âCant | be curious? Lewis reached out to grab his phone when he saw that Larissa refused to say it. âIf you donât tell me, Iâll call Marilyn
right now
Larissa hurriedly stole his phone from him and gave In helplessly. âIâll say it! Donât make things hard for Marilyn!â
Lewis smirked victoriously and waited for Larissaâs answer.
âThe guy I was talking about Larissa sucked in a deep breath as she prepared for hersell to be âkilledâ
by Lewis. âIs you.â
Lewisâ face showed that he knew it. Yet, he wasnât particularly unhappy. âWhere did you get this conclusion from?â He asked her earnestly. âI donât remember ever being interested in guys in front of you.â
âBut you never showed interest in women in front of me either!â Larissa fired back at him. âLook at you, Youâre almost forty, and you still donât have a girfriend. How could people not overthink things then?â
Lewisâ face darkened. He defended himself âJust because I donât have a girlfriend now doesnât mean I didnât use to have them.â
âThen why did you stop female employees from liking you?â Larissa argued.
âBecause it will affect my work.â Lewisâ eye twitched as he recalled how those women tried to seduce him. His temples ached,
He continued. âComing randomly into my ollice to pour me coffee and give me snacks. Some even got naked and jumped at me. If it were
you, could you stand it?â
Larissa imagined it. âNope.â Her emotions died quicky. âBut-havenât you decided to find someone to get married yet?â
âWhy are you the same as those naggy relatives now? Lewis scored her. âI never pressed you to lind a partner. Yet, here you are.
pressing me to get one!â
âIâm not pressing you to get a partner! I care about you!â Larissa corrected him. âSince my dad has all the free time in the world to arrange blind dates for me, why doesnât he arrange some for you? No, Iâve got to talk to him about this!â
âHold it right there! Lewis stopped her as he began to beg for mercy. âMy dear cousin, leave it, please?
Itâs not time for me to marry yet, and Iâm not in a hurry. Uncle Gary finally left me alore to focus on you.
Just let me have some time to myself and take a break, huh?â
âSo you want me to lake all the attacks for you? Larissa raised an eyebrow,
âDonât you have Mr. Rogers? He wonât let you take all the attacks. Donât worry.â Lewis was confident in Kevan, âOh, by the way, thereâs something I need to tell you. I forgot about it because of you and Marilyn.â
Although Larissa thought the way Lewis changed topics was a bit stiff, she still let him speak. âWhat is it?â
âI met your friend when I was paying earlier, Asterâs godma.â
âWendy?â Larissa was surprised.
âYeah, her.â Lewis nodded. âShe recognized me and said hello to me.â
Larissaâs curiosity grew. Wendy should be very busy during these few days. She did not even have time to come home. Why would she come all the way here to eat?
âWas she alone? Did you tell her that I was here? Larissa asked.
âThere was a man with her. They must have been together. But I donât know if there was anyone else. I told her you were here, and her reaction â hmm how to say was a bit panic end? She did not seem comfortable either. She said she needed to accompany her friend. and decided not to find you.
âIâm not familiar with her, so I didnât ask much.â Lewis said.
