Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 248
Kevan was not marginalized because of that. On the contrary, everyone wanted to curry favor with him.Dylan knew that once Kevan had decided on something, no one could convince him to give up. Either way, he still tried and did exactly what a good friend would have done. This was as far as he could go.But there was one more thing …"Why am I the one to remind Sharon? It's not like you don't have her phone number!" Dylan lost his temper.Kevan said lightly, "She's your fiancée, not mine. If you don't want to remind her, then forget it. I won't even need to give out the timeframe of half a month, which is even better."Without waiting for Dylan to react, Kevan ended the video call.Dylan was so mad that he was gritting his teeth and shouted several strings of profanity. He sulkily called Sharon's number after he had calmed down.…The next day at work, Larissa was summoned by the general manager. He was waiting for her in his office, rubbing his hands with an unnatural smile on

Larissa left Jay's room, fully aware that she might face termination by the general manager. However, she was not afraid of this outcome. Jay might have the power to cost her job, but he was not able to do whatever he liked in Covenford.With her credentials and skills, finding another job in the industry wouldn't be difficult for Larissa. Surprisingly, the whole afternoon passed without any communication from the general manager.Larissa did not know if it was because Jay had not complained about her or if he did complain and the general manager chose to overlook the matter.But regardless of whichever it was, she did not care.…Not long after she clocked out, Larissa received a phone call from Zero, whom she had not met for a long time."My Lady Luck, you free tonight? You cool with supper?"Zero rarely called her out for a hangout, so Larissa could not find it in herself to refuse her."Sure. Send me the address."Supper was at a Southern-style diner that sold greasy foo

StreamWave was the exclusive platform for live-streaming the competition, so both parties would be collaborating closely. If StreamWave requested a favor from them, the organizers would be obligated to comply."Raina already asked. They said there's a limit to the total number of participants, and they've already arranged the competition schedule, so they can't forcibly stick in an extra person." Zero let out a long sigh before pushing an extra serving of steak toward Larissa. "Do eat more, Larissa! Let's enjoy the meal and stop thinking about such sad things!"…Larissa spent nearly two hours with Zero. When they emerged from the diner, they were pretty much stuffed."Huh? Isn't that Lana?" Zero exclaimed as she tugged on Larissa's down jacket's sleeve.Following where her finger was pointing, Larissa saw Lana and a man entering the high-end restaurant across the street. She did not get a good look at the man's face due to how dark it was, but she was sure that it was not Lucas.

"I saw Lana today." Larissa spoke very slowly, and her voice was hesitant.Before speaking, she was unsure if she should tell him about what happened tonight. However, she also felt that if Lana was really going to jump ship, StreamWave should be informed in advance to be prepared. Otherwise, the two participation spots given to her small anchors would be for naught.Kevan misunderstood her though. "She tried looking for trouble with you?" His eyes glinted dangerously, and his voice was sinisterly cold."No, no." Larissa quickly waved her hands. "I saw her, but she didn't see me."Kevan's coldness vanished at once. "So?" In the end, he was as calm as he was before.Larissa licked her lips. "She was eating with someone from LuminoLive. That guy tried to recruit Zero before …"She broke off at this point, and Kevan picked up where she left off. "So you think that he wants to recruit Lana too?"Larissa nodded minutely.Kevan recrossed his legs, his face remaining unchanged. "Lana

The heat permeated through the thin fabric and warmed Larissa's palm. It was so intense that it bordered on scorching, making her take shallow breaths in response."You … I …" Larissa started to become incoherent. Her tongue seemed to be all twisted up, and she could not utter a complete sentence at all.She curled up her fingers in an attempt to escape the source of the heat.Kevan grunted before taking a deep breath. "Larissa." He did his best to control himself, just barely forcing himself to speak in a hoarse voice. "I'm a normal man." He gazed at her with red eyes.The kiss on his neck appeared in Larissa's mind, and the smell of the thick Chanel 5 perfume seemed to surround Larissa at that moment."Don't you have a lover out there?" Jealous words escaped her as the fluster from before vanished entirely. She pressed her lips tightly together, and a faint hint of anger could be seen in her eyes.Kevan froze for a moment before a mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Are yo

As they were about to leave, Larissa noticed that Kevan had packed a portion of breakfast with him."It's for Dylan," he explained.After dropping Larissa off at the hotel, Kevan sent a WhatsApp text to Dylan. "Come to my office later. I've brought you breakfast."Dylan sent back several lines of question marks. "Has the sun risen from the west today?" he asked.Kevan snorted coldly. "If you don't want it, that's fine." He tossed his phone onto the passenger's seat and started the car again. As he drove, his phone kept vibrating with notifications. When he finally had a moment to look, he saw that the screen was filled with Dylan's responses."DONNN'T!""I'M SORRY!""MR. ROGERS!!""I'm sorry, okay???""You're the kindest fucking angel on this earth!""You're my role model for life!""I'm at your office, sir!""Ready to welcome you at any moment, sir!""Don't panic, and drive safely!""Much love and kisses!"When he imagined the last four words coming out of Dylan's mouth

"My Lady Luck! You're really my Lady Luck!" Zero called Larissa bright and early in the morning to report the good news to her. Her cheery voice was largely different from yesterday's despondency."The gaming company really gave StreamWave an additional spot! They even said that I'm the one who will be going!"Although she already knew beforehand from Kevan, it did not stop Larissa from being affected by Zero's joy through the phone call. A genuine smile appeared on her face."Congratulations on having what you wished for!"Zero couldn't stop giggling, probably because she was so happy about this wonderful news.The general manager suddenly called Larissa to attend a meeting, so she could not chat long with her. She simply congratulated Zero a few more times before hanging up the call.When Larissa entered the meeting room, she noticed that all the department managers were present. She let out a sigh of relief. Before attending the meeting, she had assumed that the general manage

The general manager didn't even ask if she was available to undertake the task. He frowned. "Didn't I tell you a day in advance?" Larissa pursed her lips and answered helplessly, "Okay." After working for so many years, Larissa had been on numerous work trips. However, she had always managed to avoid Bartham, and this visit marked her first time there. She would have arranged for a substitute if the general manager hadn't specifically requested her presence or if someone else could have conducted the training on her behalf. She packed two full suitcases since she would be there for a week. When Kevan returned at night and saw the suitcases, he was alarmed. He didn't even change out of his shoes. He simply ran straight into Larissa's bedroom.Larissa had an early flight the next morning, so she had an early dinner, showered, and was currently in bed with a face mask on. Kevan's sudden intrusion startled Larissa, leaving her in a state of shock. Reacting swiftly, she abruptly go
