The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 

Lysander’s gaze shifted towards the entrance, and sure enough, there she was, broom in hand, apparently ready to get down to scrubbing 

Was she Evelyn? 

Why did Hertha, the lady who just entered, addressed her Thalassa? 

Was that her real name? 

Faye, who was already on edge, felt her anxiety skyrocket when she heard Hertha call out Thalassa’s name and saw Lysander’s face darken abruptly. 

Her heart pounded like a jackhammer, as if her secret was about to be spilled, and she was scared stiff of being offed by Lysander himself. 

Thalassa lifted her gaze to meet Hertha’s, who was now shooting her a desperate plea. 

She too had heard Hertha calling her out. 

The utterance of “Thalassa” made her heart skip a beat. She thought, “I’m screwed! Now, Mr. Sinclair, Faye, and David all know I’ve been pulling a fast one at the Sinclair group.” 

She was bound to be sacked and publicly shamed. 

She was already broke, and the current situation was just rubbing salt in the wound. 

Thalassa now felt awkward whether she stayed or left and could only linger at the entrance 

She let out a couple of nervous chuckles, about to respond, when she caught Lysander’s icy and piercing gaze She choked on the words she had intended to say. 

“Evelyn, just how many identities are you juggling?” Lysander tossed his pen and leaned back in his chair, his icy stare seemingly freezing Thalassa in place. 

His demeanor was frosty as he scrutinized Thalassa 

The pen did a pirouette on the table before clattering to the floor, the sharp sound heralding his seething arger. 

“Mr. Sinclair, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Thalassa stammered, trying to explain herself 

The one who was most panicked was Faye. She was scared stiff that Lysander would uncover Thalassa’s true identity, realizing she was the woman from five years ago. 

Her heart raced even faster, and she was about to interrupt Thalassa when a strident female voice cut through the silence. 

Thalassa, you’re still here?” 

Before Thalassa could even make heads or tails of the situation, she was shoved hard, causing her to stumble into the door frame. 

Standing before her was Isabella, her face heavily made up and radiating arrogance. It was she who had pushed Thalassa 

Why had she shown up out of the blue? 

Thalassa frowned, about to say something, when Isabella launched into a tirade Thalassa, I’ve told you before, stop pulling scams everywhere. With your criminal record, you’re bound to have trouble finding work. You could have worked at my company. I wouldn’t have cared about your past. But now you had to come to the Sinclair Group under a false identity. Did you really think you could easily scam the Sinclair Group? Did you take Mr. Sinclair for a fool?
