After Kevan sent Aster to school, he came back to the car. When he got in, his gaze drifted to Larissa, who was sitting in the backseat. She was staring blankly out the window while leaning against the door. He did not know what she was thinking about.She seemed to be like this all the way from home as long as Aster was not talking to her."What's wrong?" Kevan asked her.Larissa snapped out of it and forced a smile. "Just figured something out.""What?" Kevan was a little stunned."Nothing." Larissa shook her head before changing the topic to Kevan himself. "How long are you going to stay here this time?""I haven't decided." Kevan started the car. He looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Why?""Just asking." Larissa casually wrote it off before looking out the window in silence again.Kevan shoved down all the questions in his heart, but his worry just could not disappear. When did this change in Larissa happen? Kevan tried to recall carefully. It seemed to b

Larissa's colleagues had different expressions on their faces. Their attitudes to her were different too.The male colleagues were quite friendly. Some smiled at her, some nodded, and some waved too. Although the female colleagues were smiling, their smiles did not reach their eyes. Larissa could even see some obvious hatred on their faces.She did not know where the hatred came from—her role was not the same as theirs, she would not threaten their positions at all. As for her appearance … Well, it was no match for theirs either.Larissa could only pretend that she had not seen anything. She just pretended to be a dummy and treated everyone politely.Lewis' office was next to Gary's, and it was at the innermost part of this floor.Gary's secretary, who had greeted her before, still recognized her. The moment she saw her, she stood up at once. Her greeting was still friendly despite her panic. "Are you looking for Mr. Logan Senior?"Larissa processed this title. "Mr. Logan Senior"

Marilyn went to the cafeteria to get two lunches. When she was waiting for the elevator, she happened to meet people from the presidential office.There were some who she was friendlier with. They deliberately leaned in and asked her, "Marilyn, do you know the background of that new assistant?"Marilyn's predecessor, Gary's previous secretary, was fired because she leaked his private information by accident. She was unable to find a job in Westonia because Gary purposely made sure that she would not be able to. Having no other choice, she went back to her hometown.Learning this lesson, Marilyn always kept her mouth shut whenever it came to Gary or Lewis' private lives."No idea," she said.Someone noticed that she was carrying two trays."Who are you bringing lunch to?"Because Mr. Logan Senior and Junior's lunches were arranged to come from high-end restaurants, they naturally thought that it was for "that new assistant."The elevator happened to arrive then. Marilyn entered

Aster and Freddy were in the same kindergarten. Because they were half a year apart, they studied in different class groups.They did not have much interaction in school. They would greet each other and chat a little on the rare chance they met each other when going to school and going home after school.However, these little interactions were gone ever since the unhappy incident from before.Larissa did not know how she should react.Aster's little act of revenge was definitely childish, and should not be encouraged. But she could totally understand his extreme sensitivity. Besides, it was not like Aster's goal was to hurt anyone. So, she rubbed his head and smiled resignedly as she asked, "Are you happy now?"Aster nodded hard. "Yep! Freddy won't ever say that I don't have a daddy anymore!"Larissa's heart ached immediately. "Yeah!" She pressed her lips tightly together and forced back the tears that she could feel were coming.Kevan had missed their conversation. When he got

Because they were watching the same movie, Larissa's group of three met Allen and Freddy in the theater a few minutes later. Allen and Freddy's seats were in the row in front of them.It was unsure if it was due to Allen and Freddy getting a huge blow earlier outside, or if they were trying to avoid the attention of the other audience. But when they passed by in front of Larissa, they did not stop at all.The lights turned off quickly.Allen and Freddy vanished in the dark, and Larissa could no longer see them.Disnie movies were suitable for all ages, so the plot would be a bit childish for adults. Larissa only watched halfway before she fell asleep.She was woken by Aster. When she woke up, the movie was already finished. The lights in the theater were bright.The seats in the rows below them were all empty. A few cinema staff were cleaning up the trash row by row.Aster stood in front of Larissa. He was still hugging the popcorn bucket that was not finished. He was frowning h
