The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1660

Lance looked at Zoey, his eyes full of affection, and said, "So, we're playing the 'girlfriend' card now? Don't worry, I'll handle Thalassa's registration. She's a perfect fit. In competitions like these, who cares about work experience? It's all about the dazzle of the designs."

Zoey beamed at Thalassa, "Hear that? You're totally in. Add Lance on WhatsApp, and you can sign up tomorrow."

Thalassa quickly pulled out her phone, her manners polished yet modest, and humbly said to Lance, "Let me add you as a contact."

"Sure thing," Lance responded, whipping out his phone with ease.

Once they were connected, Thalassa felt a wave of relief wash over her. She raised her glass in a toast, filled with gratitude towards Lance and Zoey, and also made a special mention of Dr. Jamal for introducing her to them.

The next day, Thalassa reached out to Lance and signed up for the Azure Star jewelry design competition.

Just after sending the registration email, the sound of her doorbell echoed through her apartment.

Closing her laptop, Thalassa went to answer the door, a spontaneous smile lighting up her face as she said, "Hertha, I just signed up for—"

But her excitement froze mid-sentence as she saw Rosalind standing there, not Hertha. Her smile faded, her voice losing its warmth as she asked, "What brings you here?"

Seeing Thalassa reminded Rosalind of the four children Thalassa had with Lysander, who was soon to be her own husband. The sight of Thalassa choked her up.
