âI donât have much to do with it. It was just a coincidence that I met a friend at Thompson Medical, Turns out that she was Mr. Ackleyâs niece. She helped us secure the dealâ Larissa didnât dare to take credit for hersel
Lewis shut down his computer and muttered, âSuch coincidences donât just happen to anyone.â
Larissa agreed. âThatâs true.â
Gary sensed the underlying meaning behind Lewsâ werds. âAre you saying that all of this wasnât just a coincidence?â
Lewis didnât conlirm nor deny it. He said vaguely, âMaybe there is another person he cing us behind the scenes.â
Gary glanced at Lanssa, who looked puzzled. He kept his thoughts to himsel
âAlright, you both should go and rest now. Come home tomorrow night. The three of us will have a nice meal to celebrate. Gary stood up and waved them oft
Larissa was not in a rush to go home.
She had brought souvenirs from Bartham. She distributed them to her colleagues in the presidential office.
Although they were not familiar with Larissa, they accepted her gifts with gratitude.
Marilyn asked Larissa. âLarissa, is Bartham tun?â
âItâs not bad.â Larissa brought her some snacks from Bartham, as well as the coffee powder Marilyn had been craving for a long time.
âCoffee made from powder is nowhere near as good as coffee brewed in the coffee shop. When we have the chance, Iâll take you to Bartham for a real taste of their coffee!â
âSure! Marlyn held the snacks in her hand. She was eager to make a cup of coffee and taste it right away.
âSince you even had the mood to buy us gifts, it seems like your trip to Bartham must have been successful she teased Larissa, poking her with her e bow âThis has nothing to do with that, right? Larissa hesitated to tell the truth.
The collaboration between Blue Star Shipping and Thompson Medical was not announced officially.
Besides, there was a mole in the company.
For now, she had to follow Garyâs and Lewis lead to keep this a secret.
I had already planned to buy these gifts for you all anyway! No one knew that it was Kevanâs assistant who had actually purchased the gills.
At that moment, Lewis came out of his office and heard their conversation. âSo, you spent the past two days not at the hotel but buying these souvenirs?â
Larissa was puzzled by Lewis question. She thought that he knew where she had been.
From his expressionless lace. Larissa couldnât let whether he was joking or serious. She remained silent and did not respond.
Iâve never seen you being so proactive about work. We have been rejected by Thompson Medical. You did not spend time thinking about ways to resolve the situation, but you went at the way to the city center to buy souvenirs? Lewis gave Larissa a disapproving glance.
He picked up some snacks from Marilynâs table and looked at it with a dark expression or his face.
Throwing it back on the table, he snerred and walked away.
An awkward tension hung in the air.
It seems like Mr. Logan Junior is angry.â Marilyn commented cautiously.
Larissa stared at his retreating ligure for a long time before thally understanding what Lewis wanted to do.
Larissa lowered her head and said in frustration. âItâs all my fault I am so useless. I lolowed Mr. Logan Junior on a business trip, but
×× âLarissa, donât say that. You have only joined the company recently. Mr. Logan Juniorâs expectations were too high.
âYou are just an assistant. Thereâs nothing much you could do to influence the collaboration between two big companies.â Marilyn held Larissaâs hand and comforted her gently.
Larissa sighed deeply and said goodbye to Marilyn. Iâm going home now, See you tomorrow.â
Marilyn walked her to the elevator and reminded her, âDonât overthink things. Mr. Logan Juniorâs anger will probably subside tomorrow.â
