The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa -
Chapter 282
Chapter 282
Thalassa immediately said, “I can’t take your kind offer. Tell Mr. Sinclair that I’d rather take the bus.”
After saying this, she walked past David.
David stepped back to block her way. “Mr. Sinclair said if you defy orders, you pay the price.”
Thalassa stopped in her tracks.
Even though Lysander wasn’t in front of her, she still felt the pressure.
Refuse a favor and pay the price?
Was this bullying?
The key question was, was this favor because she finally accepted being kept, or was it a reward for her work?
Thalassa felt a sense of shame inside. She asked David, “I’ve only worked for two days, why is he giving me a car?”
“If people knew that Mr. Sinclair’s secretary takes the bus to work every day, it would make him feel dishonored,” David said calmly.
Giving the car to Thalassa was Mr. Sinclair’s task for him, he had to complete it.
No matter what, he had to deliver the car to Thalassa and make her willing to accept it.
“Then I can take a taxi every day, right?” Thalassa said.
“Isn’t taking a taxi essentially the same as taking the bus? Ms. Everhart, the car is a perk of the position. Even if it were someone else in this position, they would be treated the same. What are you fussing about?” David retorted.
“Are you serious?” Thalassa asked, half-believing.
“When have I ever lied?” David said with a smile.
Thalassa thought, “You’ve lied plenty of times. Weren’t you just deceiving me yesterday? You said Charlotte and Lysander have some kind of relationship, but you didn’t clarify
what kind.”
That’s why she let Charlotte go to Lysander, but she was misunderstood to be trying to send another woman to seduce him so she could leave safely.
If doing so could really allow her to leave safely, she’d be more than happy.
The problem was, Charlotte once said, even if she were Lysander’s fiancée, it wouldn’t stop Lysander from having other women. But these women would always just be playthings and could never replace Charlotte.
Even if Thalassa let Charlotte go to Lysander and let her into Lysander’s office, it couldn’t change Thalassa’s current situation.
It would only make her more embarrassed and hard to deal with.
“What if I don’t accept this car?” Thalassa said.
“Then Mr. Sinclair will come and deliver it to you himself,” David said.
Thalassa felt fear at the thought of Lysander personally delivering the car to her.
To avoid trouble, Thalassa took the keys from David. “It’s so kind of you.”
“We’re colleagues. Never mind,” David said.
Thalassa didn’t want to say anymore to him. In case Evelyn came down with the kids to go to school and saw David, that would be a problem.
Thalassa pressed the car key and got into the car. She started it and drove off.
She got her driver’s license in college but hadn’t had a chance to drive in years.
Her driving skills were really poor.
When she reached the entrance of the community and passed through the automatic gate, she braked too late and almost hit the gate.
And it was an emergency stop.
David followed behind her. Seeing her emergency stop, he also made an emergency stop, almost rear-ending her.
With such driving skills, was Mr. Sinclair not worried about her having problems on the road?
David thought about this and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Thalassa drove thrillingly all the way and finally arrived at the Sinclair Group.
