Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 810

Lew’s was Gary’s executive assistant and the backbone of the entire presidential ollice.

Apart from Marilyn, he oversaw the work of everyone in the department. They all reported their work to him. Thus, he knew each person’s job scope and progress like the back of his hand. It was as if he was doing the work Hrsell,

Handing over tasks to a dozen people was time–consuming and difficult. However, when it came to Lewis, he completed his work in last motion. Everything progressed at double speed. Before the end of the day, the presidential office had resumed normal operations.

After resolving all the issues, Lewis stretched his sore back and pounded it sporadically with his arm. Larissa looked up and offered without hesitation, “Do you need me to help with that?

She said that cut of instinct. She had forgotten to maintain her distance from Lewis.

The words had left her mouth when she snapped back to reality, Flustered. Larissa looked at Marilyn who was sitting across from he

her.

Marilyn was looking at her with a frown. Nalicing her glance, Marilyn smiled at her and lowered her head to locus on her work as if she hadn’t heard anything.

Lewis stopped in front of Larissa’s desk and looked down at her. He said formally. “Flatlery won’t work with me. Your bonus for this month is docked.”

Larissa responded, “Never mind then.” Retracting her concem, she pretended to reply coldly.

When Leais returned to his office, she messaged him immediately. “Thanks for your quick thinking! Otherwise, our relationship would have been exposed!‘ Lewis took the chance and joked. “How will you thank me? How about paying for dinner tonight?”

“I can’t de dinner tonight. We will have stew for dinner tomorrow. Would you like to join us?” Larissa remembered her promise to Kevan.

“Sure, ask Mr. Rogers to buy more ingredients. I have a hip appetite.” Lewis didn’t held back.

“Lewis, Inever thought that you were so shameless! The longer Larissa spent time with Lewis, the more she saw a side of him that he never showed anyone else.

Although it wasn’t all good, his imperfections made Lewis seem more human. In her eyes, Lewis was no longer the perfect unattainable being. He was truly her cousin now.

Lewis sent a pouty emoji and continued making his requests, “Don’t make the stew too spicy. I can’t take the heat. It would be great if you could make two different flavors of stew.

“I like lamb, so you can get that to put in the stew. For the other, maybe you can get some seafood, I prefer lobsters and abalone. They might be pricey, but it’s nothing to Kewan.”

Cursing him mentally for being shameless. Larissa ended the conversation with a smiling emojt

Despite the chaos at the presidential office, they managed to leave work on time, thanks to Lewis leadership.

Larissa took her phone out of the drawer. Kevan’s WhatsApp message had arrived ten minutes ago. “We’he downstairs.”

She replied. “I just got off work. I’ll be right down.”

As she got up. Marilyn Inked arms with her.

Are you leaving? Marilyn asked. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

‘Yes.‘ Larissa’s gaze unconsciously drifted to Marlyn’s cheek

The mark on Marilyn’s face had started fading. However, it seemed swollen. Although she tried to cover up with foundation, a slight Swelling still could be seen.

“Remember to apply the ointment when you get back, Larissa reminded her.

“What of

ointment? Lewis‘ voice came from behind, startling them.

Marilyn lowered her head and covered her cheek vill her hands.
