The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 

“Hertha, that’s the back seat. You’re driving.” Thalassa pointed out. 

“Oh, right” Hertha seemed a bit out of it. She quickly shut the back door and slid into the driver’s seat. 

Thalassa could only sigh at her friend’s state of mind as she climbed into the car. Hertha started the engine, and they were off. 

As they cruised down the road, Hertha couldn’t help but picture Alaric’s charming face. 

His sly, hidden smile, the beauty spot by his eye that twinkled when he laughed. Everything about him was burned into her memory. 

The first time she saw him, her heart raced. The second time, she was a bundle of nerves. 

She had no idea what was wrong with her 

He’d already deleted her contact. Clearly, he wasn’t interested in her. 

So, what was she still hoping for? 

But she just couldn’t get him out of her mind. 

“Hertha, red light ahead! Stop!’ Thalassa warned her urgently 

The traffic light had turned red, but Hertha just kept on driving, not slowing down. 

After hearing Thalassa’s warning, Hertha quickly hit the brakes. 

” 

With the sudden stop, Thalassa lurched forward and had to grab onto the seat to prevent herself from falling 

‘BANG!” 

A car behind them crashed into theirs. 

Their car jolted back and forth from the impact, shaking Thalassa 

“Damn, we got hit! Thalassa exclaimed. 

Quickly realizing what had happened, both girls hurried out to check the damage. 

Sure enough, the rear of Hertha’s red car was dented, with parts exposed. 

The silver car that hit them, however, was unscathed 

Thalassa didn’t own a car, but she had a license and knew the basic traffic rules. 

The windows of the silver car were tinted, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. 

They had been rear-ended, but the driver showed no signs of coming out to deal with the situation. 

Hertha stood there, looking dazed and confused 

Thalassa stepped forward and tapped on the car window. “Hey, you hit us from the back. Can you come out so we can sort this out?”
