The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 11

Faye was freaking out, her heart pounding like a drum. Had Mr. Sinclair recognized Thalassa? Would he call her out on her lies, confront her? Faye’s face turned pale, and her body was tense and stiff, eyes fixed on Thalassa She tried to initiate a conversation but found herself speechless. Fear, panic, indignation, dread, all sorts of emotions tortured her, making her feel awful

“Miss, I’m sorry if I disturbed you I’ll get back to work right away and promise not to make any more noise, Thalassa bowed apologetically to Faye. She had been warned during the interview that the top floor was occupied by VIPs and she should remain quiet while cleaning. Any disturbances and she’d be in hot water. Her argument with Isabella and entanglement with Lysander must have disturbed Faye..

After saying her piece, Thalassa grabbed her mop and went off. Faye didn’t stop her, unsure of how to handle the situation. How should she interact with the CEO?

She called out tentatively, “Good morning. Mr. Sinclair.*

“Hm.” Lysander’s reply was monosyllabic, his emotions unreadable. But his icy gaze was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Faye was on edge, her heart pounding, ready to face any consequences of her lies.

Thalassa quickly headed to the storeroom, overhearing Faye addressing the man. She stiffened, feeling as if she’d been electrocuted.

Oh crap! How could she not have realized that this so–called Lysander was the CEO of the Sinclair group?

The nightclub manager had said he was a big shot. She had even bumped into him in the restroom on the top floor yesterday. And again, at the elevator today. And she remembered, her darling Dorian had said he wanted to apologize to Lysander!

She hadn’t paid much attention to the name then. Why didn’t she connect the dots that this big shot was the CEO of the Sinclair group?
