Chapter 707
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissa had a headache. She wasnât good at handling this sort of thing. Allen did not even confess to her. Thus, she didnât have the opportunity to even reject him.
Im not mad, thereâs no need to apologize.â
âSince Iâm taking ever a new role, fll be too busy to meet up.â
From her message, it was obvious that Larissa was trying to create some distance between them.
After a long while, Alen finally replied. âText me when you reach home.â
Larissa turned off her phone and shut her latigued eyes.
Lewis asked out of concern. âDo you need me to handle this for you?â
In shock, Larissa woke up and waved her hands. âThereâs no need!â She did not want to bother Lewis with such a trivial matter, Lewis glanced at her and said. âIl you need my help, just ask for it.â
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already very late, and Larissaâs attending coctor had already left. Seeing Larissa, some of the nurses who were acquainted with her gave her a warm welcome.
âWhy did you return so late at night?â
âDr. John has been worried sick about you! He was concerned that you might not be able to make it for your rehabilitaticr âBy the locks of your gait your leg is almost fully recovered. It wouldnât take long for you to be discharged.â
âWhat a shame! After you leave the hospital we wonât be able to see that tall handsome man anymore!â
The tal and handsome man they were referring to wasnât Lewis, as they all knew his name. The other tall and handsome person who appeared in her ward could only be Kevan.
âDid you fly back to meet him?â
âWow! You few thousands of miles just to meet your beloved. Thatâs so romantic?
âDid you two do the deed yet?â
âHow is his technique?
âTake it easy, as your leg is still not yet fully recovered!â
Aldovians were very openâminded about stuff in the bedroom. The nurses talked about it without even blushing red.
Larissa was unable to answer their questions and quickly slammered an excuse before lleeing the scene.
When she entered the ward, her phone rang. The person calling her was the fall and handsome man referred to by the nurses. Larissaâs throat tightened inexplicably when she remembered the embarrassing questions that she was bombarded with just now, âHello?â Her voice shook when she picked up the call, Kevan noticed something off about Larissaâs voice and asked anulously. âWhatâs wrong?â
âItâs nothing. I hit my hand just now.â Larissa chuckled dryly âDoes it hurt?â
âFor a moment, but Iâm line now.â
Keanâs voice returned to his usual calm and composed lone, âAre you back at the hospital?â
âYes.â
âDo you feel uncomfortable anywhere?â
At this point, both of them had nothing else to say. St1L, they did not want to hang up ellher.
Larissa book a deep breath and said. âI gave in my resignation today.â
Kevan grunted and replied. âI heard from Lewis. He told me that you will be taking over Blue Star Shipping.â
âYes.â Larissa was fretting at another lull in the conversation as she didnât know what else to say to Kevan when he suddenly spoke up.
âWhy?â
