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.”

Cherry was genuinely sorry.

Having spent some time together, Thalassa had a good grasp of what Cherry was like: she wasn’t into cliques. She didn’t spread rumors nor look down on others. She was a young woman with a strong moral compass.

Thalassa believed Cherry was indeed tricked.

“No worries, I don’t blame you. Don’t beat yourself up. Just focus on your work,” Thalassa said.

Cherry’s guilty expression instantly disappeared, and she flashed a smile. “Thank you, Ms. Everhart. I promise I’ll help solve problems for you in the future.”
