Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 907
Larissa had just arrived at her workplace when she got Lewis' phone call."I'm back in Westonia. Tell all department heads that there's a meeting one hour later.""Why are you back so early?" Larissa found it odd. Lewis went to Egron on Monday morning and had only been there for less than two days."There's been changes." Lewis did not sound good. "I'll talk about it in detail when I'm back.""Oh, okay!" Larissa immediately tensed up and ended the call. She sent the meeting email to every single presidential office employee's email.Lewis arrived at the company exactly an hour later. He probably came over right after getting off the plane. He did not have time to change out of his casual coat, and thus he looked no longer as boring as he usually did. He actually looked pretty good.His long legs allowed him to cover more ground. Hayden was jogging behind him, and she looked a little all over the place.Such a contrast only highlighted Lewis' godly aura.All the female employees

There was a massive suitcase in Lewis' office. Lewis knocked on it proudly. "Wanna see?""It's our working hours." Larissa remembered the lessons taught to her by her cold superior at all times. "We cannot do anything unrelated to work.""I get to say whether or not something is related to work." Lewis couldn't care less about the fact that he was eating his own words. He simply put the suitcase down and got down on one knee.Larissa could not resist the temptation as she went closer to look.Lewis had brought back a hell of a lot of presents. So much that a whole suitcase got stuffed full with it. Clothes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics—there was everything, and they were all expensive luxury items."Is our company … really in a crisis?" Larissa stared at Lewis with suspicion. With the money he had spent … he did not look like he was going through a fucking crisis at all."It's cheaper to buy things from there. It's rare for me to go too," Lewis explained. He moved aside so that Laris

"Sure!" Larissa agreed, but she was already thinking of how she would sneak away when the time came to give Marilyn and Lewis the space they needed by then."Larissa, you're the best!" Marilyn hugged Larissa's arm and leaned heavily against her affectionately.…After work, Larissa was worried that it would be too obvious if she dragged a huge suitcase with her when she left. So, she purposely waited until everyone had left before she went to knock on Lewis' office door.He was still sitting at his table, staring coldly at his laptop."I came to get the stuff." Larissa pointed at the suitcase Lewis had put in the corner of the room.Lewis grunted as he finally looked away from the laptop screen and took off the glasses he was wearing. He rubbed his forehead tiredly."What's wrong?" Larissa turned to him immediately and went up to him. "Is it very difficult?""A little." Lewis sighed softly. "Moorewell has not only pilfered our clients, now they're trying to pilfer our people fr

Marilyn did not suspect anything, and she actually sighed sadly for Larissa and said, "You're working too hard!"Larissa smiled and mocked herself. "The company's not doing very well recently, so I've got to cling on to Mr. Logan Junior and make sure that I don't get fired by him."After a brief pause, she asked Marilyn, "What about you? You've left for so long, why did you come back?""Oh, I forgot something." Marilyn smiled dryly as she let Larissa enter the elevator. She pointed behind her and said, "Well … I'll go get my stuff."Larissa asked, "Do you need me to wait for you?""No, no, no!" Marilyn quickly refused. "You go on ahead. I have no idea where I put my stuff, so I might need to look for a while.""Okay, then." Although it was already past the peak hours for work dismissal, there were still people in the office building. Larissa could not let the elevator stop at the topmost floor for so long, so she dragged the suitcase in with her. "I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."

"I'm fucking blind as usual!" Wendy snapped angrily. "I shouldn't have shown you guys any politeness!"Aster stuck out his tongue and made an ugly face at her.Larissa pouted and gave up fighting with Wendy.…During dinner, Kevan got a call. Although he hid in the study, Larissa still saw the name on the screen—"Dad."Kevan came back only after more than ten minutes. Wendy and Aster had already finished eating and had gone to the home theater to play games. Larissa was the only one waiting for him at the dining table.Seeing that Kevan's expression was darker than before, Larissa asked him with concern, "Did something happen at home?""It's not a big deal." Kevan picked up his fork and spoon again. "It's my Aunt Maria—Edmund's mom. She went to my place to cause trouble today. She said that Edmund hasn't come back from Westonia after so long because I've locked him up."When Kevan said that, a mocking smile appeared on his face. "She understands her son quite well, but she just

Due to the recent pandemic in Caldor, many international trades with Caldor had reduced greatly. Blue Star Shipping had naturally received many order cancellations too.The company was in a sad state. Many departments were spreading rumors about a major employee layoff. Larissa specifically tried to verify this with Lewis.Lewis kept working overtime this week, and he looked worse than usual. "We do have plans to lay off some people, but it can't be considered 'major.'" He sounded tired as well as heartbroken and resigned."Lay off the employees based on performance then! Our company has always had this system, it was just that our performance was good before and we were able to take care of so many employees, that was why we never enforced this system properly."Now that the company is in trouble, those who are not working properly should be kicked out.""Don't look like that—" Lewis was amused by Larissa's worried frown. He even teased her. "The sky hasn't even fallen yet!""Ca

Lewis' timing was too coincidental. Larissa had just told Marilyn that Lewis was not free, and now he was inviting her to have dinner. No matter how it was, it looked like Larissa was the one who had done something on purpose to "break up" this couple from becoming real."Mr. Logan Junior." Larissa tried to distance herself from it all. "Why are you leaving so early today?""It's the weekend." Lewis' response was simple and to the point. "So, do you want to go grab dinner with me?" he asked again. Worried that Larissa would say no, he added, "My treat.""Uh …" Larissa hesitated before an idea hit her. "Why don't we bring Marilyn? Marilyn was going to treat you too, right?"Marilyn was a little panicked at being named by Larissa. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Next time maybe. Isn't Mr. Logan Junior going to treat you today? I won't interrupt."Marilyn hurried back to her workplace and grabbed her bag in preparation to leave. That bag—Lewis looked at it for a moment.Sensin

Marilyn, who had left earlier, had somehow come back, and she was standing not far from them. She was staring at them in shock with wide, blue eyes, and her mouth was open. The bag that Larissa gifted her was on the floor by Marilyn's feet. The lipstick had rolled out of the bag."S- Sorry!" Marilyn quickly grabbed her things after recovering and turned around. "I didn't see anything!" This time, she escaped faster."She … misunderstood, I think." Larissa pulled away from Lewis and glared at him irritably. Lewis' previous position was too much. If Larissa was Marilyn, she would have overthought it too."Isn't it good that she misunderstood?" Lewis was calm though. "It's just as well because it should stop you from trying to matchmake me and her."Larissa did not want to expose her relationship to Lewis, so it was hard to explain to Marilyn what she saw earlier.Larissa angrily packed her things and muttered, "I want to see just how long you will remain single!"…Lewis treat

Wendy said, "You have to walk faster than this, Larissa! It's almost time! Your husband can't wait!""Alright!" Larissa quickly gathered up her skirts and followed her.The sun was out.Its golden rays shone softly on the red carpet through the rose petals.Larissa suppressed her desire to stay here for a little while longer and quickly walked toward the end.It was the door to the glass hall.Gary held Aster's hand and his cane in the other, waiting for her at the entrance.When he saw her, Aster immediately let go of Gary's hand and rushed toward her. "You're so pretty today, Mommy!"Larissa patted his head and smiled gently. "Thank you."Aster was her flower boy. Like Gary, he was wearing a tuxedo with a little bowtie.He was holding a basket that was proportionate to his body. In it were rose petals of various colors and shapes.The music suddenly began playing.Gary walked up to her and extended his arm toward her. "Let's go."He looked at her with a smile, his eyes g

Gary and Lewis left Bartham after two days.Blue Star did not give them time off. They couldn't stay for long.Larissa's holidays were coming to an end as well. Half of the time, she was in the Rogers' villa.Because of the pandemic, most of the shops weren't open yet. She slept and ate at home most of the time and accompanied her family. It was quite nice.After the holidays, Kevan and Larissa went back to work.Aster was sent to the kindergarten that he'd been to before. Violet was the one who drove him to and fro.In fact, in order to better take care of him, the parents moved out of Rogers' villa and bought a house in Kevan and Larissa's neighborhood.The days passed in the blink of an eye.Blue Star's company in Bartham was quickly built. Lewis sent over a few loyal and trained employees to hold the fort with Larissa and hired people according to the company's needs. The company was soon on the right track, and the headquarters' work was moved over.Larissa grew busier an

Violet had set aside Larissa's breakfast for her.Larissa ate with reddened cheeks. Kevan and Aster, who had been waiting for her, got up at the same time. Violet brought out a boxful of pie from the kitchen."Don't forget this." She put the box in Kevan's hands."Alright. Thanks, Mom." Kevan looked at Larissa and asked, "Can we go now?"Larissa wanted to ignore him, but in front of Violet, she couldn't express her emotions right now."Yes," she replied, pulling Aster toward her. She said goodbye to Violet and strode out the door.Kevan smiled in slight annoyance and followed suit.…Kevan had told Aster beforehand that they were going to see Great-Grandpa. Thus, all of Aster's questions on the way there revolved around him."Why is great-grandpa called 'Great-Grandpa'?""Is he Grandpa's dad?""Is Great-Grandpa fierce?""If he's dead, how is he going to eat the pie?"…Kevan patiently answered all of his questions.Meanwhile, Larissa looked out the window silently.Keva

Since Larissa had gone downstairs alone, it was natural to expect a few questions."Where's Kevan? Why isn't he coming down with you?""Where's Daddy? He said he would launch fireworks with me."Larissa walked over calmly and made up an excuse. "He's tired, so he showered and slept."The older people did not doubt her. Only Lewis stared at her thoughtfully."Oh … Why did Daddy sleep so early?" Aster pouted in disappointment."You can get him to launch fireworks with you tomorrow. It'll be the same." Larissa patted his head, keeping a calm expression on her face.Anthony and Violet gave the gifts they'd prepared to Larissa and Aster.Violet looked at them, tears falling down her cheeks."I have no regrets now," she said."Thank you, Mom." Larissa gave her a big hug.Violet was stunned, and she cried harder."Good girl." She hugged Larissa back, smiling widely.After Anthony and Violet, Gary and Lewis gave them their gifts. However, they were calm. Aster was so happy that he

"Happy Reunion Day!"For some reason, Larissa's eyes became a little moist. Her voice even sounded a bit choked up."What's wrong?" Kevan nervously held her face, urging her to meet his gaze. "Didn't you like the fireworks just now?"She shook her head. "No, I really liked them!""Then, why are you crying?" Kevan couldn't stand seeing her cry; it tugged at his heart."I'm just very moved."She buried her face in his chest, speaking emotionally, "Welcoming the big family reunion dinner with the person you love is wonderful."The corners of Kevan's mouth gradually curved up as he heard what she said.The hand around her waist tightened inch by inch."I love you too, Lari."He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the top of her head.She hurriedly pushed him away as she sensed his body's response. But she couldn't move him much."They're still waiting for us downstairs!" she reminded him.Lewis knew she was awake, and the fireworks were already over. If they stayed he

It was a rare occasion to have the entire extended family gathered together like this for the big family reunion dinner. In the evening, everyone was in high spirits, having enjoyed a bit of alcohol. Violet took advantage of the festive atmosphere and insisted that Gary and Lewis stay.Since Larissa woke up early after a day without proper rest, she was already feeling quite sleepy even though the reunion dinner TV celebration had just begun.Violet was understanding and told her to go to bed.Larissa tried to muster her energy to stay up."No, I'll at least wait until after midnight."She wasn't someone who adhered to rituals or traditions.In previous years, she wouldn't have stayed up late specifically to welcome the big family reunion dinner day.But this year was different.She had the companionship of her family.She was no longer a drifting, rootless plant in a foreign land.Kevan furrowed his brows slightly and gave her a gentle push."You should get some sleep.

Larissa recalled that there was indeed such an incident.However, Kevan's excuse to her was that he needed to go to Westonia to handle matters concerning Edmund."Kevan knows how the customs work better than you! You're not even married. Yet, you're already taking his side!"Gary scoffed.His displeasure was quite obvious.Larissa chuckled awkwardly, then decided to come clean and reveal the whole truth. "Well, the truth is, Kevan and I never actually got divorced. I married him over six years ago."Gary hadn't heard this from Kevan.So, his emotions seemed conflicted upon first hearing that. He clutched his chest. It was as if he were experiencing some discomfort.Larissa and Lewis quickly approached him, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"In a sudden change of demeanor, Gary used his other hand to playfully tap Larissa's forehead.His expression instantly returned to normal. However, the tap was quite forceful, causing Larissa to wince in pain."If yo

Larissa had to pick up Gary and Lewis early tomorrow morning. So, after having dinner, she returned to her room to freshen up and get ready for bed. As she lay down on the bed, she found herself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.Kevan had just managed to put Aster to sleep before coming into the room. He noticed that the lights were still on.He furrowed his brow and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"Larissa lifted the blanket and sat up abruptly. "I'm feeling very anxious right now," she admitted.Her hair was in disarray.There was a troubled expression on her face."Anxious about what?" Kevan inquired."Well, my dad is coming over tomorrow. What if he doesn't get along with your parents?" The mere thought of that possibility gave her a headache."Uncle Gary is a reasonable person. He won't easily give anyone a hard time," Kevan defended Gary.His words brought a smile to Larissa's face. "Are you saying he hasn't been gi

"Alright, then. We shall head out." Larissa gathered her belongings and pulled Kevan toward the exit."I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning. It's almost the big family reunion dinner day. "So, it's hard to find a cab on the road. You might even find yourself waiting for half a day without coming across an empty cab."Gary didn't refuse. Instead, he requested, "Then, you come alone tomorrow."Her steps hesitated a moment, and she sighed inwardly. Gary really hadn't changed."Alright," she agreed.…As soon as they closed the door, Larissa began complaining to Kevan, "I thought my dad had really come around! Turns out, he still has reservations about you!"Kevan tightened his grip on her hand and smiled."Take it slow; there has to be a gradual process."He didn't expect Gary to change his attitude overnight. But as long as things were moving in a positive direction, he was content.She shrugged upon hearing that."Well, it's not me who's being wronged here; it's y
