The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 990

Thalassa's gaze flitted nervously across the living room where, to her dismay, she noticed the slipcovers on the sofa had been changed. Just last night, the couch was adorned with a deep gray velvet cover, and today, it was clad in dark gray leather.

The new cover was undoubtedly due to the marks they had left behind on the couch the previous night.

As this thought dawned on her, Thalassa's eyes shot up, meeting Lysander's gaze, which was as deep and mysterious as a star-filled night sky.

Her already tense heart skipped a beat. She couldn't decipher Lysander's intentions, and the aura of danger he exuded was intimidating.

Feeling a chill run down her spine, she instinctively shrank back into the chair.

"I was here for work." she added quickly.

Lysander's penetrating stare never wavered, as if he was trying to see right through her.

His presence was overwhelming, like an icy dagger pressing against her skin, sharp enough to draw blood.

Thalassa's skin prickled with a numbing pain as she withstood the immense pressure.

Just as she felt she was about to break, Lysander spoke up in a low voice, "Do you ever come to me without an agenda?"

She never sought him out just for the sake of seeing him. Her playful behavior and the kisses she had initiated in the past were all strategic moves to ensure her access to Royal Estates and see the children whenever she wished.

He had once been foolishly content with her coquettish acts, like a lovesick teenager.

However, after being let down so many times, Lysander had learned to remain composed.

Having said his piece, Lysander picked up the mug in front of him, took a sip of his coffee, and stated, "Tell the Crawley Group to prepare for the breach of contract penalty. We'll settle this according to the terms agreed upon."

Thalassa was taken aback. She hadn't expected Lysander to discuss business matters so seriously, and he had cut straight to the chase with a solution.
