The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 756
The invasive aura of Lysander was creeping up on Thalassa, seeping into her pores, slowing her breath, and accelerating her
heartbeat.
Her hand, clutching the contract, was frozen in mid-air.
Her wide eyes reflected Lysander’s stern, chiseled face; his eyes locked onto hers and waited for her next move.
The office was eerily silent, so quiet that Thalassa could only hear her own amplified heartbeat.
“So, I’ll make you?” Lysander grasped her wrist in a split second.
His rough touch made Thalassa tense. She stuttered, “Mr. Sinclair, I’m only here as a representative of the Crawley Group to
discuss a partnership, so I don’t want to mix business and personal matters. We can discuss our personal issues later tonight. If
now is not a good time, I can come back another day...”
She had no idea what was irking Lysander or how she had crossed him.
His gaze was dangerous as if he could swallow her whole at any moment.
After her speech, Thalassa looked at him anxiously and waited for him to release her hand.
His deep and inscrutable eyes were fixed on her, making Thalassa’s heart race; she nervously swallowed.
Just as she resigned herself to being taken by him in the office like last time, Lysander let go of her hand and snatched the
contract from her. He began to review it in front of her.
Thalassa’s taut shoulders relaxed; she exhaled in silence.
She was terrified just then, worried that he would delve into her personal matter instead of the cooperation with the Crawley
Group.
Did he suddenly let go of her because of what she said about discussing their personal matters at night?
She said that intentionally only to resolve the immediate predicament.
i

She didn’t want to experience the panic and danger of last time again. Pinned against the office glass door, while David was still
ringing the doorbell outside; the intensity, excitement, and fear made her wish she could die on the spot to cover her
embarrassment.
Although she later learned that the glass door was one-way, her inner fear was still intense.
Thalassa looked up at Lysander, who was reading the contract quickly but seriously. His aura as a business elite was evident in
every detail.
He was reading at a glance, but each clause was clear.
The contract’s last page covered potential accidents and indemnity clauses during the partnership.
It said that if there were issues with the goods delivered that led to irreparable losses, the Sinclair group had to compensate
according to market requirements and apologize publicly.
There were also clauses about force majeure, where losses would have to be negotiated by both parties.
These clauses were a necessity in contracts, usually never needed but added just in case.
Just some normal clauses.
Almost every contract Lysander had signed contained these preventive measures.
After reading to the end, both the motivation for cooperation and the profits were normal.
Lysander signed his name on the last page and handed the contract to her, “Tell Ethan himself to come the next time we need to
sign a contract.”
Thalassa quickly accepted the contract. She could barely conceal her joy as she replied hastily, “Sure, I’ll pass on the message.”
Actually, she didn’t like the Crawley Group sending her to negotiate with Lysander. Dealing with Lysander in her personal life was
exhausting enough; she really didn’t want to face him at work too.
After Lysander returned to his executive chair, Thalassa said respectfully, “Take your time, Mr. Sinclair. I’ll head back to the
company now.”

Without a word from Lysander, Thalassa quickly retreated to the door and left his office.
