Sweet Subterfuge

The worries in her heart dissipated one by one, and for once, Larissa slept soundly.

After the morning meeting, she was once again asked to stay behind by the general manager.

Larissa thought he was about to tell her to leave immediately. Unexpectedly, the general manager’s expression was a picture of happiness when he told her, “You don’t have to leave.”

“But why?” Larissa hardly mirrored his joy, but she was curious, all the same, regarding the reasoning behind his words.

She did not think that Travis and Amber would let her off the hook so easily. Furthermore, Mr. Fox had a much higher rank than the general manager of the Regal Dynasty Hotel. Mr. Compton should not have had the courage to ignore his demands.

“I’ve reported the entire incident to Mr. Rogers, and he said that he will take care of everything. Mr. Rogers instructed that your position should be reinstated and for you to return to work as normal.”

“Mr. Rogers? Kevan Rogers?” Larissa was a bit surprised.

The general manager frowned. “You might be able to get off from calling Mr. Rogers by his full name here, but don’t you ever do the same thing outside of this room! If Mr. Rogers catches wind of you disrespecting him like this, he might ask you to leave and when that happens, I can no longer cover for you anymore!”

Larissa thought to herself that it seemed that Kevan’s position in Soaring Corporation was ranked higher than Mr. Fox’s.

But considering the fact that he too, was the president of Microworks Corporation, along with his position on the board of senior executives of Soaring Corporation, would he be too busy to handle everything?

As soon as that thought crossed her mind, she chided herself promptly. How ridiculous of her! It was pointless for her to worry about him at all anyway.

Whether he could handle it or not was his own business. It had nothing to do with her.

“I don’t think there’s a need to bother Mr. Rogers,” Larissa said. “With the years of training and guidance I have received from you, even if I leave Regal Dynasty, I wouldn’t have to worry about finding another job.”

“But if you want to continue working in the hotel industry, Regal Dynasty is your best option.”

The general manager’s words had successfully swayed her firm heart.

He was not wrong. There were only two seven-star hotels in the nation, and both of them were under the Regal Dynasty.
