The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1408

Alaric’s gaze was too intense that it unsettled Hertha.

His eyes seemed to hold a lingering thought of her, as if wondering if she had an opinion on whether he should reconcile with Georgia.

The elevator doors slid shut, and Hertha pressed the button for the ground floor.
