The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 621

Their footsteps passed by Thalassa, heavy with an icy wind that cut across her face, sharp and cold.

Thalassa watched as they walked away, her gaze trailing their footprints until they were lost from sight.

Tears filled her eyes as she stared blankly at the then-deserted corridor.

A pair of leather shoes approached. Stopping beside her, a man's voice rang out, "Ms. Everhart, may I assist you?"

Thalassa turned her stiff neck to look at the man. It was David.

With a dry swallow, she managed to get out, "I can do it... on my own..."

Her voice came out raspy, a sharp pain lacing every word. The force with which Lysander had just choked her could have easily been fatal.

Thalassa tried to stand, her hands pressing against the cold floor, but her legs were numb and weak, causing her to crumble back down.

David bent down to help her, but as he extended his hand, Thalassa managed to rise, using the wall for support.

David retracted his hand and said, "Ms. Everhart, it’s getting late. You should go home."

With that, he left.
