Chapter 74
“Well, that’s that” Thalassa answered.
The two of them hopped back in the car, with Hertha looking noticeably cheerer than before.
“What happened between you and Lysander at Sapphire Skyline?” Hertha remembered what Alaric
had said and gave Thalassa a look full of curiosity.
Just thinking about the close relationship between Thalassa and Lysander that Alaric had implied made
her excited. She was dying to know the truth.
Thalassa’s face turned a deep shade of red. “Keep your eyes on the road and quit being nosy.”
“Come on, tell me, I’m your best friend. Whats the harm in telling?” Hertha’s curiosity was piqued. She
was eager to know about Thalassa and Lysander.
Thalassa was extremely embarrassed, “That night, I was working as a waitress at Sapphire Skyline.
Alariv ordered some female company, and I was sent to serve them. However, Lysander mistook me
for one of the ladies they ordered. I explained that I was just a waitress, not the kind of worker they
were expecting, and left the room. Nothing happened between us.”
Thalassa put extra emphasis on the last sentence.
“Are you sure nothing happened? Alaric just called you Lysander’s woman, and he didn’t deny it.”
Hertha’s mind was racing, she was turning into a detective.
Thalassa was taken aback, she also remembered Lysander’s demeanor
He didn’t deny that she was his woman and even defended her against Alaric’s badmouthing.
Why would he do that?
Did Lysander have feelings for her?
No way!
Wasn’t his girlfriend Isabella?
A man who had a girlfriend and still had feelings for other women. What a jerk!
At first, he pretended to be loyal, saying only his ex-girlfriend was in his heart. But, right now, it looked
like he was a player.
“How should I know what he’s thinking? I have nothing to do with him. Who are you going to believe,
him or me?” Thalassa insisted, not wanting to be linked to Lysander without reason.
“I believe you… I believe you.” Hertha quickly responded. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Wait, you said Alaric was the one who ordered female company that night?” Hertha’s focus shifted to
Alaric, catching the important point from Thalassa’s story.
“Mm-hmm. Thalassa responded nonchalantly.
She didn’t want to paint too clear a picture of the scene, fearing it might upset Hertha.
In reality, of the four men, Alaric was the one who enjoyed female company the most. He was always
surrounded by women. He was a genuine playboy.
Seemed like all four of them were party animals.
Lysander was no exception.
Hertha’s smile froze on her face; she stopped talking and focused on driving.
After dropping off the car at the car repair shop, Hertha hailed a cab. “Let’s go shopping We’ll pick up
the car after we’re done. Perfect timing”
“Alright.” Thalassa agreed, they both had the time, and she needed to buy clothes for the kids.
By the time they finished shopping, it was already past eight in the evening.
Thalassa bought clothes and formula for the kids and a set of clothes each for Astrid and her mother.
Her $800 was almost all gone.
Rent was due in a few days, which put a lot of pressure on Thalassa.
She contacted the manager at Sapphire Skyline, planning to continue working as a waitress that night.
She had to work non-stop and make money while the sun was still shining.
When she arrived at Sapphire Skyline, she saw Hertha.
“Hertha, what are you doing here?” She exclaimed in sur
