The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 852

Thalassa's eyelashes quivered and her face instinctively recoiled.

Lysander's movements stilled as a layer of icy chill cloaked his eyes, "Still not used to me yet?"

Thalassa avoided his gaze and dropped her eyelashes, "No, I'm just not feeling well. I'm not in the mood..."

Lysander's deep gaze lingered on her for a while, but he didn't insist. Instead, he pulled her into his embrace, holding her close and saying nothing. "Sleep," he commanded.

He knew she wasn't emotionally well. He would give her time to completely let go.

Moments before, Thalassa had been tensely facing away from Lysander. His warm breath on the back of her neck made her feel threatened.

Now, she was facing him and being wrapped in his arms. Her cheek nuzzled against his firm chest and could feel his steady and powerful heartbeat. It turned out that she was somehow less afraid.

Her fatigue overcame her and she fell asleep quickly.

...

When Thalassa went to work, Ethan sent her to Leopold's studio. The Crawley Group had a contract with Leopold's studio, but now that Leopold was gone, the contract needed to be renegotiated.

Thalassa arrived at the studio Leopold had created.

Her heart was heavy as she prepared to enter. It took several deep breaths before she could muster the courage to step inside.

She expected to find just a few people, but to her surprise, every workstation was filled. There was not a single truant employee. Each one was diligently working, everything in order.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" A young woman approached and inquired politely.
