The taped box was about the size of three to four shoe boxes together. But there was no sight of the express bill.Only a sticky note was pasted on it with Larissa's name and department handwritten on it. The handwriting didn't ring a bell. She couldn't guess who the sender was.Instead of dwelling on that question, she opened the box.Soon, she noticed that something was off.It seemed like someone had removed the tape and stuck it back again. She didn't use much strength to remove it.Larissa wondered if it was the sender's mistake or if someone else had opened it before she did.After throwing the tape into the trash can, she opened the box.There was a bunch was stuff in it.There was a cushion pillow, a neck pillow, a small blanket, and some snacks. On top of that, there were also cartons of orange juice too.Larissa could guess who the sender was the moment she saw the orange juice.Quickly, she took her phone out of the drawer and turned it on. She was swarmed by unr

Larissa glanced at it and placed it in the drawer.Marilyn exclaimed, "Larissa, why are you blushing? Is something wrong with the drink?"Larissa touched her burning cheeks. Given that Marilyn didn't know the reason behind her red cheeks, she nodded, "Yeah."Marilyn said, "That's weird. What can go wrong with orange juice? I can never understand you Caldorians."…Larissa finished reading the reports from Lewis in the afternoon. She concluded the data, planning to present a slideshow to Lewis tomorrow.When she was halfway through it, Judy approached her. "Larissa, our printer is out of service. Can I use yours?"There were two printers in the shared space in the presidential office. One of them was the latest version. Anyone could use it because it had all the needed functions.The other one had basic functions only. According to Marilyn, it was once discarded but Gary didn't want to throw it away. Thus, it was placed on the only desk available.It was Larissa's desk, so sh

After checking the final file on her computer, Larissa was certain that her slideshow was missing.Furious, She threw the mouse away and rushed to Judy. She couldn't care less about the pain in her ankle.Judy motioned for Larissa to give her a moment because she was on the phone.With a grim expression, Larissa waited about five minutes until the call ended."What's the matter?" Judy looked at her innocently."Did you delete the slideshow from my computer?" Larissa cut to the chase.Judy wore a confused look. "I don't know. I did transfer my files from the USB driver to the desktop. I deleted everything after printing the documents. I might've deleted it by accident. I'm sorry, Larissa."She placed her palms together and tilted her head, trying to act cute. "Is it important? I can redo one for you." But there was no hint of apology in her words.Larissa would be an idiot if she couldn't tell that Judy deleted the slideshow on purpose."Sure." Larissa forced a smile. "Redo o

"What's with the commotion? Are you guys out of work to do?" Lewis warned coldly. Everyone froze. They were agitated for one second and went totally silent the next.Lewis walked over while everyone scattered away from Larissa and back to their seats. They buried themselves in their work, fearing meeting his eyes.Judy was flustered too. She wiped her tears off and slightly lowered her head. She sniffed loudly, drawing Lewis' attention.He frowned and questioned Larissa, "What happened?"She took a deep breath and kept her cool.She had never thought of catastrophizing things from the beginning, let alone letting Lewis and Gary find out about it.Otherwise, things would go out of hand."Judy and I had a disagreement about work. It was a small dispute." Larissa tried to make it sound as trivial as possible.However, the others took her compromise as a sign of guilt.Judy dipped her head lower wordlessly. Tears flowed down her cheeks again.There was a pool of tears on her de

Judy's sobs stopped very quickly. She let out a victorious smile."Larissa, it's not that I don't want to help you …" Judy acted like she was put in a difficult situation. "You heard Mr. Logan Junior … I'm sorry, darling. You'll have to do the slideshow yourself."Larissa stared at her coldly before looking away. She walked back to her workplace without looking back. She was scared that if she stayed any longer, she might slap Judy for real.Seeing Larissa come back with a dark face, Marilyn stopped herself from asking any questions. She did not dare to ask.Her workplace was rather far from Judy's, so she did not hear anything Larissa said when at Judy's workplace. She only knew that the commotion there was pretty big, and it alarmed Mr. Logan Junior, who normally never left his office during working hours.And from the look on Mr. Logan Junior's face when he came back, he did not seem too happy with whatever it was that had happened.…Larissa opened up the software and began

Afraid that Marilyn would wait too long, Larissa only worked overtime for half an hour. Then, she turned off her computer. She put the statements and reports that were not yet typed into the slideshow into her bag. She intended to finish the slideshow at home."Let's go," she said to Marilyn once she was packed."So soon?" Marilyn had been playing with her phone while waiting for Larissa. When she heard Larissa speak, she put down her phone in surprise."Yeah." Larissa smiled. "It's late, and I feel a little hungry.""Me too." Marilyn rubbed her stomach. Then, she walked over to Larissa and hugged her arm, and dragged her away quickly. "Let's go then!"…Marilyn must have been really hungry because she drove her car like crazy.Westonia was like Bartham. The traffic was awful. Marilyn's pink smart car was able to weave among the crowd size to its size. Soon, they reached Queensway.The restaurant they wanted to go to was on the main road of Queensway. It was a really obvious sh

"Here, warm your hands." Marilyn gave Larissa the cup. "I got someone to boil some water for you right now. So, there was a little delay."Larissa held the paper cup with both hands. The heat spread from her palms into her body. It made her hunched shoulders relax.She sighed in gratitude. If it were not for the fact that she would get stares from others, Larissa wished she could press the paper cup to her frozen cheek."If it weren't for you, I would've died," Larissa said to Marilyn. "I'm not even kidding."Marilyn stared at Larissa with those large eyes of hers. "What nonsense are you saying? I just asked too, by the way. The customers earlier are finished and they're paying right now. We'll be able to go in soon. You won't have to freeze any longer."This made Larissa come to life at once.As predicted, the waiter came to inform them that the table was ready for them less than five minutes later.The thermostat in the restaurant was turned up. It did not take long for Lariss

Larissa recognized that unique profile picture at once. The background was an endless night sky. There was a golden crescent moon in the middle of it with bright stars nearby.This was Aster's art homework from last week. According to him, the name of this painting was called "Mommy and Me." Larissa was like the gentle moon that was always by the little stars' sides.Larissa thought that the person who liked her post was Aster. Just as she was amazed by his speed, she was greeted by Kevan's name when she tapped into the notifications tab.It was not strange for Kevan to like her post. Yet, the fact that he used Aster's profile picture, one that had such a significant meaning, made her feel strange.Marilyn had already put down her phone and started eating. Every bite made her moan in satisfaction."Larissa! C'mon, try this! It's so good!"Larissa jolted as she looked away from Kevan's profile picture. "Sure." She smiled and shoved her phone back into her bag.She was anxious
