Chapter 963
Sweet Subterfuge
During lunch, Marilyn called her and asked, âLarissa, what are you doing right now?â
Larissa swallowed her food and replied. âIâm having lunch. What about you?â
âIâm having lunch too.â Marilyn sounded sad. âI miss you so much, Larissa, Iâm so lonely without you at the company. No oneâs eating with me or chatting with me during lunch anymore, and thereâs no one to slack off with me at work by surfing the forums. Ahh Larissa felt a little regretful too as there were fewer chances to meet up with Marilyn. But she did not want to dampen the mood, so she gave Marilyn a pep talk. âYou can eat with other people.â
Although the presidential office had new people now, it was not hard for Marilyn to make friends with these people based on her personality.
Moreover, there were a few people who were close to Marilyn in age in the new batch. They would definitely find similar interests to talk about âBut theyâre not you.â Marilyn sounded unhappy. She sounded like she was close to crying.
Larissa did not expect Marilyn to have such deep feelings for her. She suddenly felt a little quilty.
Ever since leaving the company, she had not thought of Marilyn at all.
âMaybe â we can go out for a meal this Saturday? Larissa asked Marilyn, She was going to go back to Caldor soon, and she might not ever come back to Westonia.
Having a meal with Marilyn could be considered a proper goodbye.
âSure!â Marilyn agreed. âYou decide on the place then! I can eat anythingâ
âOkay.â Larissa ended the call after she comforted Marilyn a little bit more.
Lewis came home earlier today.
Larissa and Wendy were sitting on the couch playing on their phones.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, they jumped up from the couch with wide eyes as they stared at the door fearfully.
Lewis came back with a huge shopping bag in his hands. It was bulging with groceries. When he saw them in the living room, Lewis found it hilarious, but his expression remained unchanged.
âLarissa,â he called out in a deep voice.
âYes, sir!â Larissa immediately responded. Her voice was rather stiff.
Lewis put the shopping bag on the floor and changed his shoes. âBring this into the kitchen,â he instructed.
âYes, siriâ Larissa hurriedly ran over to bring the shopping bag into the kitchen.
Lewis finished changing his shoes, but Wendy was still standing there.
Her head was down, and her long hair hid her face so that no one could tell what expression she had on.
Her arms were hanging by her side, and her hands were clenched into fists.
One could tell that she was very nervous right now.
Lewis knew, of course, what Wendy was nervous about.
What happened last night was very sudden. He had only passed by her room when he was pulled Inside by her.
He was not familiar with her.
They had only met a few times but had barely talked to each other.
down, but he still could not help but stutter when he spoke.
â¦â¦â¦â¦..
She did not answer him though. She stabbed a linger at him and shouted angrily, âWhy are you like this? Where the heirs your fucking conscience?! Youâre just Uncle Garyâs nephew, how dare you fight Larissa for the family fortune?
âOld Uncle Gary raise you for so many years just to let you bully his daughter? You fucking ungrateful son of a bitch! How dare you come here? What are you planning right now? Iâm telling you Lewis Logan, since Iâm here, I wonât let you do anything to hurt Larissa! âIf you still have some selfâ
awareness, get the fuck out of here! Donât let me see you appear in front of Larissa again!â
