Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 193
Dylan’s words made plenty of sense and immediately got Larissa convinced. “Fine, I’ll sign it.” Dylan only took two minutes to finish writing the letter of guarantee, and Larissa signed her name on it without hesitation. As per their plan, Dylan separated the letter into two copies and said, “So, I’ll keep one copy, right?”
Just as he was about to stuff it into his pocket, Kevan stopped him. “Give it to me.” Dylan pouted and looked annoyed. “Fine, take it! It’s just a piece of paper anyway, not some precious treasure!”
Kevan gripped the letter tightly and pointed to the door. “You may leave now,” he said.
“What a way to burn bridges!” Dylan tutted and walked to the door. Then, he turned around and subtly made an “OK” sign at Larissa.
“Does your head still hurt?” Larissa asked Kevan although it seemed very redundant. Seeing how energetic he was earlier, she already

knew that he was as fit as a fiddle.
However, Kevan slumped onto the sofa the moment he heard her question and frowned deeply, massaging his temples with one hand. ”
Yes,” he said weakly.
What a drama queen! Larissa watched him coldly, finding it funny and annoying at the same time. Kevan’s drunk personality was so much different than his usual self, and it was oddly adorable. All she knew was that it didn’t p iss her off. “It’s late. Go take a shower and go to
bed,” said Larissa.
“I’m not going!” Kevan glared at her and pursed his lips. His tone sounded like he was throwing a tantrum. “You’re going to run off while I shower, aren’t you?” Larissa was speechless at having her intentions exposed. “No,” she said and forced a sincere-looking smile. “You reek of alcohol I’m sure the smell makes you uncomfortable too. Besides…” She pointed at the paper he was holding and continued, “I already signed the guarantee letter. Where could I possibly run off to?”
Kevan fixed his sharp gaze on her as if he were contemplating if she was telling the truth. Larissa met his gaze confidently, her expression showing that she had nothing to hide. A moment later, he got up from the sofa and said, “I’ll go take a shower.” He walked unsteadily and Larissa hurried over to support him while thinking, “Wasn’t he very steady when he went to open the door for Dylan?”
Larissa did not linger in the bathroom for long. She just helped him inside and went out. Nevertheless, she still felt worried since he wasn’t feeling completely normal. She reminded him, “Don’t let the water leak outside. Call me if anything happens. I’m right outside the door.”
Kevan nodded obediently and said, “Alright.”
