Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 963
During lunch, Marilyn called her and asked, "Larissa, what are you doing right now?"Larissa swallowed her food and replied, "I'm having lunch. What about you?""I'm having lunch too." Marilyn sounded sad. "I miss you so much, Larissa. I'm so lonely without you at the company. No one's eating with me or chatting with me during lunch anymore, and there's no one to slack off with me at work by surfing the forums. Ahh …"Larissa felt a little regretful too as there were fewer chances to meet up with Marilyn. But she did not want to dampen the mood, so she gave Marilyn a pep talk. "You can eat with other people."Although the presidential office had new people now, it was not hard for Marilyn to make friends with these people based on her personality. Moreover, there were a few people who were close to Marilyn in age in the new batch. They would definitely find similar interests to talk about."But they're not you." Marilyn sounded unhappy. She sounded like she was close to crying.

Lewis was so confused by Wendy's shouting then. In his memory, no one but his uncle had ever shouted at him like that. He stared at Wendy blankly before he finally came back to his senses. "Ms. Simmons, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?"Wendy was so angry that she was shaking. "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can there be? Could the misunderstanding be that you stole the right of succession of Blue Star away like the ungrateful son of a bitch that you are? Or, is it the fact that you kicked Larissa out of the company without giving a damn?"Although Lewis had no idea where Wendy had heard such rumors, he felt that he had the need to clear things up. "These are all misunderstandings. I have not stolen the right of succession of Blue Star, and I have not kicked Larissa out of the company. Blue Star's president is still my uncle, and the future president will only be Larissa.""Stop lying to me!" Wendy snorted at his explanation. "Larissa told me everyt

"Come here!" Lewis ordered.Grumpily, Larissa trudged over."Are you giving me an attitude?" Lewis raised an eyebrow."No." Larissa immediately smiled, wiping the frown off her face at lightning speed. "What may I do for you, dear cousin?"Lewis took a live, struggling salmon out from an ice box and brought it to her face. "Get this salmon fileted.""Agh!" Larissa was terrified of live animals like these. She hid behind him immediately, clutching at his shirt. "I was wrong, Lewis," she cried. "Don’t do this to me. I’ll be traumatized!"Lewis dragged her out coldly and forced a knife into her hands."Take your pick. Will the salmon die, or will you?" He threatened her expressionlessly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.Seeing that Lewis was hellbent on revenge, Larissa bit her lip and began whacking at the salmon on the cutting board.With a smack, the fish stopped struggling."What’s next?" she asked in a daze.He instructed calmly, "Remove the scales and slit open the st

It was a Saturday. Larissa had invited Marilyn to dinner.Larissa had picked out a three Michelin-starred restaurant, probably because this could be the last time they ever saw each other. She'd gotten a reservation through Gary's connections.They met at the entrance of the restaurant.The moment Marilyn saw Larissa, she embraced her warmly."Larissa!" Marilyn examined her face and exclaimed, "You look so much better when you're not working overtime!"Larissa smiled. "It's the makeup."This restaurant was rather particular about dress codes.Wendy had picked out a long silver dress for her. Her makeup had to match.It had taken her an hour to put it on. It was vastly different compared to her daily routine which took 10 minutes.They walked in while holding hands.Because they were both attractive and had shapely figures, they attracted the attention of many patrons."Larissa?" someone exclaimed. Larissa looked over. It was Allen sitting about ten feet away.He was proba

If Marilyn hadn't brought it up, Larissa would not have planned on introducing them to each other. They wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future, anyway."This is Allen. He was my superior from when I worked in Winston. And this is Marilyn, my colleague and good friend."To be polite, Allen extended his hand toward Marilyn. "Nice to meet you, Marilyn.""Hello, Allen." Marilyn leaned forward, placing a hand over her chest for modesty, and shook his hand. "Correction, I'm not her colleague. I'm her ex-colleague.""What?" Allen was surprised. He looked at Larissa. "Are you switching jobs again?""Not yet." Larissa was trying her hardest to plaster a smile on her face. "I'm currently unemployed.""What does that mean?" Allen's eyes were full of bewilderment.Before leaving Winston, Larissa had told him that she was going to work in her family's company. Thus, she couldn't say that she was fired. Otherwise, he would instantly call out her bluff. Marilyn might ev

"Why did you want to give me a present so suddenly?" Marilyn asked curiously. She held her bracelet with her other hand.Larissa said honestly, "I'm going back to Caldor next week.""What?" Marilyn was shocked. "Are you really going to teach Aldovian?""I don't know. I'll think about it when I get back." Larissa smiled and made up an excuse. "I just miss home. I'm all alone here, and without work, it's a struggle.""That is true." Marilyn pursed her lips, sobering up. "Will you still come back to Westonia?" she asked."We'll see. If I find a suitable job in Caldor, I might not even come back," Larissa said."Well, what about him?" Marilyn glanced at Allen. There was mischief in her eyes. "What if he's just waiting for you to turn back?"Larissa explained in exasperation, "There's nothing between us.""Alright, alright! I get it. Nothing between you," Marilyn said, all smiles. It was obvious that she didn't think so.Because of Allen, Larissa was not looking as forward to this

Larissa was unable to sleep the entire night because of what she'd seen at the restaurant.She couldn't get Marilyn and Allen's smiles out of her head.She didn't know what they meant, but she felt like it had something to do with her.…Early the next day, Larissa received a call from Marilyn."Larissa!" Marilyn sounded anxious. "I accidentally broke the bracelet you gave me last night! Do you know if there's a place where I could get it repaired?"Larissa calmly told her the seller's address. "You can just head over. I'll let them know online.""Could you come with me, Larissa? I've never bought these types of bracelets before. I don't know what it's like to repair them. What if the owner cons me?" Marilyn was worried."I don't know, either." Larissa wasn't lying. She had never bought jewelry like this. She just thought that this was a trustworthy shop."If you're worried about it, you can put off the repairs. I'll ask about it another day and see if there are any reliable j

The glass shattered into pieces. Orange juice splattered everywhere, including her legs and her slippers."You …" Lewis looked at the orange liquid around his feet, despair written all over his face.He would have kept his mouth shut if he'd known that this would happen."What's wrong? What happened?" Wendy ran out of her room. When she saw the scene in the dining room, she was stunned. "What happened?"It was like Lewis had seen an angel. Between coughs, he spat out, "Water …"Wendy immediately understood him and ran to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.He drank half of it in one gulp. It was only then that Lewis breathed easier.Larissa was still in shock."Is it true? That Marilyn is the traitor?"She couldn't believe her ears."But hasn't she worked at Blue Star Shipping for years? Have there been other secrets leaked to Moorewell Shipping?""Not before." After his violent choking, Lewis' voice was hoarse. "But I have proof."Larissa's heart skipped a beat. "Wha
