Chapter 938
Sweet Subterfuge
âSharon!â Brian called out.
The person walking up the stairs looked up and flashed a smile at him. âUncle Brian!â
Larissa was stunned. Although there was a significant change in her appearance, it was none other than Sharon Davis who was standing below them at this moment!
She stared at Sharon without shifting her gaze.
Her intense stare quickly caught Sharonâs attention.
However, she seemed completely unsurprised by Larissaâs presence here.
Sharon quickened her steps and wrapped her arm around Larissa affectionately. âLari! What are you doing here?â
Larissa had only met Sharon a few times, so they werenât very close. Her sudden friendliness took Larissa by surprise and her body stiffened inexplicably.
Sharon winked at Larissa and continued speaking, although Larissa couldnât understand a word. âI heard from Dylan that you and Kevan came back to Caldor together. I was actually planning to arrange a meeting with you. I never expected to run into you at Thompson Medical What a coincidence!â
Before Larissa could think of a response. Brian asked. âSharon, are you friends with Ms. Larissa from Blue Star Shipping?â
âOf course! Lari and I were close before she went abroad. We used to hang out all the time!â Sharon drew closer to Larissa.
âWell, thatâs quite a coincidence.â Brian seemed to have warmed up somewhat toward Larissa. His gaze was more sincere and less distant. âSince thatâs the case, how about we have lunch together?â
âThat sounds great!â Sharon agreed happily. Turning to Larissa, she gestured to Lewis. âDo both of you have time?â
âWe are available.â Lewis nodded. Larissa chimed in as well âYes, letâs go.â
Thompson Medical was located in a remote area, so there were no decent restaurants nearby.
Fortunately, they were not too picky with food. In the end, Brian decided on a restaurant a restaurant with private rooms.
The restaurantâs ambiance was not great. The floor was greasy, the walls were covered with mold, and the furniture was bare.
âMr. Lewis, Ms. Larissa, sorry for the poor environment. Next time when I have some time off, I treat you to a better meal in the city!â Brian said as he unwrapped the packaging for the disposable utensils.
âMr. Ackley, youâre too kind. Itâll be our turn to treat you next time.â Lewis got up and filled his cup with tea.
The both of them exchanged pleasantries while Larissa listened quietly. She occasionally took a sip of tea from her cup.
Sharon was uninterested in their conversation. She leaned over to Larissa and asked in a low voice.
âWhen did you return to Caldor?â
Her tone was not as exaggerated as when they first met at Thompson Medical. Besides, her question seemed sincere.
âWe just arrived yesterday,â Larissa replied with a smile. She tried to put on a front that she and Sharon were close friends.
âThis time you came back to Caldor to discuss business with Thomspon Medical?â Sharon asked.
âYes, Larissa replied.
After heating Larissaâs confirmation, Sharon suddenly frowned.
âSo, will you be returning to Aldovia after this? She didnât seem thrilled about news.
âYes. Our current plan is to stay in Caldor for three to live days. It depends on whether the business deal is successful Larissa explained.
