Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Edmund hadn’t anticipated Larissa’s strong reaction. He looked at her with a hint of admiration in his exes “The applications will get rejected if we submit them frequently he said “How about this-let’s try a different approach. You stay here to now and Itt subent another application once the housing department is back on track after the big family reunion dinner. To be honest, we need you move here than in Coverlord reforms can’t be accomplished in just two weeks. It’s a king process, which is why I hope you can stay Bharthar Everything about him-his words, tone, and demeanor-all seemed genuine. If it weren’t for Kevan’s initial warming and her aversion to being in Bartham, she might have been convinced by him already “I disagree,” she firmly rejected. “If you can’t resolve this, I’ll contact headquarters mysel Due to Edmund’s persistence, Larissa had no choice but to seek help from her actual superior to explain the situation to headquarters She also sent an email expressing her unawareness of the decision made by headquarters and her desire to return to Covenford However, headquarters remained unyielding and even swiftly transferred her personnel Hite to Bartham Seeing that she had no other options, she reluctantly turned to Kevan for assistance.

Since their last unpleasant incident, Kevan had been coming and going at odd hours. By the time she woke up, he had already left, and the would return when she went to sleep. Over the past week, they shared the same suite but hadn’t crossed paths event once She lingered in the living room until 11.30 pm when she finally heard the sound of the door opening. Kevan didn’t expect Larissa to wait for him, and his footsteps momentarily paused when he saw her. Eventually, he spoke, “Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?” His voice sounded h oa rse, and after speaking, he pressed his fist against his lips and coughed softby a couple of times. Instantly, she forgot about her issue. “Are you catching a cold?” she asked anxiously. “Is it serious? Did you take medicine? Should I call the front desk and ask them to bring up some cold medicine?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Her concern warmed his heart, and the days of irritation and headaches seemed to alleviate. “It’s not serious. I’ve taken medicine. No need to send anything,” he patiently answered each of her questions, She tiptoed toward him and gently placed her hand on his forehead, confirming that their temperatures were almost identical before gradually easing her worry. “You’re sick, so why didn’t you come back earlier to rest?” she asked, and her gaze cattled a hint of reproach. His throat tickled, and he coughed a couple of times before reluctantly answering, “There’s too much work at the company. I’ve been in meetings all the time.” He had been busy attending various meetings, but it was not just dealing with the company’s affairs. He had only been at Covenford for a short while, and the people from the Rogers family had already started showing signs of a comeback. He wasn’t particularly worried though. After all, their feeble attempts were nothing more than a joke. If he could subdue them once, he could subdue them again. “Work is never-ending, but your health is the most important,” she advised. “I know” As he spoke, his gaze softened, and his tone filled with Indulgent helplessness. This made her heart tremble, and her face immediately blushed. Lowering her head, she softly urged, “Go back to your room and rest!” But he didn’t move. “You waited for me here because you have something to discuss, right?” he asked. Although they hadn’t met face-to-face these past few days, he was well aware of what had happened to her. He pretended not to know anything, wanting to see when she would remember him. Luckily, despite the unsatisfactory process, at least the result was what he had hoped for. Only then did she remember the purpose of waiting for him all night. Chapter 274 “Your cousin didn’t inform me and had headquarters transfer me to Bartham. I applied to return to Covenford, but my request was rejected, * she explained.

He raised an eyebrow. “So, you want me to intervene and transfer you back to Covenford?” She nodded in agreement.
