a vibrant shade of pink. "Don't get the wrong idea. I was just up late at night, thinking."

"Why the blush then?" Betty’s eyes were focused on Thalassa.

Thalassa avoided her gaze. "Am I? I don't see any blush."

"Anyway, you seem quite cheerful today. Did you score big on the business trip with Mr. Ethan yesterday?" Thalassa skillfully steered the conversation away, hoping to avoid Betty’s prying questions.

Upon hearing this, Betty's smile deepened. “Mr. Ethan and I had dinner together last night. He mentioned that the Sinclair Group agreed to collaborate with us thanks to you. Thalassa, do you know someone at the Sinclair Group?”

Thalassa got it. Betty’s glowing face and incessant smiling made sense now. Thalassa took a sip of her coffee and calmly answered her. "Didn’t we discuss this? Mr. Ethan knows the president of the Sinclair Group."

"Thalassa, quit being modest. Mr. Ethan credited you for the deal. This time, Leopold wants to wholesale more smartphones from us. They specifically asked for the same factory as the last time, which means we have to collaborate with the Sinclair Group again and negotiate a new contract. However, this time, Mr. Ethan gave me the assignment. I don’t know anyone at the Sinclair Group, so I thought you could help me out. Could you put in a good word for me?” Betty asked with hope written all over her face.

Thalassa paused mid-bite into her bagel. She now understood why Betty had brought her breakfast. The aloof Betty buying her breakfast seemed too good to be true. Now she knew it wasn’t without a price.

In the corporate world, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Ethan, the sly man, had cleverly pushed her into this. She took a bite of her bagel as she responded, “I do know someone from the management at the Sinclair Group, but the main connection is Mr. Ethan. He and Mr. Sinclair are good friends, as you know.”
