"Will Kevan be going back with you?" Sharon asked again. Larissa hadn't discussed this with Kevan, and he hadn't mentioned it to her either. "I'm not sure. He came back because there were some matters in the company to handle. He might have to wait until those are taken care of." Sharon couldn't help but curse, "What is he handling? He's already handed over all the company affairs to Dylan! Now Dylan sleeps at the company every day. I hardly get to see him once a week!" Larissa finally understood why Sharon was so resentful of Kevan. However, she remembered that Dylan and Sharon had a poor relationship the last time she returned to Caldor. Larissa wondered how their relationship had improved so dramatically in such a short time. "Well …" Larissa felt a little awkward. Whether stayed or left wasn't something she could decide. "How about I talk to Kevan later and ask him to stay in Caldor for a little longer?" she suggested to Sharon. Nonetheless, it might not have much effec

When they arrived at the hotel, Lewis finally asked the question on his mind all day. "Is Sharon Davis really your friend?" Since Brian wasn't familiar with Larissa, he could be fooled by their pretense. However, Lewis knew that Larissa's reaction wasn't right. It wasn't what one would expect from meeting an old friend. "Not really. Sharon is the wife of Kevan's friend. I've met her a few times. I never expected to meet her at Thompson Medical. I certainly didn't expect her to help me." Larissa didn't see the need to hide anything. Pursing his lips, Lewis furrowed his brows as he seemed lost in thought. Larissa was afraid that their act would be exposed with Brian present, so she hadn't expressed her gratitude properly to Sharon. She sent a WhatsApp message to Sharon, "Ms. Davis, thank you so much for your help today. I was wondering if you are free tomorrow for dinner. My colleague and I would like to thank you over a meal." Sharon replied quickly, "There's no need to than

With a little nudge from Lewis, Larissa realized the issue. "How did Moorewell Shipping get this information?" "That's the issue. Besides, you heard from Mr. Ackley. Moorewell Shipping's offer was slightly lower than ours," Lewis spoke in a cold tone as his pace quickened. A thought formed in Larissa's mind. "You mean, we have a mole in our company?" Corporate espionage was commonplace in the business world. Still, Larissa had never encountered it before, so she was shocked. Lewis nodded. "He or she should be easy to find." After all, not many people in the presidential office knew about the purpose of their trip. By questioning them one by one after they returned, they could find out the source of the leak. Seeing Larissa's solemn expression, Lewis stopped in his tracks and gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry too much about this. We already signed the contract, and we haven't suffered any losses. We can investigate this later. Aren't you meeting Sharon for dinner? Wh

The writing on the pages had faded considerably due to time. Regardless, Larissa could still recognize her own handwriting accurately. Larissa Seymour, Class A. This physics textbook belonged to her! A blurry memory rushed back to her mind. In her senior year of high school, she had indeed lost her physics textbook. She had looked everywhere for it, in her home, her classroom, even in the garden where she studied in the mornings. However, she couldn't find any trace of it. In the end, she had to save up her hard-earned money to get a new one from her homeroom teacher. She also had to stay up all night to rewrite the class notes in her new textbook. After nearly twenty years, she never expected to find her lost textbook here.The assistant entered the room again and asked, "Ms. Larissa, would you like something to drink?" Larissa shook her head and waved the physics textbook in her hand. "Does this book belong to Mr. Rogers?" The assistant stared at the book for a

Larissa suddenly grinned mischievously. She stood on tiptoe and whispered into his ear in a teasing manner, "Kevan, have you had a secret crush on me since high school?" The expression on his face froze and his pupils contracted. Kevan's body stiffened and his cheeks were flushed crimson. Initially, Larissa meant to pull his leg. However, Kevan's silence and delayed response made her feel anxious. "Did you really have a crush on me?" She took a step back, her heart racing. Kevan regained his composure and stared at her with an aggrieved expression. "No, it's impossible. I didn't even know you back then!" Larissa refuted loudly as she took another step back. "You really don't remember at all. In your senior year of high school, you saved someone and brought him to the hospital." Kevan sighed and the anticipation in his eyes dimmed. Larissa finally recalled once Kevan reminded her. "That was you?" She covered her mouth in disbelief. "It was me." Kevan went up to Larissa

When she thought of this, Larissa couldn't help but say angrily, "When are you going to return the money you owe me?" Yvette had never given her much pocket money. From elementary to high school, she had only saved 10 thousand dollars. However, she had put it all in to save him when he was in the hospital. Back then, Kevan had suddenly disappeared. She went to the hospital as usual after school, but the ward was empty. There was not even a farewell note left behind. The doctors and nurses had no idea about Kevan's departure. He hadn't even completed his discharge procedures, so no one knew where he had gone. Larissa suspected that he had fled to avoid paying back the money he owed her. She even considered reporting him to the police. In the end, she chose to give up. Cooperating with the investigation would only waste her time. "How much do I owe you?" Kevan asked. Larissa extended one finger. "10 thousand dollars!" Kevan took out his phone and tapped the screen a

Larissa's body stiffened. She hadn't expected to receive such a passionate and direct confession from Kevan. Conflicting emotions surged within her. Larissa couldn't think of how to respond at that moment. She opened her mouth, but the next thing that came out of her mouth was an embarrassing question, "But what about you and Ruby?" It was rumored that Kevan loved Ruby, regardless of his marriage to her later for whatever reasons. "It's a long story. In short, I pretended to like her to make Cody believe he had a hold on me." Kevan didn't avoid the question. Cody was too naive. His simple mind couldn't match up to his grand ambitions. He thought that he finally had a hold on Kevan by taking advantage of his weakness for Ruby. From the beginning to the end, he was focused on taking Kevan down by using Ruby against him. Cody had never considered anything else. "That time when we were at Starville Hotel, you called out for her when you had a high fever … " Larissa couldn

They made reservations for dinner at a private dining restaurant. It was said that this restaurant only accepted reservations from regular customers. There was a daily limit of ten tables. Before entering the restaurant, Larissa checked her wallet sheepishly. "What's wrong?" Kevan asked when he saw the uneasy expression on her face. Larissa put on a nonchalant smile and shook her head. Dylan and Sharon had arrived ahead of them. They were already seated in the private room. Kevan held Larissa's hand and they entered the private room together. Dylan seemed to be intrigued when he saw their hands intertwined with each other. "You two …" He scrutinized Kevan's and Larissa's faces back and forth, trying to find out why they seemed so close. Kevan's expression remained calm. He maintained a reserved demeanor throughout. On the other hand, Larissa felt embarrassed under his intense scrutiny. She lowered her head to avoid his gaze. Sharon tugged on Dylan's sleeve an
