Chapter 766
Marilyn shoved the remaining cr ackers into her mouth while turning her head. She was avoiding Lewisâ
question.
Compared to Marilyn, Larissa felt more at ease with him,
She said calmly. âThe cafeteria is crowded. I donât think I can wait in the long lines, so i brought Marilyn along.â
He looked at her before telling Marilyn, âOrder four meals from tomorrow onward. You can eat upstairs.â
Marilyn hurriedly nodded. âOkay.â
She hadnât swallowed her cra ckers. A few crumbs slid into her throat while she was talking. She began coughing because of it.
Frowning, he handed his credit card to Larissa. âYour lunchtime is extended for another two hours.
Grab something at a nearby restaurant.
Itâs on me.â
Although she tumed the offer down, she accepted the suggestion for the extended lunchtime.
Blue Star Tower was located in the prosperous area of Westonia. There were a lot of restaurants in its vicinity.
Larissa chose a restaurant from Marilynâs suggestion. They occupied a table that was in a quiet comer.
âLarissa.â
Now that Lewis was not around. Marilyn could confidently voice her doubt âWhy didnât you tell the truth to Mr. Logan Junior? I bet he wonât let it slide that easily.â
âItâs useless.âLarissa stopped flipping through the menu as she smiled helplessly.

Marilyn became brighter because they were not in a serious atmosphere, hence the appearance of her talkative side.
âLarissa.â She suddenly became shy with red cheeks. âAbout your dilver Is he laken?â
It took a while for Larissa to register who Marilyn meant by that.
âHeâ Larissaâs chest felt stutty as she noticed the anticipation in Marilynâs eyes.
After a moment of hesitation, she lowered her head. âHe has a girlfriendâ
Marilyn was disappointed. âThat makes sense. How can someone hot like him not be taken?â
Larissa chuckled wryly and drank water to quell her guilt
By the time they returned to the presidential office, the other staff had been working for over an hour,
No one watched them leave, so no one knew of their whereabouts.
âWhere have you guys been? Why are you back only now?â asked one of the curious colleagues
Marlyn replied coldly. âWe were helping Mr. Logan Senior with something.â
All of the calculating gazes were shifted away from them upon her answer.
âLarissa,â A male colleague called Larissa.
âGot it. Thanks.â She smiled,
She wondered. âOnly a few people know I changed my job. They usually wonât send me anything, though. Even if they have something for
me, they wouldâve done it personally.â
She walked to her desk. There was a box on it
