Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 809

Nina’s slap was hetty, whereas Marilyn’s skin was lair and delicate. Alter half an hour, the mark on her lace hadn’t faded. It seemed to become redder and more swollen.

Before lunch break ended. Larissa rejected her suggestion of covering it up with foundallor. She dragged Marilyn to the infirmary without hesitation.

The doctor prescribed an anti–inflammatory ointment, but it couldn’t be applied directly. Marilyn had to remove her makeup first.

Marilyn grabbed Larissa’s hand desperately, almost begging on her knees. “I’ll apply when I get home. I’ll put on a thick layer. Would that

work?”

Everyone has the desire to look beautiful. Although Larissa didn’t care much for makeup, she could understand if others were reluctant to remove it.

“Alright, make sure you apply it properly tonight! Otherwise, the swelling might not go down.”

“Okay!” Marilyn nodded.

The entire alte moon at the presidential office was spent in chaos.

Employees transferred from other departments arrived at 2:00 pm. Their arrival startled the presidential office’s employees who were waiting for the HR department to process their resignation.

Lewis was waiting at the door for them. He led the incoming employees to their seals one by one, replacing each cutgoing slatt member.

He did not mention the matter of handover procedures. Apart from Larissa, no one knew about it. When Lewis announced it publicly. everyone was stunned. After recovering from the shack, they were displeased.

“You said we could leave in the afternoon! Why do we have to hand over our work now?”

“Yeah! Can your word’s even be trusted now?”

“Since

ce you agreed to let us go, don’t go back on your word!”

Lewis stood in the center of the crowd and waited for them to finish complaining.

“Regardless of any company, you need to hand over your work before resigning. I only need an alternoon of your time. After the handover, you can start work at Moorewell Shipping tomorroOW,

“Of course, you can choose not to hand over and leave now. Since you’re going to lose a lortune anyway, a little more wouldn’t hurt,” he

said coolly.

As soon as he said that, some gave up and sat down on their seats to hand over their tasks. Others stubbornly refused to as through with the resignation process and left with their personal belongings

Those leaving urged the rest who stayed behind. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go! Since we’re already going to lose money, why let them have it easy? Since they don’t appreciate us, we won’t oblige them either!”

Seeing some hesitating, Nina stomped and threatened, “If you don’t leave now, you will bear the consequences”

The rest got up from their seals reluctantly. After they left, hall of the presidential office was emoty Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Larissa asked Lewis with a worried look, “Now that everyone’s gone, how will we proceed with the handover?”

Lewis seemed to have expected this result. He sad calmly, “We weren’t going to do the handover with them in the first place.”

“What? Then who will hand over the tasks? Larissa sald, puzzled.

Lewis smirked. “I will,”
