The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 826

Lysander's fingers were white-knuckled around his coffee mug, a stark contrast to the cool, composed aura that seemed to emanate from him.

His handsome face was as severe as a frozen lake in the throes of winter.

David, feeling the sudden drop in temperature within the office, tensed up; his heart was pounding wildly in his chest.

With a slight nod, he silently exited the room.

...

Thalassa made her way to Leossa Electronics, following Ethan's advice to check for any unusual activities.

As soon as she entered, she noticed the grim and hurried expressions of the workers. Some were engrossed in their work; others were packing their belongings.

Something was definitely off.

She stopped a random worker, "Why are you packing? Is it already quitting time?"

The worker looked panicked and hastily replied, "The company is downsizing. I have to leave now."

Before Thalassa could ask anything more, he picked up his belongings and quickly walked off.

Several other workers followed suit, leaving the factory with their belongings in tow.

Those remaining sat at their desks, looked all tensed up. They were so focusing on work and didn’t dare to slack off at all.

It was a stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere she had noted during her previous visits to the factory.

Now, a sense of unease filled the air, leaving Thalassa puzzled.
