Although Kevan did not stay over at Larissa's house anymore, he appeared at her doorstep promptly the following day. He brought a delicious breakfast from the hotel. While enjoying breakfast, Wendy praised Kevan continuously, "Mr. Rogers, you are the best man on earth! If you didn't have someone you love already, I would definitely go all out to pursue you!" After hearing her compliments, Kevan seemed to be in a good mood, and his attitude toward her improved. "Ms. Simmons, what would you like for breakfast tomorrow? I'll have the hotel prepare it." Larissa rolled her eyes discreetly as she bit into her crispy bacon. Wendy did not hold back and rattled off a list of dishes. Lastly, she added meaningfully, "Mr. Rogers, if you ever need my help, feel free to let me know." Kevan smiled and nodded. "Alright." Aster couldn't get used to Kevan's absence and complained throughout the car ride. He only stopped after Larissa insisted firmly. As usual, Kevan would drop Aster off at

Larissa and Marilyn were unaware. The others didn't seem surprised by Lewis' decision.Larissa and Marilyn were prepared to take notes and had their notebooks ready. On the way to the conference room, they were surprised to see colleagues pass by empty-handed."What's going on?" Larissa glanced at Marilyn with a questioning look.Once everyone was seated, Lewis entered the room. He closed the door and scanned the room before walking to his seat. Larissa was feeling puzzled over Gary's absence from the department meeting. She heard Lewis speak, "I've received your resignation letters." Startled, Larissa widened her eyes. Marilyn, who was next to her, had a similar expression. The others either stared defiantly at Lewis or looked down with a guilty expression. "This doesn't have to go through Mr. Logan Senior. I can tell you now. I've approved your resignation letters. Furthermore, I've informed the human resources department. They will handle your resignation procedures this

In this weaponless war, Larissa initially believed she and Marilyn were the sole outsiders.As she listened to their conversation, she realized they were responsible for the situation. She was the source of conflict, and Marilyn was the one who caused Judy to resign. In order to not be the target of public criticism, Larissa grabbed Marilyn's hand and took their things from the table. She lowered her head and tried to leave as inconspicuously as possible. Before they got to the door, several people blocked their way. "You must be feeling proud now, aren't you?" Nina Swan, the female colleague who challenged Lewis, led the group. Her attitude was as rude as ever. She was bigger than Larissa. Although she wasn't as tall, her imposing manner was still intimidating. Larissa had been through many crises in her life. Although she wouldn't go out of her way to look for trouble, she wasn't scared of subordinates who tried to give her attitude. "Yes, I am proud." She straightened h

"It's a little sore, but I'll be fine in a while. It's too much to go to the infirmary for this." Marilyn waved her hands and looked at her watch. She added, "It's time for lunch. I need to deliver lunch to Mr. Logan Senior and Junior. Would you wait here for me? I'll come and find you afterward." Larissa pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit down. "You will probably scare them if you deliver lunch looking like this," she teased Marilyn. Marilyn's face flushed with embarrassment. She covered her cheek with her hand. "What should I do? I can't just ask them to get their meals themselves, right? You might end up as the only employee of the presidential office, apart from Mr. Logan." She peeked at Larissa through her fingers. "I'll go deliver their lunch. You stay here and wait. I'll be back soon." Larissa patted her shoulder. The hotel only delivered lunch at the entrance of the presidential office. Larissa had to pick it up, which meant walking across the entire o

"Slapped in your stead? What do you mean?" Gary's pleasant expression immediately darkened when he heard this. Larissa told him what happened in the conference room in an exaggerated manner. Finally, she got to the point, "Marilyn has been so helpful to me. Can we give her a raise?" "Sure." As long as it didn't involve Kevan, Gary always agreed to Larissa's requests. "I will inform the HR department later. Marilyn's salary will be raised by 10%." Larissa gave him a bear hug. "Thanks, Dad!" Gary burst into laughter, his eyes crinkling. He patted her hand and said, "I haven't had the chance to talk to you recently. Now that you've been in Blue Star Shipping for some time, how do you find the work? Is it difficult?" Larissa glanced at Lewis and said proudly, "With Lewis around, what difficulties could I possibly have?" "That's good to know." Gary seemed relieved. "You know that my health is declining. Dr. Smith has been telling me for years to step down and rest. "However, I

Nina's slap was hefty, whereas Marilyn's skin was fair and delicate. After half an hour, the mark on her face hadn't faded. It seemed to become redder and more swollen. Before lunch break ended, Larissa rejected her suggestion of covering it up with foundation. She dragged Marilyn to the infirmary without hesitation. The doctor prescribed an anti-inflammatory ointment, but it couldn't be applied directly. Marilyn had to remove her makeup first. Marilyn grabbed Larissa's hand desperately, almost begging on her knees. "I'll apply when I get home. I'll put on a thick layer. Would that work?" Everyone has the desire to look beautiful. Although Larissa didn't care much for makeup, she could understand if others were reluctant to remove it. "Alright, make sure you apply it properly tonight! Otherwise, the swelling might not go down." "Okay!" Marilyn nodded. The entire afternoon at the presidential office was spent in chaos. Employees transferred from other departments arrived

Lewis was Gary's executive assistant and the backbone of the entire presidential office. Apart from Marilyn, he oversaw the work of everyone in the department. They all reported their work to him. Thus, he knew each person's job scope and progress like the back of his hand. It was as if he was doing the work himself. Handing over tasks to a dozen people was time-consuming and difficult. However, when it came to Lewis, he completed his work in fast motion. Everything progressed at double speed. Before the end of the day, the presidential office had resumed normal operations. After resolving all the issues, Lewis stretched his sore back and pounded it sporadically with his arm. Larissa looked up and offered without hesitation, "Do you need me to help with that?" She said that out of instinct. She had forgotten to maintain her distance from Lewis. The words had left her mouth when she snapped back to reality. Flustered, Larissa looked at Marilyn who was sitting across from her.

Larissa was about to reply when Marilyn grabbed her wrist. She replied instead, "I accidentally hit my leg on the table and bruised it. Larissa went to the infirmary and got some ointment for me. She was reminding me to apply it when I get home." Lewis nodded and said coolly, "I see. Be careful next time." "Alright," Marilyn responded in a soft tone. Larissa glanced at Marilyn and noted that her face had turned redder than when Nina slapped her on the cheek earlier. Larissa bid them farewell at the entrance. Marilyn immediately spotted Kevan's car. "Is your driver coming to pick you up again?" she asked. Hesitating for a moment, Larissa noticed Lewis' attempts at suppressing a smile. "Yes, I'm going now!" Larissa replied with difficulty and waved goodbye. The next moment, she turned back. "Mr. Logan Junior, could you send Marilyn home? Since she hurt her leg, driving would be inconvenient for her." As soon as she said this, Marilyn's face flushed red. She waved her h
