Aster agreed. "Oh, okay."Kevan gave Larissa a weird smile. "If you need to work, you can use my laptop."Larissa sneered at him. "Thank you for that, but I don't. Flipping. Need it!"…The kid had seen Larissa and Kevan sleeping in the same bed. He now wanted to sleep with them together.Although Larissa's fever was gone, her cold was not gone. Worried that she would pass it to him, she persuaded Aster to not sleep with her. In the end, this whole thing ended with Kevan going over to accompany him to bed.Larissa was happy to have the whole bed to herself. She even childishly rolled around the bed a few times. But when she turned off the lights and listened to her own breathing, she felt that the bed was too empty. It made her feel a little lonely.When she realized that, she felt terrified. She hid herself under the blanket and curled up under it. She also hugged herself. But even with that, she was unable to stop herself from feeling lonely.She tossed and turned a lot tha

Larissa looked up to see an angry, dark-faced Gary. Behind him was Marilyn, who looked very serious too.When he saw Larissa standing outside, Gary stopped walking in surprise.Larissa hurriedly greeted him. "Mr. Logan Senior, Mr. Logan Junior." She bowed her head. She did everything she could to act like she was not familiar with these two men.Gary nodded and grunted once in response to Larissa. Then, he walked away without even looking at her to help maintain her act.Lewis also paused in front of Larissa. "Late with no reason. Your attendance bonus along with other bonuses for this month are deducted." He played the part of a cold, heartless superior, and he ordered Larissa, "Come to my office and explain the reason why you were late."His voice was not quiet, so all the other colleagues stuck at the door of the meeting room could hear him.Marilyn gave her a look of sympathy while the others sneered at her.Larissa bowed her head even more. She followed behind Lewis. The

Marilyn gave Larissa looks with her eyes. She was telling her to look at the company's internal communication software.Larissa had been busy trying to find people when she first arrived. Then, she was called into Lewis' office. Only now did she have the time to open up all the software on her laptop.The message icon in the bottom right corner of the laptop's screen kept flashing. Larissa clicked on it and saw Marilyn's message. "Judy has been fired by Mr. Logan Senior in person! Today's last-minute meeting was held because of Judy. Mr. Logan Senior was so angry! Thank goodness you did not come!"Judy was fired?Shocked, Larissa glanced over in the direction of Judy's seat, but there was a wall blocking her. So, she was not able to see if Judy was still there or not."What happened?" she asked Marilyn, who sent her a link.Larissa only found out that Blue Star Shipping had a little internal forum after she clicked on the link.The forum had all kinds of sections for diffe

Objectively speaking, Judy's actions could only prove that her personality in private was shit. Even if the video got posted online, the worst that could happen was that people would condemn her so much that she lost her dignity. It would not get so bad that she would lose her job.Alas, the bad thing about this was that people managed to find out exactly who she was.It was near impossible to find the true identity of a person based on just one video online. One needed advanced face recognition technology for that.For Judy's identity to be exposed in just a day was definitely because the video was spread everywhere. So much so that Judy's friends and acquaintances were able to tell that it was her.Still, Larissa thought the most important thing was that Judy had offended too many people. Thus, others would purposely drag her down and post all of her information online.The netizens wanted Judy to be punished. So, the most direct way was to pressure the company she worked at a

Larissa held the door to let Gary and Lewis in. But Lewis held the other side of the door as he gestured gentlemanly at Larissa and said, "Ladies first."Larissa was wondering if she should be polite with him when Marilyn pulled her into the elevator.Marilyn was smiling as she kept thanking Lewis. "Thank you, Mr. Logan Junior!"All four of them stood in the elevator. Most company employees had already left, so the elevator did not stop and went down quickly.Lewis pretended to ask casually, "Where are you going to eat?"Realizing that he was talking to them, Marilyn's eyes widened as she said shakily, "We're going to a famous Caldorian restaurant nearby."Aldovia's Caldorian restaurants were mostly changed to fit the taste of the locals, so it was not original. However, the restaurant near their company maintained "Caldorian originality." Hence, it attracted a lot of Caldorians who were working or studying abroad in Westonia. It became a trendy restaurant.Larissa had already

Although Lewis sounded like he was just asking, it also sounded like he was trying to place blame on someone.Marilyn was Gary's secretary. Although she did the typical jobs of a secretary, she was still closer to Gary than the others in the presidential office.Gary was focused on his work. He also held high standards for his employees. He did not care too much about a person's character, but he could not tolerate people lording over others in the company.In situations like these, Gary's secretary would have a very important role—she had to report to him about the most unimportant things in the company on time. They might be inconsequential, but they were definitely things that needed to be dealt with.Marilyn seemed to realize her mistake as well. She looked down guiltily and gripped her drink with both hands."I heard some of it." She admitted to Lewis. "It's my fault for not reporting it to Mr. Logan Senior.""But you made up for it, didn't you?" Lewis gazed at her. His eyes

Marilyn's previous embarrassment vanished as she smiled brightly. "Thank you, Mr. Logan Junior!" Her gratitude was real. Her joy was the most obvious that Larissa had seen in these few days.It turned out that people were all the same when bonuses were in front of them.…Their food arrived. Larissa and Lewis ate happily. Marilyn could not eat spicy things, so whenever she took a bite, she had to drink some water before swallowing it.Seeing that Marilyn was struggling to eat as she ate like she was eating poison, Larissa was a bit confused. "If you don't like Caldorian food, why did you suggest coming here?"Larissa never cared too much about food. Back then, she would just mess around with Wendy, ordering fast food takeout from nearby whenever they did not feel like cooking. Otherwise, they would just find a way to deal with it in the hotel.When Larissa went outside to eat in restaurants, she did it for the clients. The locations were all decided by her assistant. Larissa neve

"Why not?" Larissa thought Marilyn had overreacted. "Mr. Logan Junior is not a wolf or something. What's wrong with liking him?"Marilyn waved at Larissa to tell her to be quiet. "Don't let Mr. Logan Junior hear you say that!""What's wrong?" Larissa turned to look at the direction Lewis had left in. Once she was sure she could not see him, she said, "I thought our company doesn't prevent workplace relationships?"She knew this because the presidential office had one couple. Although it was not obvious, they did not hide themselves when they were being affectionate with each other.Although Lewis was strict, that was only on work. He could not prevent ladies from liking him."Shh!" Marilyn moved her chair closer to Larissa and leaned closer to her. She spoke in a low voice. "Our female employees know that all other men in the company are available except for Mr. Logan Junior.""Why?" Larissa only heard this for the first time."Mr. Logan Junior did not make any rules … But previ

"Can't I be curious?" Lewis reached out to grab his phone when he saw that Larissa refused to say it. "If you don't tell me, I'll call Marilyn right now—"Larissa hurriedly stole his phone from him and gave in helplessly. "I'll say it! Don't make things hard for Marilyn!"Lewis smirked victoriously and waited for Larissa's answer."The guy I was talking about …" Larissa sucked in a deep breath as she prepared for herself to be "killed" by Lewis. "Is you."Lewis' face showed that he knew it. Yet, he wasn't particularly unhappy. "Where did you get this conclusion from?" He asked her earnestly. "I don't remember ever being interested in guys in front of you.""But you never showed interest in women in front of me either!" Larissa fired back at him. "Look at you. You're almost forty, and you still don't have a girlfriend. How could people not overthink things then?"Lewis' face darkened. He defended himself. "Just because I don't have a girlfriend now doesn't mean I didn't use to hav

It was not strange to have a meal with a friend of the opposite gender, but Lewis' description of Wendy's reaction made Larissa suspicious.Panicked, uncomfortable. Wendy even deliberately avoided Larissa.No matter how it looked, Wendy did not seem to be just friends with that guy she was with.Larissa quickly texted Wendy via WhatsApp. "You got a situation going on?" She watched the words "typing …" appear under Wendy's name for a few minutes before it disappeared. No new message appeared in the chat.Well, it seemed that Wendy had decided to ignore her.Larissa calculated the time. Wendy must still be eating now, or she was having fun with her "boyfriend." Larissa held back from video-calling Wendy. She didn't want to disturb them. She closed WhatsApp.Seeing Larissa throw her phone back into her bag as well as hearing the happy snort she let out, Lewis looked at her and asked, "You're happy?""Not bad, I guess," Larissa said lightly. There was a hint of a smile on her face.
