Chapter 954
Sweet Subterfuge
Lewis had a suitcase he specifically used for business trips. There were a lew sets of clothes inside and some daily necessities. He always put this suitcase in his car, so he could leave at any time for any lastâminute business trips.
Now, this suitcase was serving its purpose.
Larissa arranged for Lewis to stay in another quest room, It was just next door to Wendyâs. Wendy had met Lewis a few times. Although they were not âamiliar with each other, they were not complete strangers either.
Wendy had nothing against Lewis coming. She also did not think that her life would be impacted as well. After all, Lewis and Larissa usually left early and came home late. They spent very little time with her at home.
âHave you guys had dinner? Wendy asked Lewis and Larissa before Lewis entered the guest room to clear it up for himself.
Lewis and Larissa had worked overtime and had just gotten home now. They had no lime to eat at all.
âIs there anything else left to eat here? Larissa had not felt hungry until Wendy asted her that.
She did leel a little hungry.
âNothing readyâmade. If you want to eat, fll cock some pasta or lasagna for you both?â
The caretaker Larisa hired was only in charge of Wendyâs daily meals.
She usually cc not make extra food.
Thankfully, the apartment had plenty of convenient foods that Larissa stockpiled on, so they would not go hungry.
âNo need for me.â Lews politely refused. He took his suitcase and entered the room. The door closed in Larissa and Wendyâs lace.
Wendy stuck out her tongue. After they had walked far away, she only complained quietly to Larissa.
âYour cousin is so cold! Previously when he came to have our steak dinner, he seemed rather Iriendly.
Why did he change so much alter only a short time?â
âItâs not too bad.â Larissa did not sense anything wrong as she was likely used to Lewisâ style of doing things. âItâs just that the companyâs having issues recently, so heâs probably in a bad mood.â
âOh.â Wendy expressed her understanding. âWatâthatâs not right!â She suddenly stopped walking. âIf your family companyâs got issues. why are you still walking around like nothingâs happening? Why arenât you worried?â
âWhat do I have to be worried about? When Larissa thought of the huge orders she would be negotiating for soon, she was so happy that she could barely wait for it to happen. âItâs just a smal issue, Iâll be solved soon.â Larissa believed in Lewisâ efficiency.
Although Lewis had said he did not need to eat, Wendy still made some lasagna for him. âTake it to your cousin.â Wendy passed the tray to Larissa.
Larissa huffed and teased her enviously. âWhy are you normally never this nice to me?â
Wendy pointed at the other bowl of lasagna and threatened Larissa. âIf you donât want to eat it, I throw it away.â
âSorry! Sorry!â Larissa apologized quickly due to Wendyâs âabuse. She also flattered Wendy. âYou are the best to met Youâre a pretty, kind, little fairy!â
Wendy roled her eyes with annoyance and just threw a âFuck off at Larissa. Therefore, Larissa âfucked off into Lewisâ room. Lewis was sitting at the desk, staring at the laptop staring at who knew what âAre you still working?â Larissa felt bad for him, and she fell quilty tooâHe was already having it so hard, but she could not help him at all âNo.â Lewis cucked his mouse. Im looking at the surveillance camera footage outside Uncle Garyâs office.â
âHavenât you already seen it? Larissa mowed closer as she put the tray down. âOr have you found some clues?â
âNot yet, so I need to go through it many more times. Lewis looked at the freshly conked lasagna on the tray. He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously. âThis issues because at work.â
