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

Because they were watching the same movie, Larissa's group of three met Allen and Freddy in the theater a few minutes later. Allen and Freddy's seats were in the row in front of them.It was unsure if it was due to Allen and Freddy getting a huge blow earlier outside, or if they were trying to avoid the attention of the other audience. But when they passed by in front of Larissa, they did not stop at all.The lights turned off quickly.Allen and Freddy vanished in the dark, and Larissa could no longer see them.Disnie movies were suitable for all ages, so the plot would be a bit childish for adults. Larissa only watched halfway before she fell asleep.She was woken by Aster. When she woke up, the movie was already finished. The lights in the theater were bright.The seats in the rows below them were all empty. A few cinema staff were cleaning up the trash row by row.Aster stood in front of Larissa. He was still hugging the popcorn bucket that was not finished. He was frowning h

Kevan's answer was not surprising. "No."Larissa angrily screwed shut the cap of the moisturizer bottle before sitting on the bed resignedly.Kevan sat near her and put her leg onto his lap.Larissa's skin was fair. It was a little red from the steam from the bathroom as she had just finished showering.Kevan's eyes darkened slowly. His normally cold fingers had grown warm due to his boiling blood. His palm rubbed circles into her ankle. The force he used was just right. Although there would be a bit of pain from his rubbing, it was still better than the "abuse" Lewis gave her that afternoon."Hey, did you learn this from someone?" Larissa was curious. She had wanted to ask for a while now, but she never found the chance to."Nope." Kevan smiled. "You ever heard of practice makes perfect?"Larissa froze for a moment. It was not difficult to figure out what he meant. But the moment she thought of the horrible things he went through, she could not help but shudder. Her heart actua

Kevan's fingertips had calluses on them, probably from long-term typing. When they brushed over Larissa's skin, electricity raced through her body from that point of contact.Larissa's face was so red, and she could not help but move a bit.Kevan thought that he wanted to pull her leg away, so he quickly grabbed her ankle. "Don't move." He lowered his voice. "The medicine is not absorbed into your skin yet. It'll rub onto the sheets."Larissa stilled at once. She was very stiff as she replied quietly, "Okay." Then, she looked down and unknowingly picked at the sheets, causing deep wrinkles in the cloth.Kevan gazed at the top of her head as he controlled his urge to touch it. He changed to a lighter topic. "How was your first day at Blue Star? Okay?""Yeah, it wasn't bad." Larissa's fingers moved from the bed to her back. She rubbed at the place that ached. "It's just that I sat for the whole day, and it didn't feel so good."She used to work in a hotel, so she rarely sat down fo

Aster began nagging her again. "We told you to wear a down jacket, right? But you didn't listen! With how thin your outfit is, what are you going to do if you catch a cold!"Bloody hell, this tone, and attitude—the kid had copied Wendy perfectly.Larissa ignored him and quickly walked to the car. Kevan had unlocked the car earlier, so she entered the car. The thermostat was off in the car, but it was still warmer than outside.Kevan led Aster into the car. He was doing everything at a super casual pace. He also opened the car window on his side just a little bit, and the winter wind blew in through this crack. It all smacked onto Larissa's face.Larissa sneezed several times loudly.Kevan glanced at her through the rearview mirror, but he still said nothing."Can you close the window?" Larissa rubbed her itchy nose as she tried to discuss with Kevan. She lost all her patience because of the cold winds, and her voice was unfriendly.Kevan denied her righteously. "There's no air c
