The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 283

Thalassa parked her car and hurried into the lobby.

It was just past eight and some change. Work didn’t start until nine, so she wasn’t late.

“Ms. Everhart,” Cherry, the receptionist, called out to her as she passed the lobby.

Thalassa paused. She looked back but didn’t say anything.

Cherry walked up to Thalassa with an apologetic look. “Ms. Everhart, I’m so sorry. I had no idea what was happening yesterday. Otherwise, I would’ve never invited you to dinner. I was duped too.”
