The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1541

But remembering how Bridget had been a rock for her, taking care of the kids while she was recovering from the car accident, Hertha felt she couldn't possibly say no this time. Bridget had been juggling caring for her and the kids without a break for days on end.

This time, Bridget needed the time off for a family matter, and Hertha knew it would be heartless to refuse.

"Alright, Bridget, take tomorrow off. I'll call in a day's leave at the office," Hertha said.

"Thank you, Ms. Kensington," Bridget sighed with relief, her gratitude palpable.

"Don't mention it, I should be the one thanking you," Hertha replied.

The next day, Thalassa was up at the crack of dawn, sharing a quick breakfast with Astrid before getting ready to meet Dr. Funke and the woman he was set up with.

After Thalassa left, Astrid was clearing the table when she noticed Thalassa had left the woman's profile on the coffee table. Astrid grabbed the documents and rushed out, but Thalassa had already driven off.

Panic set in for Astrid. Thalassa had specifically printed those documents for Dr. Funke to review during the blind date, having been asked by Dr. Funke himself to arrange this with detailed information on the woman.

Having overheard Thalassa's conversations with Dr. Funke, Astrid knew he was not one to be trifled with—demanding, with a peculiar personality. She knew Thalassa was going to have a tough time without those documents.
