Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 704



Lewis didn’t dare to let her out alone, nor let anyone else accompany her. He delayed his work at hand and personally brought
Larissa to the Winston Hotel.
Although she had worked there for many years, Larissa stil felt a sense of unfamiliarity when she looked at the tall building in
front of her. It was because she hadn’t been there for more than a year.
“Go in.”
Lewis gave her a push in the back.
The layout of the Winston Hotel’s headquarters had not changed since Larissa was transfered to Bartham
Her bass. Alen Grint still had his office in its original location.
Larissa asked Lewis to wait for her outside, then she knocked on the door to Allen’s allice. Allen had already known about her
arrival from his secretary, so he came to open the door personally.
“Larissa” Alen puled Larissa in for a warm hug. “Have you decided to return to work?”
When Larissa was admitted to the hospital, she had asked to resign from the headquarters. She didn’t want to cause any
problems in the management of the hotel. Alas, Allen refused to accept her resignation letter. In return, she was given unlimited
leave without pay,
but her
position remained
During her stay at the hospital Allen had sent her emails of concem and asked about the hospital’s address. He had intended to
visit with a few of Larissa’s colleagues.
Unfortunately, Gary was reluctant as news about Larssa may spread. This would cause more trouble for them, so he asked
Lewis to reject Allen’s request.
“No.” Larissa said, suddenly finding it difficult to speak.
Since she started working. Allen had been the best superior she ever had. He was kind and considerate to all his subordinates.
Larissa lelt sad that she was going to disappoint her superior, who had high hopes for her.

Allen noticed Larissa’s arm, which was wrapped in gauze. With a disappointed look on his face, he replied, “Have you not
recovered yet? Rebecca said that you came, so I thought you were here to start work again.”
The quilt weighing on Larissa’s heart became heavier. “Actually, I came to give you my resignation letter.” Lowering her head,
Larissa avoided Allen’s gaze.
Widening his eyes, Allen’s voice rose inexplicably. “Why? I’ve told you before that I am willing to wait until you fully recover,”
The more considerate he was of her, the more Larissa le guilty.
“It’s not that I decided to work in my family’s business,” Lanssa replied in a shaky voice, tears swimming in her eyes.
Allen didn’t expect that she would give such an excuse. His eyes widened even more. “Your larly’s business? If It’s just a small
company. it would be better to stay at Winston.”
From what he knew, Larissa was a single mother who needed to feed her only son. She didn’t have a strong family background.
Now that she had risen to such a position in Winston, her future was bright. It was beller than inheriting some unknown compary.
Besides, Allen didn’t want to let go of a good and promising talent ake Larissa.
I
Larissa blushed and hesitated for a moment before replying vaguely, “It’s not too small, I guess.”
Allen doubted Larissa’s words when he noticed her hesitation. “Did your family ask you to return? Allen asked
“It’s my decision. I have thought things through, so please accept my resignation.”
Larissa locked up and met his gaze.
Seeing that she was firm. Allen fell silent for a few seconds. He did not try to persuade her otherwise.
“Thank you so much!”
Larissa thanked him gratefully with red, puffy eyes.
Allen looked at the time. “It’s time to get off work. If you’re free, let’s have dinner with everyone in the department to send you
all.”

“Sure.” Larissa agreed readily.
It had been a long time since she met her colleagues. She missed them dearly.
“Can I bring someone else along?”
Larissa remembered Lewis, who was waiting outside.
