Chapter 271

Chapter 271
After a busy moming of work, Larissa remained in her office while others from the department headed to the cafeteria for lunch. She was organizing the reports that Lotus hadn’t had the chance to hand over to her yet.
Someone knocked on the office door twice, and she looked up to see Edmund standing at the doorway with a smile on his face.
“Still busy?” he asked,
She immediately set aside the mouse and stood up, exclaiming. “Mr. Rogers!”
“No need to be so formal” he said while his smile deepened. “I’m about the same age as you. You can call me Edmund.”
His casualness caught her off guard, and she suddenly remembered what Kevan had said.

“Well you’re my superior, so I’ll stick with Mr. Regers’,’ she said, trying to maintain her distance, even though that title might confuse him
with Kevan. Regardless, she was making an effort to create some space between them
Edmund didn’t insist. “As you wish.”
There was always a hint of indulgence in his tone, which made Larissa uncomfortable. She averted her gaze and asked in an official tone.” Mr. Rogers, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Yeah,” he replied, his gaze fixed on her face. “I wanted to ask if you have any specific improvement pl
plans. The hotel’s hygiene issues have been creating a buzz online, and everyone is paying a lot of attention to it. Our occupancy rate has been continucu sly decreasing these days. So. I want you to coordinate with the public relations department and release a statement to show that we are indeed sincere about making improvements.”
Larissa always took her work seriously. “Ill find the person in charge of the public relations department this attemoon.”
“I hope we can release the statement this afternoon, so let’s discuss it over lunch. Edmund decided on his own that they would have
lunch together.
She didn’t have the means to refuse, so she temporanly saved the unfinished documents and left the office with him.
Instead of going to the employee cafeteria, he reserved a private room in the hotel’s restaurant. She recognized the person in charge of the public relations department at a glance-it happened to be one of the two people who had followed Edmund into the meeting room in the morning. Previously, she had thought they were his assistants.
Edmund briefly introduced them and then focused on ordering dishes, not participating in their conversation.
