Chapter 675
Sweet Subterfuge
Larissa was used to seeing young girls like Milly.
If this were before, she would have put an end to what Milly was thinking. But Larissa really liked Milly, so she did not expose Millyâs feelings. She even did her best to give Milly the answers she wanted, âHeâs like a brother to me. If he had a girlfriend, she may not get jealous over this sort of thing.â
Milly relaxed.
âYour cousin doesnât have a girlfriend?!â
She widened her eyes.
âHeâs so handsome! How can he not have a girlfriend?! You canât be lying to me, right?â
Larissa found it odd as well. With how Lewis looked, it was weird for him not to have a girlfriend. She could only think of one explanation.
âMaybe itâs because heâs so busy with work. Thatâs why he doesnât have time to get a girlfriend.â
âWhat does your cousin do? Why would he be so busy that he canât even get a girlfriend?â
Milly straightened up at once. Her face was super serious like she was discussing a very philosophical problem with Larissa.
âHe helps my dad with the company.â
Larissa did not go into detalls for lear of scaring Milly.
âAhââMilly nodded. She did not look quite as eager as she did before. âThen, yeah, heâs quite busy.â
Well Milly had been scared off.
Larissa was annoyed with herself when she suddenly heard Milly say, âSpeaking of, though, your cousin canât be as busy as Mr. Rogers, right? Because even Mr. Rogers could take time out to fall in love with someone else Milly was referring to Kevan.
As the guy who kept his top spot in Forbesâ lists for richest men in Caldor, he was probably the busiest man in the country to Milly.
âYou donât know how long Mr. Rogers waited in the living room yesterday. When I left, he was still there.â
Millyâs voice was filled with admiration. If Milly had not said it Larissa would not have known a thing about it.
Now that Larissa knew about it her feelings became more and more complicated.
âWhat happened to that former colleague of yours you spoke about yesterday?â Larissa forcibly changed the subject.
Milly did not notice Larissaâs plan. She was distracted at once. âHeâs still pleading for mercy with his superior, but itâs useless. Once the director makes a decision, how could his superior go against the director?
âIf I were him, Iâd find another job at a different hospital. For someone like him who is willing to interact with dead people, itâs easy for him to find jobs. But he had to cling to his current oneââ
Milly was too innocent.
Based on what Larissa knew about Kevan, once he made someone lose their job, they would never be able to find another job ever again.
*Arenât you guys trying to make a donation? Is there an account number? Iâd like to make an effort too.â
This matter started because of her, after all. Larissa felt guilty, and she wanted to make it up to the young man.
Milly waved her hands. âThis is just a donation run thatâs between us colleagues. We wonât take money from others. But if you really want to help him, can you give him back his job?
Milly already heard her colleagues say that the young man lost his job because he offended Yvetteâs daughter.
He was indeed very dedicated to his job. He hated family members who left their dead at the hospital morgue. So, when he laced people The young man had not figured things out that day. He only knew that Yvelle had been in the morgue for a very long time. So, he automatically assumed Larissa was being disrespectful and caused trouble for her on purpose.
After Larissa listened to Millyâs explanation, she was silent for a moment. Then, she spoke. âTil try to give him back his job.â
It was not like she could guarantee that Kevan would listen to her.
Alter Milly left, Larissa sent a WhatsApp text to Kevan.
âAre you free today? I want to talk to you about something.â
Kevan was likely busy, as he only responded a while later.
âI head over around 6pm.â
Larissa replied. âOkay.â
It was hard to wait. She had a lot on her mind, and so she could not sleep. Larissa watched a few TV programs before the clock struck si Kevan gave her a phone call âOpen the door. Im outside your room.â
