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

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

It was a Saturday. Larissa had invited Marilyn to dinner.Larissa had picked out a three Michelin-starred restaurant, probably because this could be the last time they ever saw each other. She'd gotten a reservation through Gary's connections.They met at the entrance of the restaurant.The moment Marilyn saw Larissa, she embraced her warmly."Larissa!" Marilyn examined her face and exclaimed, "You look so much better when you're not working overtime!"Larissa smiled. "It's the makeup."This restaurant was rather particular about dress codes.Wendy had picked out a long silver dress for her. Her makeup had to match.It had taken her an hour to put it on. It was vastly different compared to her daily routine which took 10 minutes.They walked in while holding hands.Because they were both attractive and had shapely figures, they attracted the attention of many patrons."Larissa?" someone exclaimed. Larissa looked over. It was Allen sitting about ten feet away.He was proba

"Why did you want to give me a present so suddenly?" Marilyn asked curiously. She held her bracelet with her other hand.Larissa said honestly, "I'm going back to Caldor next week.""What?" Marilyn was shocked. "Are you really going to teach Aldovian?""I don't know. I'll think about it when I get back." Larissa smiled and made up an excuse. "I just miss home. I'm all alone here, and without work, it's a struggle.""That is true." Marilyn pursed her lips, sobering up. "Will you still come back to Westonia?" she asked."We'll see. If I find a suitable job in Caldor, I might not even come back," Larissa said."Well, what about him?" Marilyn glanced at Allen. There was mischief in her eyes. "What if he's just waiting for you to turn back?"Larissa explained in exasperation, "There's nothing between us.""Alright, alright! I get it. Nothing between you," Marilyn said, all smiles. It was obvious that she didn't think so.Because of Allen, Larissa was not looking as forward to this

The glass shattered into pieces. Orange juice splattered everywhere, including her legs and her slippers."You …" Lewis looked at the orange liquid around his feet, despair written all over his face.He would have kept his mouth shut if he'd known that this would happen."What's wrong? What happened?" Wendy ran out of her room. When she saw the scene in the dining room, she was stunned. "What happened?"It was like Lewis had seen an angel. Between coughs, he spat out, "Water …"Wendy immediately understood him and ran to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water.He drank half of it in one gulp. It was only then that Lewis breathed easier.Larissa was still in shock."Is it true? That Marilyn is the traitor?"She couldn't believe her ears."But hasn't she worked at Blue Star Shipping for years? Have there been other secrets leaked to Moorewell Shipping?""Not before." After his violent choking, Lewis' voice was hoarse. "But I have proof."Larissa's heart skipped a beat. "Wha
