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

Throughout the meal, Kevan piled food on Larissa's plate. Each time, Larissa accepted his help and thanked him sweetly. Conversely, Dylan and Sharon were quite the opposite. They didn't care about each other and served their own food. They almost got into an argument a few times as they fought over the food on the table. The meal ended under contrastingly different atmospheres. Kevan asked Larissa, "Where should we go now?" Blue Star Shipping and Thompson Medical had already signed the contract. Since Larissa's and Lewis' return date had not been set, there was no need to rush back to the hotel. Larissa replied, "Let's go home.""Alright." With a smile, Kevan took Larissa's bag and held her hand. He turned to Dylan and instructed, "Go home with Ms. Davis. Don't stay back and do overtime." "I'd rather work overtime at the office than go home with her!" Dylan said irritably. He couldn't help spouting unkind words due to his anger. Sharon didn't back down. "Do you t

Plans to return to Westonia were quickly arranged. Larissa stayed two nights at Kevan's home. She had arranged to meet with Lewis directly at the airport on the day of their departure. Lewis didn't ask where she had been for the past two days. He already knew the answer. However, he expressed his confusion when he saw her alone. "Isn't Aster returning with us?" In Larissa's original plans, Aster was to return to Westonia with her. However, Kevan's parents insisted on keeping him with them due to the risk of contracting the virus. Kevan had also mentioned that Cody might act erratically when forced into a corner. In the end, Larissa decided to leave Aster at the Rogers' villa which would be safer. Larissa answered, "He wants to stay back and play for a few more days. Kevan will bring him back to Westonia." Lewis went silent and didn't ask further. The plane touched down in Westonia at noon. Due to Gary's urging, Lewis had no time to get over his jetlag and went straigh

"I don't have much to do with it. It was just a coincidence that I met a friend at Thompson Medical. Turns out that she was Mr. Ackley's niece. She helped us secure the deal." Larissa didn't dare to take credit for herself. Lewis shut down his computer and muttered, "Such coincidences don't just happen to anyone." Larissa agreed, "That's true." Gary sensed the underlying meaning behind Lewis' words. "Are you saying that all of this wasn't just a coincidence?" Lewis didn't confirm nor deny it. He said vaguely, "Maybe there is another person helping us behind the scenes." Gary glanced at Larissa, who looked puzzled. He kept his thoughts to himself. "Alright, you both should go and rest now. Come home tomorrow night. The three of us will have a nice meal to celebrate." Gary stood up and waved them off. Larissa was not in a rush to go home. She had brought souvenirs from Bartham. She distributed them to her colleagues in the presidential office. Although they were not fam
