The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Hertha was scrolling through Alaric’s social media feed when she came across a selfie of him at a bar,

drink in hand.

Maybe it was the bar lights, or maybe love made people look more attractive, but as Hertha stared at

the photo, the man’s face seemed to glow, becoming more and more charming

Just a single photo, and she was already head over heels, her heart racing as she ogled the picture.

Some people just knocked her off her feet at first sight

She barely had a look at him and was already hooked, how could she possibly forget him?

Hertha secretly saved the picture on her phone.

After a bit of thinking, she decided to give herself a shot.

Otherwise, shed have regrets.

She opened the chat with Alaric and typed, Hello.

No, that was too ordinary

She deleted it and typed again Hey handsome, this is Hertha. Fancy grabbing a bite to eat tonight? My

treat

Having typed the message, she bit her lip, pondering for a while.

Every word she wrote was carefully considered Gathering her courage, she hit “send”.

The message was sent.

Her heart was pounding, her nerves were on fire, and she was uncertain of what the response would

be

But before she had the chance to ponder the possible outcomes, she realized that after a while, the

message hadn’t shown the two gray ticks.

Was his signal bad? Or couldn’t he receive messages?

Oh crap!

She realized she couldn’t see his profile picture; had she been blocked?

Hertha panicked, burying her face in Thalassa’s shoulder. Her emotions swung from nervous to excited

to disappointed in just a few seconds. Overwhelmed, she broke down in Thalassa’s arms and said,

“Thalassa, he blocked me. He rejected me before anything even started.”

It was funny to think that she was even considering him to be a playboy

He simply wasnt into her

Thalassa was taken aback for a moment, then started to comfort her by patting her back

11’s okay, the next guy will be better,” Thalassa said

Hertha’s sobs were muffled against her shoulder, her warm tears soaking her clothes.

Thalassa felt sorry for her, her heart was aching

She only met the guy once, fell for him, and got so crushed after being blocked.

If they’d actually been in a relationship and it didn’t work out. Hertha would surely be in more pain

It was a good thing it ended before it began. With Alaric’s playboy personality, there was no way he

could give Hertha a future. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Otherwise. Hertha would’ve been hurt even worse

Hertha was crying as the taxi pulled up at Thalassa’s place. Thalassa paid the fare and helped Hertha

out of the car.

After a good cry, Hertha seemed better. She wiped away her tears, managed a smile, and told

Thalassa, “You’re right, the next one will be better. It’s just a man, no big deall Come on, the four kids

are waiting for us.”

Hertha lightly held onto Thalassa’s arm, appearing as if she didn’t have a care in the world, full of

energy and sunshine.

But Thalassa saw her swollen eyes and the lingering tears and knew that she hadn’t let go so easily
