Chapter 868
Sweet Subterfuge
It took some time to drive back into the center from the airport. In the middle of It, Lewis met up with a subordinate and told him to low Larissaâs car away from the motel When they reached Maple Hotel, it was already 3 am. There were no hotel guests in the lobby, only uniformed hotel stall waiting for guests to show up The doorman was about to help guide them kindly when Larissa waved him off and explained their reasons for coming. Iâm looking for your hotelâs Administrative Manager, Wendy.â
The smile on the doormanâs lace frone up as he backed away alertly. He anxiously caled for the lobby manager to come.
As âoldiesâ al the hotel Industry, Larissa naturally had met the lobby manager quite a len limes. The manager recognized Larissa and asked her. âWhat brings you here?â
âIâm looking for Wendy,â Larissa replied.
The lobby manager was aware of Larissaâs friendship with Wendy, so he helped Larissa get a room card from the front desk. âJust head up. I donât know if Wendyâs awake already or not though.â
Larissa jogged the whole way to Wendyâs room. Her andety was firmly there and did not disappear until she was sure that Wendy was okay.
The room door opened, and the room was dark. The cardholder already had a room card, so Larissa turned on the warm orange lights in the entryway that lit up the room.
The thick and scht carpet silenced Larissaâs footsteps, so her racing heartbeat and heavy breathing were rather obvious in the quiet.
There was a humanâshaped bulge under the middle of the big white bed. Larissa llbloed over and managed to see Wendyâs lace using the weak light from the entryway.
Larissa stood by the side of the bed, shakily reaching out. Even though she knew she was being paranoid. she sell carefully checked Wendyâs breathing.
Wendyâs breathing was light but drawn out. It clearly showed that she was line now. Larissa held her chest and sat at the head of the bed. All the energy that had been supporting her all this time vanished at once.
Kevan was guarding the door, When he heard nothing, he poked his head around the corner of the entryway. is Wendy okay?â
âWell Larissa had no idea if Wendy was really okay. âSheâs alive. Iquess.â
Kevan was struck silent by her answer. Then he asked, âWant to take Wendy away?â
âNo.â
The hotel was sale enough. To âmoveâ Wendy back home was only creating more trouble than reeded.
âIll stay here with her.â
Lewis had sent Aster to Garyâs anyway. Larissa had no reason to rush home.
âFine.â Keven did not object. âTill go downstairs and get another room. Itâll be next door to you. Just call me if you need anything.â
Larissa pressed her lips together as she stared slently at Kevan with a complicated expression in her eyes.
âWhatâs wrong? Kevan asked.
âThank you.â Al of Larissaâs feelings ended up turning into these two words.
Kevanâs face darkened angrily though. âIll give you another chance lo speak properly.â
Larissa frowned as she thought about it. Then, she slowly said, â5 Sony?â
Kevanâs lace grew even darker. He turned and tell wiroul saying anything.
