    Chapter 43


    Larissa thought he wanted to discuss something important with her, so she immediately replied, “I’m


    avable.”


    She had to work the night shift at the hotel on Thursday night, but after she got off work on Friday


    morning, she would have the rest of the day as well as Saturday off to recharge.


    “In that case, would you like to apany me as my plus one to a banquet that night?” Dn asked.


    As if he were afraid that she would refuse him, he added, “I’m new to Covenford, and you’re the only


    female friend I have. Everyone else is bringing plus ones, and it would be very embarrassing for me to


    show up without one.” He even added a pitiful emoji at the end.


    Larissa hesitated.


    If Dn had been an ordinarywyer, she would have agreed to help him without having second


    thoughts about it. However, he was Microworks Corporation’s second rgest shareholder. This


    banquet must be no small asion.


    She wasn’t afraid of the business magnates she was sure would be present as well. She was simply


    afraid that she would appear clumsy and inexperienced in front of everyone else, and that she would


    end up embarrassing Dn.


    “Don’t you worry, it’s just a small event with acquaintances.”


    “Everyone there is really decent. There won’t be any creeps or perverts.”


    “Besides, being my plus one is very simple. You don’t have to drink or talk to anyone. All you have to


    do is stand by my side and support me.”


    Dn sent her a series of texts in rapid session when she failed to reply for a long time.


    Larissa thought about it again. Ever since the two of them met, Dn had helped her out multiple


    times, both in her business and private matters. If she refused to help him now, she would’ve appeared


    to be too ungrateful.


    So, she typed out an “okay” and sent it.


    Since she’d decided to apany Dn to his banquet, she wanted to do her best to avoid


    embarrassing him.


    “Are there any dress code requirements I should follow?” she asked him.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Don’t worry about that.” Dn had already thought about everything in advance. “I will pick you up


    before the event to meet with a stylist.”


    Larissa released a sigh of relief.


    If Dn had arranged everything for her already, she was happy to sit back, rx, and let him do his


    thing. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about making any potentially embarrassing mistakes


    anymore.


    Larissa guessed that Travis had sessfully persuaded his parents to leave her alone when, for two


    days in a row after the incident in the hospital, Mrs. Hardy did not show up at the hotel.


    As such, Larissa no longer needed to sneak out from the back door every day like a


    thief.


    Before she knew it, it was already Friday.


    As soon as she got off work, she went home and slept through the morning. When she woke up, it was


    already three in the afternoon.


    Dn had instructed her beforehand, “There probably won’t be much to eat at the banquet. You should


    eat something at home first in case you get hungry during the


    event.‘


    Remembering his advice, Larissa cooked a bowl of instant noodles, but could only bring herself to eat


    two bites. She was afraid that if she ate too much, she wouldn’t look as good in a tight–fitting, formal


    dress.


    At about four in the afternoon, Dn called her. “Ms. Seymour, I’m already


    downstairs. You cane down now.”


    Larissa grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs.


    There was indeed a car parked downstairs, but it wasn’t Dn’s.


    Larissa looked around the area for a long time before confirming that there were no other cars nearby.


    Only then did she walk over and knock on the window of the passenger’s seat.
