The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1283

Yesterday, the hotel staff were compliant when Lysander rang them up,
requesting a change of bed sheets.

So why was it that today she got the cold shoulder when she made the call?

“It was different yesterday,” the front desk clerk replied in a tone that was as dry
as overcooked turkey.

“How is it any different?” Thalassa pressed on, her frustration simmering.
“Because yesterday...” the clerk started before biting her tongue, letting out a
sigh that could deflate a parade balloon, “Alright, fine. We'll change the sheets for
you this time. But do us a favor and try not to douse them then, okay?”

“This is lousy service! We're checking out. We won't stay at this place any
longer,” Thalassa fumed, feeling the blatant disparity in treatment.

The front desk had some kind of favoritism going on. Yesterday, Lysander called
and the clerk was all over it like white on rice, with the staff showing up to change
the sheets in a heartbeat.

But today, they treated her like she was asking for the moon when she called.
“You're welcome to check out. A gentleman has been eager to move in,” the clerk
said with a tone that suggested they had been waiting for them to leave.
Thalassa was stunned. Were they really waiting for them to vacate the room?
Was this mysterious gentleman Lysander?

After all, he had stayed in this room just the day before, and she had asked him
to lea today.

Was Lysander trying to push her out so he could book the room and have a
reason to Evelyn out?

Thalassa felt a bitter sting in her chest, as if her heart was being brined in
saltwater.

She wanted to protect her mother, yet Lysander seemed intent on rubbing salt in
her wounds, wanting to drive her mother away.

And to think she had believed Lysander was trying to help her reason with
Evelyn?

She realized he didn’t care about her feelings or her mother’s at all.

He was all about claiming territory and possession!

With a heavy heart, Thalassa snapped at the phone, “We're checking out right
now!”

She slammed the phone down.

Her mother had had an accident, and she was already shaken to her core,
longing to take a nap with her to recuperate.

But instead, she faced this heartburn-inducing debacle.

Having heard Thalassa's phone ordeal, Evelyn suggested, “Let's just make do
and get some sleep, honey. There aren't many hotels around, and who knows
how long it'll take to find another.”

Thalassa'’s eyes welled up, looking at Evelyn, “Mom, I'm sorry..."

“Silly girl, there's no need for apologies between mother and daughter,” Evelyn
chided gently, patting her daughter's head.

But Thalassa couldn't swallow the insult of being treated with such disdain by the
front desk and still having to stay.

She really should take her mother away and find another hotel.

Yet her mother was right. There weren't many options nearby.
