The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 634

Chapter 634 

J 

Thalassa was startled, her entire body colliding with the man’s chest. 

His chest was firm, brimming with raw masculine power. Her eyes, wide and panicked, met his stern, icy gaze. 

His face was rugged, his skin tanned, radiating a strong masculine allure. 

Thalassa’s heart stuttered and she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Captain Payne, I didn’t mean to.” 

Thalassa apologized to Payne, trying to pull away and exit his embrace. 

Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming presence flooded in, the air vibrating with disruption. 

Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat, and in the next second, her wrist was seized, with a swift tug, she was pulled out of Payne’s arms. 

Facing Lysander’s deep and cold eyes, Thalassa caught her breath, her body stiffening, her legs feeling numb as if they weren’t her own. Lysander’s handsome face darkened, his voice cold as ice. “What were you doing just now?” 

His eyes followed down her face and saw her dress. His gaze was cold and dark with annoyance. 

She was wearing a low-cut evening dress. One could see a glimpse of her curves if they leaned in too close. 

And she had just thrown herself into Payne’s arms! 

Thalassa panicked, wanting to explain. 

Payne said, his tone casual and nonchalant, “This lady is quite interesting, trying to pique my interest in a case. You’re interrupting at a rather unfortunate time, Lysander.” 

He smiled, and his stern eyes were filled with an ambiguous glint, watching Lysander unblinkingly. 

His words made Thalassa more nervous. They were full of ambiguity and could easily lead to misunderstandings. 

“No, I was just going to have a drink with Captain Payne…” 

Thalassa’s words were cut short by Lysander’s oppressive gaze. He asked, “Is that so? First step a drink, what’s the next step?” 

His handsome face looked cold. He gritted his teeth as he finished his words, and let go of Thalassa’s wrist. 

His deep eyes were filled with resentment and anger. 

“I didn’t think about a next step. I just wanted to convince Captain Payne to take a case…” Thalassa hurriedly explained. Lysander’s icy and intimidating aura was making her breathing heavy. 

She wasn’t sure why she felt the need to explain, but she had a gut feeling that if Lysander was angry, she would face consequences. 

“Don’t be a nuisance here!” Lysander spoke coldly, acting icy and aloof 

Thalassa was stunned. Seeing the disdain in his deep eyes, her heart ached involuntarily.
