The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1584

Thalassa had just started her new job and was still navigating the tricky waters of building stable relationships with her colleagues. She wanted nothing more than to focus on her work and avoid any preconceived notions they might have about her.

David's comments, however, insinuated something more between her and Lysander, making her position uncomfortably conspicuous.

Thalassa glanced around at her colleagues, quickly averting her gaze to maintain a polite smile. She addressed David, "Mr. Sinclair is a busy man. If he has time, it's only right he spends it with his fiancée, not worrying about checking in on me. Even without Mr. Sinclair's instructions, I'm committed to doing my job well and ensuring the Sinclair Group doesn't regret this design purchase."

Despite her efforts to mitigate the situation, Thalassa knew her words did little to quell the speculation about her and Lysander's relationship, but it was better than not addressing it at all.

Realizing Thalassa's concern, David chuckled, "Ms. Everhart is a responsible designer."

David tactfully refrained from bringing up Lysander again, sparing Thalassa from becoming the target of office gossip.

After all, Lysander was a well-known figure in Starhaven, a man many could only dream of meeting, let alone being closely associated with. If word got out about Thalassa and Lysander, jealousy was guaranteed.

David suddenly understood that his earlier comment was more harmful than helpful, despite his intentions to ingratiate Thalassa with Mr. Sinclair. He hoped for a reconciliation between the two, imagining a happier, more content Lysander, instead of the brooding, icy figure he had become.

"Mr. Falconer, David, let's move this to the lounge for a more detailed discussion," Hertha interjected just in time.

Donovan quickly agreed, "Yes, to the lounge. We've prepared all the necessary background information."
