Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 162

Chapter 162
Like a deer caught in headlights, Lana stared at him silently, eyes wide. The tears in her eyes failed to all. When the elevator reached the 19th floor. Kevan led Larissa out of L not sparing a glance at Lana.
“Thank you” Larissa said.
His words conveyed her true feelings. However, she could never bring hersell to say them. The experiences she had as a child made her understand that nobody was obligated to treat her well, not even family or friends. Hence, she never could condemn or throw a tantrum like Lana had just done. Although the thought did cross her mind from time to time, all she could do was feel sad about it.
“Even your sister is willing to cook a meal to thank me, but all you can do is say thank you?”
Kevan had already let go of her. At the moment, he was leaning against her apartment door as he looked at her, eyebrows raised in displeasure.
“Well… should I cook a meal for you?”
Kevan scoffed. “A meal won’t be enough.”

“Huh?”
“From now on. I’ll drive you to the hotel every maming. As long as you’re not on duty in the evening. I’ll pick you up. At least twice a week,
you must come to Microworks to have lunch with me. As for dinner. it depends on the situation.”
His demands weren’t unreasonable. Thinking about it Larissa realized that she was the one benefiting more from them.
Hence, she didn’t understand what he was doing. “Why?”
“Cant you see? Your sister likes me.” Kevan deadpanned as if he were talking about something as casual as the weather.
He was frowning, dissatisfied with how slow Larissa was. However, Larissa wasn’t as slow as he thought.
She had sensed the different attention Lana always gave him. She had even guessed that Lana had feelings for him, and a few hours ago. she even mistakenly thought that they had a special relationship.
“You said that Lucas picks her up every day for work, right? Then they probably reconciled already.”
Lana must have been denying that to hide the truth, However, Larissa believed Lana did that because she didn’t want to embarrass herself given how resolute she had been about their breakup in front of Larissa.
Kevan had a different opinion. “Yeah, they reconciled, but she won’t let me know. Isn’t that because she has her eye on me? She must be
trying to keep her options open,”
That made sense to Larissa.
