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

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

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

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

"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
