The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 756

The invasive aura of Lysander was creeping up on Thalassa, seeping into her pores, slowing her breath, and accelerating her heartbeat.

Her hand, clutching the contract, was frozen in mid-air.

Her wide eyes reflected Lysander's stern, chiseled face; his eyes locked onto hers and waited for her next move.

The office was eerily silent, so quiet that Thalassa could only hear her own amplified heartbeat.

"So, I’ll make you?" Lysander grasped her wrist in a split second.

His rough touch made Thalassa tense. She stuttered, "Mr. Sinclair, I'm only here as a representative of the Crawley Group to discuss a partnership, so I don't want to mix business and personal matters. We can discuss our personal issues later tonight. If now is not a good time, I can come back another day..."

She had no idea what was irking Lysander or how she had crossed him.

His gaze was dangerous as if he could swallow her whole at any moment.

After her speech, Thalassa looked at him anxiously and waited for him to release her hand.

His deep and inscrutable eyes were fixed on her, making Thalassa's heart race; she nervously swallowed.

Just as she resigned herself to being taken by him in the office like last time, Lysander let go of her hand and snatched the contract from her. He began to review it in front of her.

Thalassa's taut shoulders relaxed; she exhaled in silence.

She was terrified just then, worried that he would delve into her personal matter instead of the cooperation with the Crawley Group.

Did he suddenly let go of her because of what she said about discussing their personal matters at night?

She said that intentionally only to resolve the immediate predicament.
