Within the context of love, the idea of "love at first sight" was incredibly romantic. It was also the most desired goal for most young men and women. However, from the standpoint of probability, this was the least probable thing to happen.The chances of such a thing happening were so low that Larissa never believed it could happen, and she was proven wrong today. But she was not angry. She was actually happy for Wendy."Oh, man! This is totally the plot of a teenage drama series!" Larissa exclaimed with excitement.Love at first sight and coincidental meetings were the standard plot for most teenage drama series. Wendy was beautiful enough to be the main female lead. But the guy …"Is he handsome?" Larissa was so excited that her voice was shaking."Um …" Wendy hesitated for a few seconds. There was some pride in her shyness."Not as good as your Mr. Rogers, but he's still good-looking. Speaking of—he does look a bit like Mr. Rogers. It's not just as delicate. And their auras a

Although Kevan did not stay over at Larissa's house anymore, he appeared at her doorstep promptly the following day. He brought a delicious breakfast from the hotel. While enjoying breakfast, Wendy praised Kevan continuously, "Mr. Rogers, you are the best man on earth! If you didn't have someone you love already, I would definitely go all out to pursue you!" After hearing her compliments, Kevan seemed to be in a good mood, and his attitude toward her improved. "Ms. Simmons, what would you like for breakfast tomorrow? I'll have the hotel prepare it." Larissa rolled her eyes discreetly as she bit into her crispy bacon. Wendy did not hold back and rattled off a list of dishes. Lastly, she added meaningfully, "Mr. Rogers, if you ever need my help, feel free to let me know." Kevan smiled and nodded. "Alright." Aster couldn't get used to Kevan's absence and complained throughout the car ride. He only stopped after Larissa insisted firmly. As usual, Kevan would drop Aster off at

In this weaponless war, Larissa initially believed she and Marilyn were the sole outsiders.As she listened to their conversation, she realized they were responsible for the situation. She was the source of conflict, and Marilyn was the one who caused Judy to resign. In order to not be the target of public criticism, Larissa grabbed Marilyn's hand and took their things from the table. She lowered her head and tried to leave as inconspicuously as possible. Before they got to the door, several people blocked their way. "You must be feeling proud now, aren't you?" Nina Swan, the female colleague who challenged Lewis, led the group. Her attitude was as rude as ever. She was bigger than Larissa. Although she wasn't as tall, her imposing manner was still intimidating. Larissa had been through many crises in her life. Although she wouldn't go out of her way to look for trouble, she wasn't scared of subordinates who tried to give her attitude. "Yes, I am proud." She straightened h

"Slapped in your stead? What do you mean?" Gary's pleasant expression immediately darkened when he heard this. Larissa told him what happened in the conference room in an exaggerated manner. Finally, she got to the point, "Marilyn has been so helpful to me. Can we give her a raise?" "Sure." As long as it didn't involve Kevan, Gary always agreed to Larissa's requests. "I will inform the HR department later. Marilyn's salary will be raised by 10%." Larissa gave him a bear hug. "Thanks, Dad!" Gary burst into laughter, his eyes crinkling. He patted her hand and said, "I haven't had the chance to talk to you recently. Now that you've been in Blue Star Shipping for some time, how do you find the work? Is it difficult?" Larissa glanced at Lewis and said proudly, "With Lewis around, what difficulties could I possibly have?" "That's good to know." Gary seemed relieved. "You know that my health is declining. Dr. Smith has been telling me for years to step down and rest. "However, I

Lewis was Gary's executive assistant and the backbone of the entire presidential office. Apart from Marilyn, he oversaw the work of everyone in the department. They all reported their work to him. Thus, he knew each person's job scope and progress like the back of his hand. It was as if he was doing the work himself. Handing over tasks to a dozen people was time-consuming and difficult. However, when it came to Lewis, he completed his work in fast motion. Everything progressed at double speed. Before the end of the day, the presidential office had resumed normal operations. After resolving all the issues, Lewis stretched his sore back and pounded it sporadically with his arm. Larissa looked up and offered without hesitation, "Do you need me to help with that?" She said that out of instinct. She had forgotten to maintain her distance from Lewis. The words had left her mouth when she snapped back to reality. Flustered, Larissa looked at Marilyn who was sitting across from her.
