The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

He had the audacity to blow smoke right in Lysander's face-a gesture of supreme disrespect! Thalassa seethed with rage, more incensed than if she herself had been the target of such humiliation. Her breathing turned rapid, teeth gritted in anger, ready to confront Payton's audacity. But before she could speak out, David stepped forward, positioning himself between Lysander and Payton, cutting off Payton's contemptuous stare.

Payton glanced at David with disdain, easily brushing him aside with a scoff. "You're nothing but Lysander's lapdog, barking up the wrong tree."

His strength was undeniable as he pushed David aside, stepping closer to Lysander, radiating hostility. David's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and shame.
