Lewis was curious about how Judy planned to make up her story."Yes." Judy stared straight at him. She did not avoid his gaze. "Larissa is a spy planted by your side by Moorewell. Her purpose is to steal Blue Star's highly classified information. She came to me less than two days later, using my dark past from my youth to threaten me to work with her."Lewis frowned deeply at that. "But if I recall correctly, you were not friendly with Larissa before …""That's an act!" Judy hurriedly explained. "This way, when something happened to either me or her, no one would suspect the other!""Well, that makes sense then." Lewis pretended to be convinced."But we never expected that I would get fired so soon." Whenever Judy thought of this, she was enraged. "I don't even know who took a video of me and uploaded that video to the Internet!""Isn't this something planned by you guys?" Lewis asked.Judy's eye twitched as she had a moment of panic. "N- no!" She furiously denied it. "How could
"Judy's gone just like that?" Larissa asked Lewis. "I thought you said that you were going to bring me along for the meeting?""They didn't want you there," Lewis said."Why? What did they say?" Larissa was curious about what Lewis, Judy, and her lawyer had talked about."Judy wants to use the identity of Moorewell's spy in exchange for us not holding her accountable for violating her contract." Lewis pushed the settlement agreement from Judy's lawyer to Larissa."Spy? Who?" Larissa got excited. However, Lewis only stared at her with a mysterious smile."What's with that smile?" Larissa was confused. Lewis still said nothing, but his smile grew deeper."It can't be …" Larissa had a feeling, and when she thought about Judy's weird actions today … "She told you I was the spy?"Lewis clapped his hands together. "Congratulations! You got it right!""You believed her?" Larissa asked anxiously.Lewis gave her a deadpan expression. "So, in your heart, I'm an idiot?""Well, no." La
"What?" Marilyn covered her mouth in shock before asking, "Why? Did you make a mistake at work?""I don't fucking know." Larissa laughed coldly. "Mr. Logan Junior only said that I had to go. He didn't give me any damned reason.""No way. You and Mr. Logan Junior are so close in private. How could he just make you leave without reason?" Marilyn tugged on Larissa's hand. "Why don't you go and talk to Mr. Logan Junior properly and ask why he fired you, then ask him to give you another chance?""No need!" Larissa's attitude was firm. "I'm fired, and that's that! I don't fucking care for this shitty company anyway!" She jerked free of Marilyn's grasp and went back to her workplace to start packing.Marilyn followed and asked, "Do you want to leave now? You don't have any handover procedures?""Mr. Logan Junior wants me gone from the company by today." Larissa put all the little trinkets she had in her drawer into her backpack. As for the big stuff on the table, Larissa put the valuable
When Larissa video called Kevan at night, she mentioned how she was "fired".Kevan asked her, "Do you want to come back? I'm already wrapping things up here. If you have nothing else, you can check next week's flights."Seeing her hesitation, Kevan added, "I heard that Sharon introduced more clients to you. If it's to talk business, it's much better to do it in person." His temptation was obvious."I'll discuss it with my cousin and see if I can go back to Caldor next week. He wanted me to go back and establish a Caldorian Blue Star branch company anyway. It's just that the company's having some internal issues right now, so he can't send people with me." Larissa knew that she could not do anything by herself, but she could go back and analyze things, like pinning down the office address and taking care of the necessary hardware first."Alright." Kevan smiled softly at her. "I'll wait for you to come back."Larissa's face turned red immediately. "Is Aster okay?" She changed the su
"What do we do now? Wait for him to leave or call the police?" Wendy sat on the floor like Larissa, her back against the wall where the door was.She paid attention to all and any sounds from the outside."Let's wait first." Larissa had some considerations. Their apartment building's security was stellar. Normally, non-residents could never get in. Larissa was afraid that Kevan might have come back—he had done this sort of thing before anyway, secretly coming to Westonia without telling her.But she did not dare to just go out as well. After all, there were so many dangers hidden around her, so she could not let down her guard.The heavy footsteps grew closer and closer, and Larissa's heart began to race faster. When the footsteps sounded outside her room door, Larissa's heart was almost going to burst out of her chest. She held her breath and typed to Wendy to tell her not to talk. "That guy's right outside my door, I think."Wendy's expression on her phone screen w
Larissa was thinking about going home to work, so she did not dare stay outside for too long. She was not busy as she was only doing promotions and customer service for the time being.She was in charge of communicating contract details with the other party's representative as well as accepting their inquiries.Wendy came over with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and she slurped it up next to Larissa. "I suddenly remembered something." Her face was dark, and her eyes screamed danger.Larissa stopped typing on her laptop for a couple of seconds as she looked up in confusion and asked, "What?""Didn't you tell me that you lost the power struggle with your cousin and got kicked out of the company by him?" Wendy put down her bowl and narrowed her eyes.Larissa forced herself to be calm. "Yeah, why?""Then why did he come over last night?" Wendy leaned over slowly. "How can it be possible that you two are still friendly with each other even if you're fighting?""Uh …" This question
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
