Chapter 272

Edmund had no clue about being discreet—perhaps due to his inherently carefree nature or simply not caring about external opinions. In the span of a single afternoon, he made two visits to Larissa's office. Although their interactions were work-related, Larissa could easily discern through the transparent glass that several employees from the marketing department had been stealing glances and peeking inside during their breaks.

Larissa purposely left the blinds open and even left the door slightly ajar to avoid any misconceptions, showcasing her innocence regarding Edmund. However, he remained completely oblivious to all of this.

Their conversation carried on until the end of the workday. Edmund was aware that Larissa resided in the hotel, so he took the opportunity to invite her to have dinner together. Feeling helpless, Larissa had no choice but to decline, citing her desire to lose weight and skip dinner. Edmund didn't suspect anything and merely displayed a hint of disappointment.
