The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 887

How badly did Charlotte want to embarrass Thalassa?

Charlotte was eager to see Thalassa fall. She did that to push her out of the picture and claim her spot beside Lysander.

Amelia was hell-bent on sabotaging Thalassa as well, but Richard couldn't figure out her true intentions for now.

Although Richard had his suspicions, he didn't voice them out loud. He was wishing to preserve some dignity for Charlotte.

Charlotte found herself frequently praised by Richard so her heart fluttered at his words. She blinked and gazed at his serious eyes.

Surprised, she widened her eyes and asked curiously, "Richard, you're not... falling for me, are you?"

Richard's eyes flickered, a hint of panic flashing across them before quickly disappearing. It indicated the panic of someone whose thoughts had been correctly guessed.

He quickly regained his composure. He said as he hid the panic in his eyes, "That's such a straightforward question. Nobody's ever asked this question so bluntly."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted past Charlotte to avoid direct eye contact; he didn’t answer her question.

"I've always been so straightforward. I like Lysander, I want to be his girl, and I don't hide my intentions. Are you really into me since you care about me so much?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow, looking at Richard with suspicion.

Richard touched his nose, still looking away, "It's getting late, let me take you home."

"No way, Nose Cannon. Are you really into me?" Charlotte asked in disbelief. Her big eyes went wide as she stared at Richard.

"I didn't mean to, don't be mad. I won't call you that if you don't like it." Charlotte saw his reaction and softened her tone.

Suddenly bringing up a shameful nickname from the past was indeed inappropriate.

"It's not just for now, but also for the future. Don't ever call me by that nickname again, got it?" Richard, his face slightly red from the embarrassment, told Charlotte.

"I got it, I got it. Where's your car? Weren't you going to drive me home?" Charlotte quickly nodded as she saw Richard, a grown man, blush from embarrassment.

Charlotte thought her own embarrassment and anger were insignificant compared to his.

"Over there, let's go." Richard, having calmed down a bit, pointed to a spot not far from them and led the way to his car.
