The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 757

The air outside felt so much fresher than that of the office. Thalassa's taut nerves began to relax, and she noticed that her back had broken into sweat.

As she returned to the Crawley Group, Betty took the contract from her hands and flipped eagerly to the last page to see the signed name.

Betty's joy was evident in her sparkling eyes, "Thalassa, thank you so much. Please thank your high-level friend for me, too. If it's possible, I'd like to invite him for dinner tonight, my treat."

Thalassa gave a noncommittal smile, "No need, I don't have time tonight, and he doesn't either."

She had only helped Betty because she'd accepted her breakfast invitation that morning. She didn't want to owe her any more favors.

That’s why she definitely wouldn't be going to that dinner.

"Alright then, I'll take you out when you have time. I need to deliver this to Mr. Ethan now." Saying this, Betty left cheerfully with the contract in hand.

After work, Thalassa returned to her home in Vibrant Oasis Residences. She had initially planned to go to Royal Estates to spend time with the kids but remembered what she had told Lysander that morning about discussing their personal matters in the evening.

The thought of that conversation made her heart race. The way Lysander discussed personal matters was more than she could handle.

She was still recuperating. Another visit to Royal Estates might cost her half her life. She was truly afraid.

Best to avoid it for one more night. She thought.

As she was cooking dinner with her mother, Evelyn, Ethan called.

"Thalassa, we're having a company gathering at Half-Mountain Restaurant. Hurry up and join us," Ethan's tone was light and friendly, in the demeanor of an easygoing boss.

"Mr. Ethan, I'm at home cooking dinner, so I won't be able to join the gathering," Thalassa declined. She was already home, and dinner was almost ready.

"You need to make an appearance so the colleagues can get to know you. Don't be a homebody," Ethan tried to persuade her.
