Chapter 961
Sweet Subterfuge
âWhat do we do now? Wait for him to leave or call the police?â
Wendy sat on the floor like Larissa, her back against the wall where the door was.
She paid attention to all and any sounds from the outside.
âLetâs wait first. Larissa had some considerations.
Their apartment buildingâs security was stellar.
Normally, nonâresidents could never get in.
Larissa was afraid that Kevan might have come backâhe had done this sort of thing before anyway, secrelly coming to Westonia without telling her.
But she did not dare to just go out as well.
After all, there were so many dangers hidden around her, so she could not let down her guard.
The heavy footsteps grew closer and closer, and Larissaâs heart began to race faster, When the footsteps sounded outside her room door, Larissaâs heart was almost going to burst out of her chest.
She held her breath and typed to Wendy to tell her not to talk. âThat guyâs right outside my door, I think,â
Wendyâs expression on her phone screen was equally just as terrilled, Larissa sent another message.
âIf something happens to me, call the police at once.â
Wendy nadded furiously while covering her mouth.
However, the next second, Larissa heard Lewis ask, âLari, are you in there?â
âFuck!â While she was sighing in reliel, Larissa nearly smashed her phone in anger. âNo need to call the police, itâs my cousin.â
Larissa ended the video call and got up from the floor to open the door.
âI thought you werenât coming anymore.â Larissa glared at Lewis with annoyance. âWhy didnât you tell me that you were coming?â
âYou just donât need to work at the company anymore. But youâre still in danger since the mole hasnât been caught,â Lewis said.
Larissa soon accepted her fate of always needing to be âprotectedâ by Lewis and she asked. âDid you need something since you came to me so late?â
âI saw that your room light was still on, so I came over to remind you to sleep early.â Lewis rubbed her head and said seriously. âDonât forget that you still need to work from home. You canât stay up too late.â
Larissa angrily slammed the door shut. âGood. Byer On the first day after being firedâ, Larissa slept until she woke up naturally. She dragged Wendy to shop at the supermarket before going to their previous apartment to help Wendy pack her things.
Wendy had not gone back to Caldor for several years. This time, having decided that she would go back, Wendyâs emotions did not change.
âI donât think I have anything I want to bring.â She stood in her bedroom and stared at her clothes.
Her brain was empty.
âThen donât bring anything. Buy new ones when we get back to Caldor.â Larissa was also scared of trouble.
Dragging a whole load of luggage with them to catch a flight was definitely troublesome.
In the end, Wendy only packed a few sets of clothes that she wore frequently, brought her laptop, and left everything else behind in the âDo you want to rent out this apartment? Larissa asked her, âIf you want to we can lind a moving company to move all your stuff to my place.â
âNope.â Wendy shook her head. âI donât need that money. This apartment has our memories of several years here. I donât want strangers coming over to ruin it,â
Larissa gave Wendy a look, âAh, thatâs a very nice thing to say, but youâre just too lazy to clean up, right?â Wendy glared at her and snapped, âYou just know how to bitch at me all the fucking time! Just shut up!â
