Chapter 130
Sweet Subterfuge
In the afternoon. Larissa was called into the office by her general manager. To her surprise, Lana was also there.
Lana didnât greet her warmly or approach her affectionately this time. Instead, she sat on the sofa, wearing a polite smile and exuding an air of elegance. The general manager, still unaware of their relationship, said to Larissa, âIâd like to introduce you to the daughter of Mr. Seymour, the president of Cosmic Entertainment. Sheâs an esteemed guest at our hotel.â
Larissa nodded and followed Lanaâs suit of pretending not to know each other. She greeted politely.
âNice to meet you. Ms. Seymour.â
Lana mimicked her and replied. âNice to meet you too.â
âMs. Seymour is from Bartham, and this is her first time in Covenford. She wants to spend a few days here, so please make arrangements to show her around and explore Covenfordâs charm for the next two days.â The general manager finally revealed the purpose of calling Larissa Larissa had previously thought that Lana was an inexperienced and naive young lady. She hadnât anticipated Lana using her own status to exert pressure on her through the general manager. It seemed that she needed to reassess Lana as a person.
Since it was a personal request from the general manager. Larissa had no choice but to reluctantly accept the task, saying. âOkay.â
Lana quickly took the opportunity and handed her phone to Larissa. âLetâs exchange phone numbers so it will be easier to keep in touch.â
âFine,â Larissa reluctantly took out her phone and exchanged contacts with Lana As soon as Larissa lett, she received a message from Lana.
âAre you mad at me?â Lana asked, followed by a sad emoji, Larissa glanced at it but didnât respond.
Not only did Lana fail to read the room, but she also continued to bombard her with a series of messages.
Tm sorry, sis! I just wanted to spend more time with you. I didnât mean to pressure you!
if youâre unhappy, I can tell Mr. Compton right now that I donât need you to bring me around Covenlord!
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry!â
âPlease forgive me!
The string of notifications from her phone only made Larissa more annoyed.
She unlocked her phone and replied insincerely. âIm not angry.â
Lana instantly replied. âReally?â
âYouâre the best?
âI like you the most! Numerous cute emojis accompanied this message.
Larissa didnât even bother to read the messages Lana sent. She immediately replied, âWhere do you want to go?â
After a short pause, her phone vibrated again, and Lanaâs message popped up. Tm line with any arrangements you make.â
It made Larissaâs job easier since Lana had no specific requests.
Larissa searched the internet, found a travel guide for a twoâdayâoneânight itinerary in Covenlord, and sent the link to Lana, After a few minutes. Lana replied, âAlright. We can follow this itinerary.â
Larissa was about to turn off her phone when she realized Lana was still typing in the chatbox.
Alter a while, she received another message. It read, âLucas said he wants to treat you to dinner tomorrow night. He asks you to bring Mr. Rogers along.â
Larissa fell silent. Lucasâ persistent pursuit of Kevan was truly remarkable, if it werenât for the fact that he had been dating Lana for the past three years, she might have suspected his sexual orientation. However, he was bound to be disappointed this time.
âMr. Rogers is at Bartham right now,â she replied.
