Sweet Subterfuge Chapter 948
Plans to return to Westonia were quickly arranged. Larissa stayed two nights at Kevan's home. She had arranged to meet with Lewis directly at the airport on the day of their departure. Lewis didn't ask where she had been for the past two days. He already knew the answer. However, he expressed his confusion when he saw her alone. "Isn't Aster returning with us?" In Larissa's original plans, Aster was to return to Westonia with her. However, Kevan's parents insisted on keeping him with them due to the risk of contracting the virus. Kevan had also mentioned that Cody might act erratically when forced into a corner. In the end, Larissa decided to leave Aster at the Rogers' villa which would be safer. Larissa answered, "He wants to stay back and play for a few more days. Kevan will bring him back to Westonia." Lewis went silent and didn't ask further. The plane touched down in Westonia at noon. Due to Gary's urging, Lewis had no time to get over his jetlag and went straigh

"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

Lewis was waiting downstairs for Larissa. She didn't bring her car, so he had to drive her home. Larissa asked Lewis, "Are we going to keep the collaboration with Thompson Medical a secret from everyone in the company?" "Let's keep it a secret for now. Thompson Medical's contract with their previous shipping company hasn't expired yet. We have two weeks to find out the mole's identity," Lewis replied. "Do we have to keep it a secret from Marilyn? She has been with the company for several years. Besides, she didn't need to do this sort of thing …" Larissa was perplexed. After all, Marilyn was the first person in the presidential office to be kind to her. She had also helped her deal with Judy and her gang. Although Marilyn was on the list of suspects, Larissa had never doubted her. "Don't forget, Marilyn is the most frequent visitor among the employees of the presidential office who entered Gary's office. Given the current situation, no one can be trusted," Lewis reminded he

An ungrateful person like Judy should just experience more of society's harsh realities!"What's wrong again?" Wendy strolled out of her room. She had a white mud mask applied on her face while wearing a white cotton nightgown. She scared the living death out of Larissa."Don't you have other nightgowns to wear? And your face—" Larissa leaned against the armrest of the couch as she put a hand against her pounding heart. She did not want to look at Wendy any more than she should."This nightgown is comfortable and cool." Wendy sat next to Larissa as she complained while painting her nails. "The thermostat here is too warm! It's still fucking hot even if I wasn't wearing anything while lying down.""Your body is still weak, so you must take care not to catch a cold." Larissa told Wendy off."I know my body." Wendy was not worried. "Hey—" She turned to look at Larissa as she asked randomly, "What are your … thoughts on the future?""What future? What thoughts?" Larissa did not get i

However, Larissa was called back into Lewis' office once again. What surprised her was that Gary was there too, and he looked just as grim as Lewis. This weird atmosphere made Larissa nervous. She carefully closed the door but she did not move her hand away from the door handle."What's … wrong with you two?"She looked at both men very nervously—the moment there was something, she would totally run away without looking back."Relax, we're not getting you to go on blind dates," Lewis spoke.Larissa sighed in relief. She went over to sit next to Gary and asked, "So, something's up with the company again?""I just got a call …" Lewis glanced at Larissa. "It's that friend from Moorewell who called in the morning. He said that Judy got fired because she had completed the mission that Moorewell had given her.""Mission? What mission?" Larissa did not understand. "Her mission was already completed, so why was she still fired by Moorewell?""Reportedly, she has a spy in the company. Th

"What else can you do other than pour coffee for Mr. Logan Senior?" Larissa asked her.Marilyn's work was related to Gary only—she was in charge of some of his personal matters during working hours and arranging his schedule for the day.Before Blue Star Shipping had all these issues, Gary's routine was regular. He would get off work on time every day. The company's partners knew about this, so they would not make any calls after working hours.Therefore, to Larissa, Marilyn had no reason to work overtime."Hey!" Marilyn glared as she grumbled. "I can do more than that, you know! Don't look down on me! I can totally just—" She grinned slyly. "Pour more coffee for Mr. Logan Senior."…They worked overtime until 9:00 pm. Larissa concentrated on her own work and did not pay attention to what Marilyn was doing. She vaguely remembered Marilyn getting up a few times to bring coffee to Gary's office.Finally, Gary was off work. He stopped in front of Marilyn and said to her, "You don

Lewis had a suitcase he specifically used for business trips. There were a few sets of clothes inside and some daily necessities. He always put this suitcase in his car, so he could leave at any time for any last-minute business trips.Now, this suitcase was serving its purpose.Larissa arranged for Lewis to stay in another guest room. It was just next door to Wendy's. Wendy had met Lewis a few times. Although they were not "familiar" with each other, they were not complete strangers either.Wendy had nothing against Lewis coming. She also did not think that her life would be impacted as well. After all, Lewis and Larissa usually left early and came home late. They spent very little time with her at home."Have you guys had dinner?" Wendy asked Lewis and Larissa before Lewis entered the guest room to clear it up for himself.Lewis and Larissa had worked overtime and had just gotten home now. They had no time to eat at all."Is there anything else left to eat here?" Larissa had no

"Alright." Lewis picked up the spoon and ate some lasagna. "Wendy's cooking is not bad." He praised her sincerely. "Everything is well cooked but not mushy. It's better than the one you made last time."Last time during the steak dinner, Larissa had made some lasagna too. But she did not do it well and the dish turned mushy. A light poke with a fork destroyed it very easily.Lewis took another mouthful of lasagna before he remembered. "Help me thank her."Larissa was not happy due to Lewis' praise of her friend and criticism of her. She refused angrily. "Go tell her yourself! I'm not a fucking messenger you can just order around!"…Wendy woke late, so the caretaker came late every day too. Larissa could not wait for the caretaker to come and make breakfast, and The house had no food, so she could only go out and eat with Lewis.She went to the McRonald's nearby the company and ordered two takeaway set meals. After she went upstairs, she sent one to Lewis' office. When she came o
