Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 963

During lunch, Marilyn called her and asked, “Larissa, what are you doing right now?”

Larissa swallowed her food and replied. “I’m having lunch. What about you?”

“I’m having lunch too.” Marilyn sounded sad. “I miss you so much, Larissa, I’m so lonely without you at the company. No one’s eating with me or chatting with me during lunch anymore, and there’s no one to slack off with me at work by surfing the forums. Ahh

Larissa felt a little regretful too as there were fewer chances to meet up with Marilyn. But she did not want to dampen the mood, so she gave Marilyn a pep talk. “You can eat with other people.”

Although the presidential office had new people now, it was not hard for Marilyn to make friends with these people based on her personality.

Moreover, there were a few people who were close to Marilyn in age in the new batch. They would definitely find similar interests to talk

about

“But they’re not you.” Marilyn sounded unhappy. She sounded like she was close to crying.

Larissa did not expect Marilyn to have such deep feelings for her. She suddenly felt a little quilty.

Ever since leaving the company, she had not thought of Marilyn at all.

“Maybe — we can go out for a meal this Saturday? Larissa asked Marilyn,

She was going to go back to Caldor soon, and she might not ever come back to Westonia.

Having a meal with Marilyn could be considered a proper goodbye.

“Sure!” Marilyn agreed. “You decide on the place then! I can eat anything”

“Okay.” Larissa ended the call after she comforted Marilyn a little bit more.

Lewis came home earlier today.

Larissa and Wendy were sitting on the couch playing on their phones.

When they heard the sound of the door opening, they jumped up from the couch with wide eyes as they stared at the door fearfully.

Lewis came back with a huge shopping bag in his hands. It was bulging with groceries. When he saw them in the living room, Lewis found it hilarious, but his expression remained unchanged.

“Larissa,” he called out in a deep voice.

“Yes, sir!” Larissa immediately responded. Her voice was rather stiff.

Lewis put the shopping bag on the floor and changed his shoes. “Bring this into the kitchen,” he instructed.

“Yes, siri” Larissa hurriedly ran over to bring the shopping bag into the kitchen.

Lewis finished changing his shoes, but Wendy was still standing there.

Her head was down, and her long hair hid her face so that no one could tell what expression she had on.

Her arms were hanging by her side, and her hands were clenched into fists.

One could tell that she was very nervous right now.

Lewis knew, of course, what Wendy was nervous about.

What happened last night was very sudden. He had only passed by her room when he was pulled Inside by her.

He was not familiar with her.

They had only met a few times but had barely talked to each other. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

down, but he still could not help but stutter when he spoke.

…………..

She did not answer him though. She stabbed a linger at him and shouted angrily, “Why are you like this? Where the heirs your fucking conscience?! You’re just Uncle Gary’s nephew, how dare you fight Larissa for the family fortune?

“Old Uncle Gary raise you for so many years just to let you bully his daughter? You fucking ungrateful son of a bitch! How dare you come here? What are you planning right now? I’m telling you Lewis Logan, since I’m here, I won’t let you do anything to hurt Larissa! “If you still have some self– awareness, get the fuck out of here! Don’t let me see you appear in front of Larissa again!”
