The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1520

Locking eyes with Lysander, Thalassa felt a surge of excitement burning in the abyssal depths of his gaze. Her heart started racing uncontrollably, a flurry of emotions she couldn't quite understand. Yet, after merely a second, she found his intense stare too overwhelming and had to look away.

She picked up her glass of water, taking a sip to mask her nervousness.

It wasn't that she couldn't meet his gaze; it was just like she had said earlier. Why bother getting close to him knowing he was already spoken for?

She had said the same about Alaric, and she wasn't any different in this respect.

Alaric was right. Why should she feel any different towards Lysander knowing that Lysander and Rosalind were already secretly promised to each other through their families' arrangements?

Just before, at the bathroom door, Rosalind had called Lysander to check in on him.

It was time to step back for everyone's sake.

Seeing Thalassa avert her gaze, Lysander casually shifted his own, pushing his wheelchair forward.

"Mr. Sinclair, you're back," David stood up, greeting him and pushing Lysander to the table.

"How's the proposal looking?" Lysander asked.

David reported honestly, "I think the proposal is quite solid as a whole..."

"The Crawley Group has decided to make the purchase," Alaric interrupted David. He had seen the passion in Hertha's eyes and her emotional investment in the design when she discussed the proposal with him. It was a design with soul.
