Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 752
After Kevan sent Aster to school, he came back to the car. When he got in, his gaze drifted to Larissa, who was sitting in the backseat. She was staring blankly out the window while leaning against the door. He did not know what she was thinking about.She seemed to be like this all the way from home as long as Aster was not talking to her."What's wrong?" Kevan asked her.Larissa snapped out of it and forced a smile. "Just figured something out.""What?" Kevan was a little stunned."Nothing." Larissa shook her head before changing the topic to Kevan himself. "How long are you going to stay here this time?""I haven't decided." Kevan started the car. He looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Why?""Just asking." Larissa casually wrote it off before looking out the window in silence again.Kevan shoved down all the questions in his heart, but his worry just could not disappear. When did this change in Larissa happen? Kevan tried to recall carefully. It seemed to b

Kevan quickly got out of the car to open the door for Larissa. He also made sure to give her his arm.Using his arm, Larissa stepped steadily on the floor.She had made a rare change to her usual working heels—they were her "combat heels"—as both Kevan and Asterhad forced her to wear a pair of warm Ugg loafers instead.Thank goodness the trousers she had chosen were long enough. It was just enough to hide the loafers that clashed with her overall style.Kevan stood in front of her. He bent down and helped her zip up her knee-length down jacket until her neck was covered up."It's cold out," he said. When he saw her annoyed frown, he soothed her like a child. "Be good."Larissa immediately looked away, her face red. She did not dare to look at him.After a night of rest combined with the application of medicine from Kevan as well as a massage, the swelling at Larissa's ankle had shrunk. Still, she could not use too much force when walking.She did not let Kevan send her up, but

Larissa's colleagues had different expressions on their faces. Their attitudes to her were different too.The male colleagues were quite friendly. Some smiled at her, some nodded, and some waved too. Although the female colleagues were smiling, their smiles did not reach their eyes. Larissa could even see some obvious hatred on their faces.She did not know where the hatred came from—her role was not the same as theirs, she would not threaten their positions at all. As for her appearance … Well, it was no match for theirs either.Larissa could only pretend that she had not seen anything. She just pretended to be a dummy and treated everyone politely.Lewis' office was next to Gary's, and it was at the innermost part of this floor.Gary's secretary, who had greeted her before, still recognized her. The moment she saw her, she stood up at once. Her greeting was still friendly despite her panic. "Are you looking for Mr. Logan Senior?"Larissa processed this title. "Mr. Logan Senior"

Lewis helped Larissa out of his office, then he put the documents nicely on her desk."Marilyn." He turned to call her. "Do you have extra pens and notebooks? Let Larissa have some."Marilyn took out the things he wanted from her drawer before she delivered the things to Larissa's desk. "Just stick with these for now. If you don't like them, I'll ask for more from the administrative department.""I like them, thanks." Larissa accepted the pens and notebooks.Lewis rapped on Larissa's desk and instructed her. "If you don't know anything, just go to my office and ask me."He spoke in Caldorian with her. Marilyn did not understand, so she just stared at them curiously with her large green eyes.Sensing Marilyn's gaze, Lewis asked, "Is there a problem?"Marilyn shook her head quickly. "No! Not at all!" She quickly returned to her workplace.…Larissa read the documents Lewis gave her seriously. She scanned them all. They were recent reports and statements from each department.Sh

Marilyn went to the cafeteria to get two lunches. When she was waiting for the elevator, she happened to meet people from the presidential office.There were some who she was friendlier with. They deliberately leaned in and asked her, "Marilyn, do you know the background of that new assistant?"Marilyn's predecessor, Gary's previous secretary, was fired because she leaked his private information by accident. She was unable to find a job in Westonia because Gary purposely made sure that she would not be able to. Having no other choice, she went back to her hometown.Learning this lesson, Marilyn always kept her mouth shut whenever it came to Gary or Lewis' private lives."No idea," she said.Someone noticed that she was carrying two trays."Who are you bringing lunch to?"Because Mr. Logan Senior and Junior's lunches were arranged to come from high-end restaurants, they naturally thought that it was for "that new assistant."The elevator happened to arrive then. Marilyn entered

But there were definitely those who came over to "kiss up" to Larissa too, like the busty blonde with blue eyes Larissa met in the elevator that morning.She naturally hooked herself onto Larissa's other arm and introduced herself before Larissa could react. "Hi, Larissa, darling. I'm Judy Turner."Her perfume smelled worse than the medicine Larissa used. Larissa sneezed because of that.Judy swiftly let go and stepped aside, afraid that Larissa's snot would hit her. Judy let out a light tsk as she took out a tissue. She carefully wiped the hand that touched Larissa before along with the bag that hung on that same arm.Seeing the way Larissa and Marilyn were staring at her with a complicated look in their eyes, Judy smiled falsely at Larissa and apologized. "Sorry, honey, I'm a bit of a clean freak."Larissa could understand. After all, she would soon be together with the world's biggest clean freak."It's alright." She smiled with a look on her face that screamed "I don't mind."

Aster and Freddy were in the same kindergarten. Because they were half a year apart, they studied in different class groups.They did not have much interaction in school. They would greet each other and chat a little on the rare chance they met each other when going to school and going home after school.However, these little interactions were gone ever since the unhappy incident from before.Larissa did not know how she should react.Aster's little act of revenge was definitely childish, and should not be encouraged. But she could totally understand his extreme sensitivity. Besides, it was not like Aster's goal was to hurt anyone. So, she rubbed his head and smiled resignedly as she asked, "Are you happy now?"Aster nodded hard. "Yep! Freddy won't ever say that I don't have a daddy anymore!"Larissa's heart ached immediately. "Yeah!" She pressed her lips tightly together and forced back the tears that she could feel were coming.Kevan had missed their conversation. When he got

When Allen locked eyes with Kevan, he could not help but shudder. After standing in place for half a minute, Allen finally walked over to Larissa.Freddy was a bit timid. He kept hiding behind Allen. No one knew if it was because of the unhappy incident with Aster before or because of something else."What a coincidence, you're here to watch movies too?" Afraid that Freddy and Allen thought that she was still holding a grudge, Larissa took the initiative to talk to them."Freddy's class is going to have a stage play. It will be based on this movie, so I canceled his piano class tonight." Allen was talking to Larissa, but he kept glancing at Kevan. Finally, he could not help but ask, "This is?"Larissa knew that he would ask, but she had not yet prepared the answer to this question. However, before she could speak, Aster could not help but quickly announce, "This is my daddy!" His smug tone was obvious.Kevan smiled warmly and held Aster tighter in his arm.Although Allen had he
