Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 810
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

It was a weekday night, so many people were at the supermarket. Most of them were like Larissa. They had just finished work and were there to buy groceries for dinner. Aster was too old to sit in the shopping cart. He held Larissa's hand and followed closely behind Kevan, who was pushing the cart in front. Larissa rarely went to the supermarket. This chain supermarket was huge. She often felt lost whenever she entered. She had to rely on the staff's guidance to find what she wanted. Therefore, Larissa decided to use her usual strategy and asked for help from a store employee. However, before she could open her mouth, Aster interrupted her, "Mommy, you don't have to ask for directions! Daddy knows where everything is! He is so amazing! He memorized where everything was the first time he brought me here!" Aster's face was filled with admiration for Kevan. Although Aster did not show any disdain for her, Larissa still felt embarrassed by his words. She apologized to the store em

Larissa coughed loudly and cleared her throat. Finally, Wendy realized that they were at the door. In a hurry, she turned off the video call and complained to Larissa, "Why didn't you make a sound when you entered?" "I just made a sound, didn't I?" Larissa changed into house slippers and came up to Wendy. Grabbing her arm, she asked enthusiastically, "Is he coming to Westonia tomorrow?" Frowning, Wendy pulled her arm away and pushed Larissa with disdain. "It's none of your business! Go and help Mr. Rogers to prepare dinner! I'm starving!" However, Larissa didn't leave. "He just went home a few days ago, and now he's already flying back! Looks like he is really interested in you, Ms. Simmons!" She poked Wendy with her elbow and winked playfully. "You better seize this opportunity. Men like him are rare!" "Get lost! There's nothing between us. Stop spouting nonsense!" Wendy kicked her in frustration. Larissa chuckled and continued provoking her, "When are you going to introduce

The atmosphere at the table was usually cheerful. Aster and Wendy were die-hard fans of Kevan. They showered him with praise and compliments on everything he did. Fortunately, Kevan was used to such attention. Throughout dinner, he remained calm and did not let their praises get to his head. Larissa disapproved of their flattery and refused to associate with them. She lowered her head and focused on shoving food into her mouth. Larissa did not engage in any conversation that was unrelated to her. Halfway through the meal, Kevan asked Wendy, "What time will your friend arrive tomorrow? I don't have much to do, so I can help you pick him up." Wendy had her mouth full of food at that moment. When she heard the question, she almost choked on her dinner. She quickly took some tissue and covered her mouth, coughing and sputtering. Larissa poured a glass of water for Wendy and patted her back to help her recover. After a long while, Wendy finally caught her breath. "No need to t

Larissa followed Kevan reluctantly into the kitchen. He closed the door yet again. "What happened to you just now?" He had his back to the door, blocking her escape. "What do you mean, just now? What's wrong with me?" Larissa was stunned by his question. "During dinner just now, you were lost in thought with a sad expression." Kevan reminded her. Larissa realized what he was referring to and felt flustered. She didn't want to tell him the truth, so she used Wendy as a shield. To make it seem more believable, she said with a pout. "I'm sad because Wendy won't bring her friend back to meet me. Even though we are best friends and I tell her everything … I didn't expect her to hide this from me." Kevan didn't seem the least bit suspicious. The tensed lines on his face softened, and he ruffled Larissa's hair affectionately. "Maybe she felt that it wasn't the right time to introduce him to her friends. Or … " He paused abruptly with a cold look in his eyes. "That man has someth

Larissa's unexpected actions caught Kevan off guard. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Sure." "I want to go too!" Aster exclaimed and jumped off the sofa, rushing toward Kevan. Wendy acted swiftly and caught Aster by the waist. She held him in her arms tightly. "Why are you going out so late at night? It's cold outside. You might catch a cold!" Aster struggled to escape, but Wendy glared at him and threatened in a low tone, "If you struggle any longer, I will not take you to McRonald's behind your mother's back again!" Aster settled down immediately. Wendy shot a smile at Larissa and Kevan. "I will take care of Aster. Don't worry. Larissa, take your time in sending Mr. Rogers off. If you don't want to come back home, it's fine too." Larissa shot her a glare, signaling for her to shut up. She grabbed Kevan's hand and said, "Let's go." Larissa's apartment faced the street, with the main road just outside. Kevan's car was parked by the roadside, less than six feet from the

Larissa's heart was pounding rapidly. A sense of fear surged within her whenever she thought about what she would say. Larissa felt a strong urge to retreat. However, she had finally gathered the courage to make this decision. She didn't know when she would muster up the courage to attempt once more if she missed this opportunity. Larissa closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Previously, you said you would give me a week to consider. The week has passed." She had been counting the days for the past week. When her week was up, she spent the entire day in torment, waiting for Kevan to ask for her answer. However, it seemed as if he had forgotten about it. Until today, he hadn't brought it up. Larissa couldn't wait any longer. She didn't want to drag it out further. Kevan's eyes lit up, and he drawled, "Yes?" Lately, he had been enjoying his time with Larissa. Besides, she hadn't done anything that crossed his boundaries. Kevan didn't want to disrupt the harmonious atmosp
