Chapter 754
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissaâs colleagues had different expressions on their laces. Their attitudes to her were different too.
The male colleagues were quite friendly. Some smiled at her, same nodded, and some waved too.
Although the female colleagues were smiling, their smiles did not reach their eyes. Larissa could even see some obvious hatred on their laces.
She did not know where the hatred came fromâher role was not the same as theirs, she would not threaten their positions at all. As for her appearance⦠Well, it was no match for theirs either.
Larissa could only pretend that she had not seen anything. She just pretended to be a dummy and treated everyone politely.
Lewis office was next to Garyâs, and it was at the innermost part of this floor.
Garyâs secretary, who had greeted her before, still recognized her. The moment she saw her, she stood up at once. Her greeting was still friendly despite her panic. âAre you looking for Mr. Logan Senior?
Larissa processed this title. âMr. Logan Seniorâ must be referring to Gary. So, she shock her head and pointed next door. âIâm looking for Mr. Logan Junior.â
The secretary rodded before asking. âDo you need me to make a call for you?â
Larissa shook her head again. âNo need, Iâve already made an appointment with him.â
âAlright.â The secretary smiled. âIf you need anything, you can find me any time. Iâm Marilyn White.â
âOkay, thanks. Marilyn,â Larissa also thanked the male employee who brought her over before she knocked on Lewisâ office door and entered.
The door had just closed when the male employee leaned over to Marilynâs desk to ask, âYou know this newbie?â
As Garyâs secretary, Marilyn was always a cold person. She frequently ignored many old employees, much less the new ones.
Regaining her usual cold face, Marilyn returned to her seat and did not even look up. âNone of your business.â
The male employee left timidly.
Lewis stopped working the moment he saw Larissa enter his office. He took two to three steps forward to support her, complaining as he did. âDidnât I tell you to call me so that I can go down and bring you up?â
Larissa was forced to sit on the couch in his ollice, and she felt resigned at his overreaction.
âItâs not like I canât walk Besides, I donât want your special care. Otherwise, our colleagues will think too much into itâ
She decided not to expose her identity until the day she officially took over the company. Otherwise, she would not be only shaming herself when she messed up somehow. She would shame Gary 100.
Lewis understood Larissaâs concerns. He pressed his lips lightly together and decided not to say anything else. He looked down at her ankle which was covered by her trousers.
âIs it better?â he asked.
Larissa lifted her trouser leg and showed him. âItâs much heller. Kevan massaged the swelling for me again this morning for ten minutes.â
Lewisâ expression became complicated. âHe slept at your place last night?â
âYes.â Sensing Lewisâshift in emotions, Larissa quickly added, âHe slept with Aster in analher room, donât overthink illâ
Lewis locked down and skloped this topic. âCome by later during break time in the alternoon. Iâll massage it for you again.â
Larissa said, âCkay,â before asking, âWhatâs my job scope? She desperately wanted to know.
âIn half an hour, Mr. Logan will have a weekly meeting with all the department heads. You must note down everything and understand the true state of the company. Alter that, there are these Lewis picked up a heavy stack of documents from his table.
âOkay.â Larissa quickly entered her work mode. She got up to accept the documents, but Lewis avoided her. âIl help you to bring them to your workplace.â
Larissa only remembered to ask, âWhereâs my workplace?â
Larissaâs position was âassistant to the president.â so she had a way lower rank than Lewis. That naturally meant that she did not have her own office. Her workplace was at a table outside Lewisâ
office. It was just across from Marilynâs. There was a path separating them.
