Dn did not respond to her question, however.
“Your friend hasn’t made it, right?” He grinned like he knew everything.
A little stunned, Larissa shot back instinctively, “How did you know?”
“At this time, the elevators are packed with people. For Floor 45. I suppose even if the elevator’s
coming down from the top, it wouldn’t stop there.”
Other than that, it was her reaction after receiving her friend’s text–she did not go inside but decided to
buy coffee. That meant that she would still be waiting for quite a long time.
“Why don’t you tell your friend to stay where she is? We’ll send you guys up. You can try our
company’s coffee too. It’s way better than any coffee you could buy out there!” Dn looked proud.

Larissa was notfortable enough to say yes. “We’ll just park ourselves at Starbucks for a while. You
and Mr. Rogers can go about your business!”
“We just came down here for a walk. There’s no business to be had.” Dn was very sincere, but
Larissa was doubtful of his sincerity. After all, this did not look like a ce where one would take a walk
at. However, before she could think too deeply about it, Dn turned and entered the building, waving
at them from the automatic doors. “Come on!”
Larissa nced at the other two, and they could only follow.
The ess gate downstairs can only be opened by card ess. Kevan and Dn never wore ID tags
to work
as they always used the special passage controlled by security.
Dn nodded at Larissa and told the security guard, “Remember Ms. Seymour here. The next time she
comes
to our office, she will use this passage too.”
The guard nodded and agreed at once.
Larissa wanted to say that there was no need for such trouble, but she could not brush off Dn’s
kindness, so she only smiled wryly at the guard before quickly walking past him with her head lowered.
The elevators were right after the ess gate, but Kevan and Dn walked right past them without
even looking. Confused, Larissa wanted to know why, but she held back and did not ask.
They kept walking forward until they stopped before a single elevator. It was stuck on the first floor, and
the
number never changed.
*This is Mr. Rogers‘ private elevator,” Dn exined. “It can only be unlocked with his fingerprint.”
Kevan ced his right pointer finger on the fingerprint reader near the elevator doors, and they opened
with a
ding. The group entered the elevator at once, and Kevan pressed the button for the 45th floor before
retreating
to the corner of the car.
Larissa was going to upy the other corner when Dn pushed her, so she ended up falling against
Kevan,
who pretended to observe the indicator panel but had kept an eye on Larissa the whole time. So, when
she fell
1/2
over, he immediately shifted and caught her. Her warm body exuded a sweet and captivating fragrance
as it leaned against him, causing his heart to race involuntarily.
He wanted to pull her into his arms and hold her close, but when he saw her panicked expression, he
restrained himself.
“Be careful,” Kevan said coldly and let go of her the moment she had found her footing.
Larissa only felt aggrieved as she turned to re at the culprit who made her fall.
Dn just gave her an apologetic smile, but it was clear that he was not all that sincere.
“Sorry, Ms. Seymour. I didn’t mean to.”
The elevator they were in was a sightseeing elevator. The back of it was made of transparent ss,
and one could see the scenery outside clearly.
“There are many skyscrapers around here, so there’s not much to see at the bottom as everything is
blocked off. You can only see the whole of Covenford by going up to the observation deck at the top.
The night scenery is absolutely wonderful. I’ll take you up there when there’s a chance.” Dn said to
Larissa, who only took his words as a titude, so she responded, “Sure.” without feeling any form of
stress.
