The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 940

Thalassa’s strength was nothing compared to that of the person outside the door, and the door was easily pushed open.

As Lysander’s tall, dark silhouette entered, a wave of panic washed over Thalassa. His commanding presence seemed to push her back step by step without him even trying.

“Lysander, I was about to take a shower. Do you need something?” Thalassa asked with a nervous tremor in her voice.

“I know. I need a shower too,” Lysander replied, his voice deep and resonant, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “You go ahead then,” Thalassa said, lowering her gaze, ready to sidestep him and leave the bathroom.
