Chapter 552
Dylan hadnât contacted Larissa ever since the kidnapping incident. She found it strange and decided to check the guest room, only to find out that he had already checked out. Without his proactive contact, she had lost the opportunity to inquire about the progress of the case.
She had been diligently following the news for a few days but hadnât come across any relevant information. Perhaps this was the best outcome she could hope for, looking at it from a different perspective.
She was supposed to go to the airport to pick someone up at noon, but her meeting had been delayed, causing her to be nearly hall an hour late. She humiedly sent a message to the person, explaining her situation, and rushed off.
As she reached the lobby, she nearly bumped into Gary, who had just returned from outside.
He was dressed in a formal dark suit. She apologized and asked, âWere you out for business?â
He nodded in response. âI had a meeting with Mr. Leon from Soaring Corporation this morning, but we havenât reached an agreement yet.â He noticed Larissa was in a hurry and became somewhat curious.
âWhy are you in such a rush?â
Iâm heading to the airport to meet a client.â She glanced at her watch. âThe meeting ran late, and Iâm afraid I wonât make it in time.â
âLewis will give you a ride. He happens to be heading to the airport too.â Gary signaled Lewis with his eyes, and Lewis immediately responded, âMs. Seymour, my car is parked at the entrance.â
During this period, Larissa had been relying on public transportation and hadnât been driving herself.
Contacting a driver now would only mean more waiting time, and it wasnât easy to hall a taxi at this hour. So, she accepted Garyâs offer.
âThank you. Lewis.â She smiled at him.
She and Lewis werenât that close. Once they settled into the car, they hardly exchanged words except for the initial pleasantries Midway through the journey, her client had already landed in Bartham, She then arranged to meet her client at a specific location and repeatedly apologized for the delay.
Lewis arrived at the airport in the shortest possible time. And she was finally able to meet up with the client. Just as they were about to hail a taxi, her phone rang.
It was Lewis, with whom she had just parted ways moments ago.
âMs. Seymour, did you manage to pick up your client? Iâm still waiting for you at the spot where you got oll.â
She was a bit surprised. âDid you already finish what you needed to do?â
Lewis responded with a simple âYesâ and continued. âI can give you both a ride back to the hotel since itâs on my way.â
Well, Larissa gladly accepted the offer, since it was convenient. They retraced the steps back to where she got off, and sure enough, Lewis âcar was still there.
During the journey back, Lewis was no longer as taciturn as before. He took the initiative to ask Larissa, âThis is â?â
He glanced at the young woman sitting beside Larissa through the rearview mirror, and his scrutinizing gaze made her slightly
uncomfortable.
*This is Rena, the founder and CEO of Fairy Culture. The company specializes in social media operations, such as managing Twitterâs marketing accounts, public accounts, elc. You can reach out to her if your company has any needs in the area.â Larissa took the opportunity to introduce Rena and her company to Lewis.
Lewis displayed a peculiar expression the moment he heard the name âFairy Culture, causing Rena to lower her head and blush in embarrassment.
