The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 852

Thalassa's eyelashes quivered and her face instinctively recoiled.

Lysander's movements stilled as a layer of icy chill cloaked his eyes, "Still not used to me yet?"

Thalassa avoided his gaze and dropped her eyelashes, "No, I'm just not feeling well. I'm not in the mood..."

Lysander's deep gaze lingered on her for a while, but he didn't insist. Instead, he pulled her into his embrace, holding her close and saying nothing. "Sleep," he commanded.

He knew she wasn't emotionally well. He would give her time to completely let go.

Moments before, Thalassa had been tensely facing away from Lysander. His warm breath on the back of her neck made her feel threatened.

Now, she was facing him and being wrapped in his arms. Her cheek nuzzled against his firm chest and could feel his steady and powerful heartbeat. It turned out that she was somehow less afraid.

Her fatigue overcame her and she fell asleep quickly.

When Thalassa went to work, Ethan sent her to Leopold's studio. The Crawley Group had a contract with Leopold's studio, but now that Leopold was gone, the contract needed to be renegotiated.

Thalassa arrived at the studio Leopold had created.

Her heart was heavy as she prepared to enter. It took several deep breaths before she could muster the courage to step inside.

She expected to find just a few people, but to her surprise, every workstation was filled. There was not a single truant employee. Each one was diligently working, everything in order.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" A young woman approached and inquired politely.

Thalassa was left with a huge doubt. Leopold had been determined to get an answer for the workers' families and he even promised as much. Why would he kill himself before he could fulfill his promise?

It didn't make sense.

"Lily, come and see this. The Sinclair Group has released a statement. The explosion case has been solved and a conclusion has been reached," Amelia suddenly emerged from the manager's office, her phone in her hand and excitement on her face.

Lily hurried over.

Seeing Amelia, Thalassa finally understood why Leopold's studio was still running smoothly after his death. Amelia had been managing things in his stead.

Thalassa also approached, joining Lily to see what was on Amelia's phone.
