The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 130

“I’ll let you know if we need your help.” Luisa said, her voice coming out sharper than she intended.

Clark’s smile dropped, but he restored it almost immediately, and an awkward silence settled over the table for a few seconds until he broke it with another ferrible joke. A few minutes later, their food was brought to them.

“Luisa, are you sure everything’s okay? You haven’t taken a bite yet,” Thalassa asked, noticing Luisa was just poking her salad with her fork after she and Clark had already been eating for a while.

“Everything’s fine, Lassa. Don’t worry,” Luisa replied, forcing herself to take a forkful of salad to ease Thalassa's concern.

But she could feel Clark’s eyes on her every few seconds. Not wanting to raise his suspicions, she forced herself to finish everything on her plate, acting as normal as she could.

When they were done, Clark paid the bill. Just as Luisa thought they were about to leave, he excused himself.

“Will the ladies excuse me? I need to use the restroom for a bit.”

Thalassa nodded for him to go ahead. Clark got up and walked off towards the washrooms

“Clark, your phone...” Thalassa called after him, but he was already too far away to hear.

Once Clark disappeared from sight, she turned to Luisa, her expression curious. “What was that earlier, Luisa? You were a bit rude to Clark.”

Luisa had planned to talk about it with her when they returned to the office, but she couldn’t contain her anxiety any longer and blurted out, “Lassa, you need to get away from Clark.”

Thalassa stiffened, her face tightening. “Luisa, what are you talking about?”

Glancing toward the restroom area to ensure that Clark wasn’t returning, Luisa leaned in. “He’s dangerous, Thalassa. He’s not the good person we thought he was. I’m certain he was behind the sabotage.”

Thalassa’s eyes narrowed, hardening. “You’re sure? Who is this coming from? Is it you or Alden, or worse yet, Kris?”

“Thalassa, Alden didn’t—”

“Please, Luisa,” Thalassa cut her off. “Yesterday, you were pushing me to give Clark a chance. And now, suddenly, after Alden visits you, Clark’s dangerous? What’s changed?”

Disappointment darkened her eyes. “I thought Alden was serious about you, but if he’s only coming to see you because Kris put him up to it, maybe I was wrong.”

Luisa winced at the sting of her words. “So, you also think the only reason a man would want to be with me is if he had ulterior motives?”

Thalassa’s eyes widened in surprise. “No, of course not, Luisa. I just don’t like the idea of him using you to get to me.”
