Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 814

The atmosphere at the table was usually cheerful. Aster and Wendy were die-hard fans of Kevan. They showered him with praise and compliments on everything he did.

Fortunately, Kevan was used to such attention. Throughout dinner, he remained calm and did not let their praises get to his head.

Larissa disapproved of their flattery and refused to associate with them.

She lowered her head and focused on shoving food into her mouth. Larissa did not engage in any conversation that was unrelated to her.

Halfway through the meal, Kevan asked Wendy, "What time will your friend arrive tomorrow? I don't have much to do, so I can help you pick him up."

Wendy had her mouth full of food at that moment. When she heard the question, she almost choked on her dinner. She quickly took some tissue and covered her mouth, coughing and sputtering. Larissa poured a glass of water for Wendy and patted her back to help her recover. After a long while, Wendy finally caught her breath.

"No need to trouble you, Mr. Rogers! His partner will send a car to pick him up. His hotel arrangements have already been made as well." She waved off Kevan's offer with a nervous expression. "Alright. If you need anything, just let me know." Kevan did not insist.

"Sure," Wendy answered politely.

Larissa was a little puzzled when she listened to the conversation.

Kevan wasn't one to meddle in others' affairs. Besides, he wouldn't degrade himself to act as a driver and pick someone up at the airport. His behavior tonight was unusual. Larissa suspected that he knew Wendy's mysterious friend.

Nibbling on her fork, Larissa tried to recall. She had not mentioned this to Kevan before, and Wendy wouldn't either. Perhaps Wendy's mysterious friend was someone close to Kevan. That man revealed his relationship with Wendy to the public, which was why Kevan knew.

However, Larissa struggled to think of anyone else other than Dylan who was close to Kevan. If it were Dylan, it would explain why Wendy kept their relationship hidden. After all, having an affair was a serious matter.

However, that man was coming to Westonia to attend the hotel industry summit. Since Dylan was a lawyer, it was out of the question.

Besides, she heard that man's voice just now. While the sound was distorted, she was certain it sounded nothing like Dylan.

Larissa found herself in a dilemma. She realized it was because she knew too little about Kevan and felt ashamed.

Kevan knew everything about her. He knew her birthday, zodiac sign, blood type, and her preferences. In addition, he remembered the names of her family, friends, and close colleagues. What impressed her the most was his ability to sense a slight shift in her emotions. Yet, she couldn't reciprocate what he did for her. Kevan noticed Larissa's dejection.

After dinner, he cornered Larissa and forced her to wash the dishes with him.

Wendy and Aster slouched on the sofa with full stomachs. They watched on with amusement, clearly enjoying themselves.
