Chapter 913
Sweet Subterfuge
Lewisâ timing was too coincidental Larissa had just told Marilyn that Lewis was not free, and now he was inviting her to have dinner.
No matter how it was, it looked like Larissa was the one who had done something on purpose to âbreak upâ this couple from becoming real.
âMr. Logan Junior.â Larissa tried to distance hersell from it all. âWhy are you leaving so early today?â
âItâs the weekend.â Lewisâ response was simple and to the point. âSo, do you want to go grab dinner with me?â he asked again.
Worried that Larissa would say no, he added, âMy treat.â
âUhâ¦â Larissa hesitated before an idea hit her. âWhy donât we bring Marilyn? Marilyn was going to treat you too, right?â
Marilyn was a little panicked at being named by Larissa. She smiled awkwardly and said. âNext time maybe. Isnât Mr. Logan Junior going to treat you today? I wonât interrupt.â

âThink about what youâve said to Uncle Gary about me and Marilyn?â Lewis hinted at her.
Larissa wilted Immediately. âWhy does Dad tell you everything!â She was really annoyed.
âHe didnât tell me directly, but he asked tentatively if I had feelings for Marilyn. But this isnât something that Uncle Gary would da, only you. âLewis did not even need to think to know who was planning all this behind the scenes.
âLarissa-â Lewis braced himself on the table and bent down a little as he got closer to Larissa. He asked in a low voice. âDidnât I fucking tell you that you should leave my relationship status alone? And that you better not try to matchmake me with anyone?
âEr Larissa was defeated by his strong aura as she gradually began to back away. âSorry, I was wrong.â
She always knew when to back oll and apologize quickly.
âYouâre wrong, and?â Lewisâ eyes narrowed and his voice grew unhappy. âWould you dare repeat it?â
There was the sound of something dropping to the floor. Larissa and Lewis were both startled as they turned to look
