The general manager didnât even ask if she was available to undertake the task. He frowned, âDidnât I tell you a day in achance?
Larissa pursed her lips and answered helplessly. âOkay.â
After working for so many years, Larissa had been an numerous work trips. However, she had always managed to avoid Barlham, and this visit marked her first time there. She would have arranged for a substitute if the general manager hadnât specifically requested her presence or if someone else could have conducted the training on her behalf.
She packed two full suitcases since she would be there for a week. When Kevan relumed at night and saw the suitcases, he was alarmed. He didnât even change out of his shoes. He simply ran straight into Larissaâs bedroom.
Larissa had an early fight the next morning, so she had an early dinner, showered, and was currently in bed with a face mask on.
Kevanâs sudden intrusion startled Larissa, leaving her in a state of shock Reacting sw thy, she abruptly got up, causing the face mask to slip down her face-all the essence on the face mask was now on her sheets, In a panicked slate, Larissa quickly picked it up and took some tissues to wipe away the essence.
Once she was done, she asked, âWhy are you in such a rush?â
The moment Kevan saw her in a face mask, he knew he had misunderstood. Il someone were to escape, they wouldnât be dressed in
pajamas with a lace mask on like her.
Soon, his pounding heart returned to normal. Then, he casually asked. âAre the suitcases by the entrance yours?â
âYes.â Only then did Larissa remember that she hadnât informed him.
Tm going to Bartham for a business trip tomorrow, and I be there for a week.â
âOne week? Why so long? Kevan was unhappy, He linaly made the decision to get along with her after taking Dylanâs advice. Now that she was going to be away for a week, how could he implement his plan?
âI was assigned to train the Regal Dynasty Hotelâs housekeeping department.â
Kevan saw the news today and knew why she was sent to train them. Since he couldnât stop her, the only way to solve this was
âI have some business in Dartham tomorrow. There have been some developments at the Microworks Corporation heade uarters. What
time is your light? Iâll go with you.â
Kevanâs request to get a plane ticket for him in the middle of the night was not an unfamiliar occurence for Fred Jamal, his secretary. Despite the late hour, Fred had grown accustomed to such demands.
Just as he was about to conclude the conversation aller confirming the flight delais, he heard Kevanâs voice again.
âThis time, book me a seat in the economy class.â
Fred was alarmed and thought, âWhy is the boss suddenly so frugal? Is our company going bankrupt?â
