"I saw Lana today." Larissa spoke very slowly, and her voice was hesitant.Before speaking, she was unsure if she should tell him about what happened tonight. However, she also felt that if Lana was really going to jump ship, StreamWave should be informed in advance to be prepared. Otherwise, the two participation spots given to her small anchors would be for naught.Kevan misunderstood her though. "She tried looking for trouble with you?" His eyes glinted dangerously, and his voice was sinisterly cold."No, no." Larissa quickly waved her hands. "I saw her, but she didn't see me."Kevan's coldness vanished at once. "So?" In the end, he was as calm as he was before.Larissa licked her lips. "She was eating with someone from LuminoLive. That guy tried to recruit Zero before …"She broke off at this point, and Kevan picked up where she left off. "So you think that he wants to recruit Lana too?"Larissa nodded minutely.Kevan recrossed his legs, his face remaining unchanged. "Lana

The heat permeated through the thin fabric and warmed Larissa's palm. It was so intense that it bordered on scorching, making her take shallow breaths in response."You … I …" Larissa started to become incoherent. Her tongue seemed to be all twisted up, and she could not utter a complete sentence at all.She curled up her fingers in an attempt to escape the source of the heat.Kevan grunted before taking a deep breath. "Larissa." He did his best to control himself, just barely forcing himself to speak in a hoarse voice. "I'm a normal man." He gazed at her with red eyes.The kiss on his neck appeared in Larissa's mind, and the smell of the thick Chanel 5 perfume seemed to surround Larissa at that moment."Don't you have a lover out there?" Jealous words escaped her as the fluster from before vanished entirely. She pressed her lips tightly together, and a faint hint of anger could be seen in her eyes.Kevan froze for a moment before a mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Are yo

As they were about to leave, Larissa noticed that Kevan had packed a portion of breakfast with him."It's for Dylan," he explained.After dropping Larissa off at the hotel, Kevan sent a WhatsApp text to Dylan. "Come to my office later. I've brought you breakfast."Dylan sent back several lines of question marks. "Has the sun risen from the west today?" he asked.Kevan snorted coldly. "If you don't want it, that's fine." He tossed his phone onto the passenger's seat and started the car again. As he drove, his phone kept vibrating with notifications. When he finally had a moment to look, he saw that the screen was filled with Dylan's responses."DONNN'T!""I'M SORRY!""MR. ROGERS!!""I'm sorry, okay???""You're the kindest fucking angel on this earth!""You're my role model for life!""I'm at your office, sir!""Ready to welcome you at any moment, sir!""Don't panic, and drive safely!""Much love and kisses!"When he imagined the last four words coming out of Dylan's mouth

"My Lady Luck! You're really my Lady Luck!" Zero called Larissa bright and early in the morning to report the good news to her. Her cheery voice was largely different from yesterday's despondency."The gaming company really gave StreamWave an additional spot! They even said that I'm the one who will be going!"Although she already knew beforehand from Kevan, it did not stop Larissa from being affected by Zero's joy through the phone call. A genuine smile appeared on her face."Congratulations on having what you wished for!"Zero couldn't stop giggling, probably because she was so happy about this wonderful news.The general manager suddenly called Larissa to attend a meeting, so she could not chat long with her. She simply congratulated Zero a few more times before hanging up the call.When Larissa entered the meeting room, she noticed that all the department managers were present. She let out a sigh of relief. Before attending the meeting, she had assumed that the general manage

The general manager didn't even ask if she was available to undertake the task. He frowned. "Didn't I tell you a day in advance?" Larissa pursed her lips and answered helplessly, "Okay." After working for so many years, Larissa had been on numerous work trips. However, she had always managed to avoid Bartham, and this visit marked her first time there. She would have arranged for a substitute if the general manager hadn't specifically requested her presence or if someone else could have conducted the training on her behalf. She packed two full suitcases since she would be there for a week. When Kevan returned at night and saw the suitcases, he was alarmed. He didn't even change out of his shoes. He simply ran straight into Larissa's bedroom.Larissa had an early flight the next morning, so she had an early dinner, showered, and was currently in bed with a face mask on. Kevan's sudden intrusion startled Larissa, leaving her in a state of shock. Reacting swiftly, she abruptly go

Larissa was surprised to see Kevan settling for an economy seat alongside her. Given his long legs, it appeared uncomfortable for him to be seated in an economy seat with little legroom. Larissa couldn't bear to see him like that and offered him the seat next to the aisle."You don't need to worry about money. Why aren't you in first class?" Larissa was puzzled. If she possessed the same net worth as him, she would buy the entire plane for herself, let alone opt for first class. "I want to accompany you," Kevan answered without any hesitation. Then, he turned to stare at her. His gaze was filled with sincerity. Larissa could feel her heart briefly stop before it resumed pounding in her chest. In an effort to mask the uncomfortable feeling, she swiftly made a joke, saying, "Actually, you can treat me to an upgrade." Kevan was caught off guard by Larissa's remark, but he quickly reached for his wallet. "We can do it now." He couldn't help but reflect on how his thought process m

Larissa was suddenly irritated and threw the blanket on him before closing her eyes again. Then, she heard Kevan's chuckle. His lips were so close to her face that he almost kissed her ear. "Jealous?" His breath grazed her skin, causing a surge of warmth to course through her. Larissa panicked and shot him a glare in response."Who's jealous? Don't let your imagination run wild!" "Okay." Kevan was suddenly considerate. Although he said that, there was still a hint of tease in his gaze. Larissa bit her lower lip and retrieved a baseball hat and eye mask from her bag. She covered herself with the cap and the mask before putting on her headphones. She cranked up the music to its maximum volume to completely isolate herself from him.Her actions only made Kevan laugh. The gentle expression in his eyes attracted many passengers. One passenger was even tempted to secretly take a picture but was shot a warning gaze by Kevan. Shocked, the passenger shuddered and put away his phone. A

Kevan beckoned a waiter over in the lobby and asked, "On which floor can I find the housekeeping manager's office?"The waiter was taken aback by Kevan's assertiveness and timidly gestured, "The office area is on the highest floor. You should find the housekeeping manager there." "Wait for me here. I'll go up and take a look," Kevan instructed Larissa. She quickly stopped him. "I can go up by myself." "Are you sure you want to bring so much up with you?" Kevan said as he glanced at her suitcases. Immediately, Larissa retracted her hand and sat back on the sofa.After that, Kevan went straight to the top floor. As he arrived, he encountered a door that served as the entrance to the office area, which required a card for access. Kevan made a call, and the general manager of Bartham's Regal Dynasty Hotel came out to welcome him. "Mr. Rogers!" exclaimed the general manager with a flattering smile as he extended his hand. Only then did he remember Kevan had severe cleanliness

The general manager sensed a sudden chill in the air and cautiously glanced at Kevan, only to find that he was staring at Lotus. His gaze was ominously dark and unsettling."Ms. S …" The general manager wanted to interrupt the group but was stopped by Kevan. Lotus sneered, "Isn't she just some random woman who suddenly gets all the credit? Why did they make it such a big deal? That woman is from Covenford, for heaven's sake. Honestly, I bet the hotel in Covenford must have bribed the press. Otherwise, why are the other renowned hotels facing criticism while they remain unscathed?" "I agree! It's outrageous that they were invited to train us just because they bribed the press to be on the good list. Don't they feel ashamed?" "I mean, the general manager should also be blamed. He could just warn us and let us rectify our issues. How could he allow the people from Covenford to come and make fun of us? I'm just mad thinking about it." At this point, the general manager's expressio

Larissa was puzzled. Why did he suddenly need to talk to Lotus? Why didn't he deal with it when he was up there? Also, where should she rest? However, she knew Bartham was his territory, so he had some authority in the Regal Dynasty Hotel. In the end, she didn't ask anything and quietly followed him. Kevan told Larissa to rest in the presidential suite he just booked and placed her suitcases neatly on the side. "You'll stay here while you're in Bartham." "Huh?" Larissa thought Kevan got this room for himself. She quickly waved her hand and rejected his offer. "They will provide me with a place to stay. You don't need to pay extra for a room." The presidential suite cost nearly ten thousand per night. If she stayed here for a week, it would cost around eighty thousand, almost half her salary. Even though she wasn't paying for it, she felt distressed."I don't need to pay to stay at the Regal Dynasty Hotel. Just think that I arranged this for you." Kevan's words gave Laris
