Dn withdrew his gaze and asked Larissa curiously. “What he said just now- remember what I told
you-what was that?”
“I-uhm-” Larissa was a bit hesitant. “That is…a secret for now.”
“Tsk.” Dn teased. “You just met him, and you already have little secrets between you two.”
No wonder Kevan had left with a sour face.
Kevan did not bring his car keys with him. Having arrived at the car earlier than the other two, he could
only wait for them outside.
Dn unlocked the car, and Kevan slid into the passenger seat without hesitation.
“Huh?” Dn looked like he’d discovered something new. “I thought you only exclusively sat at the
back.”
Even if it was the two of them, Kevan had never offered to sit in front.
Dn had criticized him countless times before because of this. “Do you really take me as your driver?”
Kevan had always remained indifferent to hisints. Now, however, he looked straight ahead and
said coldly, “It’s dirty.”
Dn chided, “Didn’t you sit at the back when we came?”
Larissa boarded the car without a word.
It wasn’t the car that was dirty. It was her.
Even though Kevan’s words hurt, thinking about his extreme germaphobia, she could
somewhat understand his reservations.
She supposed, in this world, there were very few people whom Kevan wouldn’t consider dirty.
“Ms. Seymour, where do you want to go?” Dn started the engine.
“Home,” she replied.
Dn nced at her from the rearview mirror. “You said you’d almost gotten hit by a car just now. What
exactly happened?”
Larissa ran through her rehearsed speech internally before speaking. “I ran into my ex
father-inw, ex-mother-inw and that mistress of my ex-husband’s when I came out of the hospital
earlier. We had a little conflict, and someone pushed me onto the road. It was very chaotic at that time.
I didn’t exactly see who pushed me.
Fortunately, Mr. Hermes was able to stop his car in time. It was thanks to him that
I’m still alive now.”
Recalling what had happened, she was still a bit shaky.
Neither Dn nor Kevan spoke after hearing her words.
Larissa thought the temperature in the car seemed to have plunged significantlypared to earlier.

After dropping Larissa off at her house, Dn and Kevan rushed back to the
When Larissa had called Dn earlier, they were both in the middle of a meeting. The sudden vibration
of Dn’s phone had earned him a re from Kevan.
He was about to ignore the iing call and put his phone on silent when he caught sight of Larissa’s
name on the screen and immediately changed his mind.
He waved his phone at Kevan. “I need to take this call outside.”
Every senior executive in Microworks Corporation knew that Mr. Rogers despised any form of
interruption during their meetings.
Dn’s bold actions and tant vition of Kevan’s personal rules had everyone else on the edge of
their seats with anxiety for him.
And yet, to the surprise of everyone present, Mr. Rogers did not stop him. Instead, he said, “I’ll go with
you.”
The pair did not return after that.
Dn nced sideways at the man who had switched to the back seat after Larissa had left and
teased, “What? Is it not dirty now?”
Kevan looked out of the car window wordlessly.
“Tsk,” Dn scoffed. “With your personality, don’t even think about getting a girl to like you!”
Kevan red at the back of Dn’s head. “Do you ever stop talking?”
Dn smiled gleefully and continued wheedling him. “Channeling our embarrassment into anger now,
are we?”
Seeing as Kevan was about to lose his temper, Dn immediately switched the topic. of conversation.
“Today, Larissa almost lost her life because of them. Do you really n on letting those people continue
bullying her?”
Kevan’s eyes darkened. His hands that were previously resting on hisp tightened. “Let’s wait a little
longer.”
