Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 756
Marilyn went to the cafeteria to get two lunches. When she was waiting for the elevator, she happened to meet people from the
presidential office.
There were some who she was friendlier with. They deliberately leaned in and asked her, “Marilyn, do you know the background
of that new assistant?”
Marilyn’s predecessor. Gary’s previous secretary, was fired because she leaked his private Information by accident. She was
unable to find a job in Westonia because Gary purposely made sure that she would not be able to. Having no other choice, she
went back to her hometown.
Leaming this lesson, Marilyn always kept her mouth shut whenever it came to Gary or Lewis‘ private lives.
“No idea.” she said.
Someone noticed that she was carrying two trays.
“Who are you bringing lunch to?
Because Mr. Logan Senior and Junior’s lunches were arranged to come from high–end restaurants, they naturally thought that it
was for
that new assistant.”
The elevator happened to arrive then. Marlyn entered first, ignoring all of their questions.
The others followed quickly, surrounding Marilyn while they chattered away. “Did she ask you to help her? Or was it Mr. Logan
Junior’s instructions?”
“Is she serious? Acting like a diva on the first day of work! Marilyn’s Mr. Logan Senior’s secretary, not hers! Why should Marlyn
serve her?”
“I told you that she’s not a normal person! What kind of man is Mr. Logan Junior? Ive never seen him bring in anyone new alter
joining the company! That assistant definitely has something going on with him!”
“That assistant’s kinda old, right? She wears such ugly clothes too! What does Mr. Logar Junior see in her?”

“Who knows? Maybe Mr. Logan Junior’s tastes are not the same as normal men’s
All kinds of sour, cruel words exploded out of the mouths of all these well–dressed women.
Marilyn did her best to ignore those comments. Before she exited the elevator, she warned them in a low voice. “If you don’t want
to lose your jobs, don’t say such things ever again.”
The crowd loooed at each other.
The following altemoon was calm and peaceful.
Larissa had no other work. She remained seated at her workplace, seriously reading the documents from Lewis.
In the middle of it all, Gary and Lewis entered and exited their offices several times. When they passed by her workplace, they
did not stop
at all.
Blue Star Shipping did not seem to have a work overtime culture. The moment it was time to get off work, everyone stopped
what they
were doing and began to pack up.
Larissa was unused to such an environment, but she was satisfied too. This seemed to be the first time she had worked during
normal hours after graduating from university.
Lewis sent her a text, telling her to wall for him. “I’ll send you home later.”
At the same time, she received a text from Kevan telling her that he was waiting downstairs.
Larissa thought about it, then decided to refuse Lewis.
Seeing that the two Mr. Logans had no intentions to get off work while Larissa herself had already stood up with her bag on her
back. Marilyn stepped forward and supported Larissa considerately. She asked, “You must not have driven here, right? Do you
need me to give you a ride?”
“Thanks, but no need.” Larissa shook her head. “Someone’s picking me up.”

Marilyn was not surprised. “I’ll go down with you then.” She smiled. “We can chat a bit on the way down.”
They had eaten lunch together in a small meeting room, so their relationship was closer than it was in the beginning
“Sure.” Larissa felt good about Gary’s beautiful and generous secretary. “But I’ll be walking a little slower, do you mind?”
“Of course not! Marilyn said.
When those who had not yet left saw the way Marilyn was being such a “lapdog,” they showed looks of disdain or scom.
