Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 806

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 her back and crossed her arms. Because of her height, she deliberately looked down at them in a

mocking manner.

“You’ve been trying everything to get rid of me, but you people were the ones who lost your jobs.” Larissa imitated the tone of villains in movies and cackled. “I can only say that you guys overestimated

your self–worth. Or maybe, you guys are completely stupid!

“You!” Nina turned red with anger and raised her hand to slap Larissa,

Larissa was already prepared to intercept her and counterattack. Suddenly, someone bumped into her, causing her to stumble to the side.

The next second, a loud slap was heard. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Larissa turned to look in disbelief. Marilyn wasn’t originally in range of Nina’s slap, but somehow, she was now standing in Larissa’s previous position. She held her cheek with her head turned to one side.

Larissa rushed to Marilyn and asked. “Marlyn, are you okay?”

Marilyn’s eyes were red and glistening with tears. No one knew whether it was due to pain or grievance. She forced out a smile and comforted Larissa. “I’m fine.” Rubbing her cheek, she faced Nina in her usual reserved manner.

“You have two minutes to get out of here. If anyone is still here when the lime is up. I will call the police. I believe this is good enough evidence,” Marilyn said, pointing to the red mark on her cheek.

Marilyn was Gary’s spokesperson, so she was highly respected among the employees in the presidential office. In addition, Nina knew that Marilyn had the upper hand. Although Nina was reluctant, she led the group away dejectedly.

Before they let the conference room, Nina threatened Larissa, “Everyone in our department is leaving, so all the operations in the presidential office will come to a halt. Mr. Logan Junior will regret it sooner or later! Let’s see how long you can remain smua!”

Larissa felt somewhat worried about it too, yet she couldn’t show her concern openly. With a cold laugh, she said. “You’d better worry about the hefty contract penalty! Blue Star Shipping has nothing to do with you in the future!”

When she mentioned the contract penally lee, everyone’s faces turned pale. They fed with their tails between their legs.

After everyone left, Larissa focused her attention on Marlyn. She felt both sorry and guilty when she saw the mark on Marilyn’s cheek. “It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have taken that bit if I had stopped her earlier.”

“It’s not your fault. I decided to step in to block the hit, but I think my actions were unnecessary, You could have dodged that, I did that out of instcl. My body moved before my brain did.” Embarrassed, Marilyn smiled and palled Larissa’s hand.

“Not at all! I’m thankful for your help. Otherwise, I would be the one getting slapped.” Larissa wouldn’t be so retarded to deny her sacrifice.

‘Does it still hurt? It seems she hit you pretty hard. Should I tell Mr. Logan Junior so that you can go to the Infirmary for some medicine?”

Nina was strong, so her slap should be quite heavy. Although Marilyn was tall, she was thinner than Larissa. Il seemed like she didn’t exercise much. It would be extra painful for her to withstand that
