Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 820

Larissa turned to look at Kevan in shock and nervousness.

"When Lari has more time, we can pack up and move." Kevan shot Larissa a smile, ignoring the questioning look in her eyes. "We have an event to attend at the kindergarten on Saturday. How about Sunday? Larissa's eyes grew wider, and she stammered at the unexpected news. "W-Where are we moving to? Why don't I know about this?"

Kevan let go of her waist and ruffled her hair affectionately. He whispered in a mysterious tone, "You'll replace out this Sunday."

When Kevan said to wait until Sunday, he absolutely would not reveal a hint about their new home before that.

Even though Larissa pestered him with questions throughout the entire ride to work, he remained tight-lipped. Larissa could not get any clues from him. When she got out of the car, Larissa slammed the door, seething with anger. Kevan covered his ears and stared after her retreating figure with a smile. Larissa arrived in the nick of time. Her new colleagues had all arrived. They were working swiftly and silently at their own tasks.

Perhaps because everyone was still unfamiliar with each other, or maybe it was just their usual habit of working.

Whenever someone passed by, it seemed as if they didn't notice. They didn't raise their heads to look around or judge others on their clothes and appearances. Larissa finally felt that she was back in a normal working environment. She didn't have to walk around with her head down for fear of incurring judgment. When she almost reached her desk, she felt two burning gazes boring into her from a distance.

The owner of that gaze was none other than Marilyn, who was sitting across from her.

Marilyn was her only friend in Blue Star Shipping.

Larissa was a little perplexed by Marilyn's intense stare. Turning on her computer, she logged into her messaging app and asked Marilyn, "What's wrong?"

She tried to recall their interactions from yesterday evening after bidding her goodbye. Up until now, they hadn't had any contact in between. She couldn't have done anything to offend Marilyn. Marilyn replied with an angry emoji. Larissa responded with a series of question marks.

The next second, she heard a rapid clatter of keystrokes from the other side.

From the intensity of her typing, it was obvious that Marilyn was in a bad mood.

Larissa's heart sank, feeling ill at ease.

Soon, Marilyn's message came. "You're so inconsiderate! How could you ask Mr. Logan Junior to send me home? Don't you know how awkward I felt yesterday? I'm so mad right now!"

So that was the issue.

Larissa breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't a fool. She could tell that Marilyn had a crush on Lewis.

Lewis, however ...

If she did not create opportunities for them, it would be impossible for Marilyn to confess to him.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry!" Larissa apologized profusely, but she did not mean it.

Inwardly, she wasn't sorry for what she did.

"Mr. Logan Junior even noticed the mark on my cheek! My image is completely ruined! I'm going crazy! He saw me in such an ugly state! Don't stop me. I'm going to jump off a building now!" Larissa couldn't see the expression on Marilyn's face as they were separated by a partition. However, Larissa could feel her frustration based on her messages alone.

Marilyn was particularly concerned about her image. She dared not show herself without makeup in front of ordinary colleagues.

It was worse now that the person she liked caught sight of her being less than perfect. Larissa could understand the frustration she must have felt.
