    The massage oil had a strong pungent medicated scent that was rather repulsive.


    Kevan’s first thought was to get up, but Larissa’s warm touch on his back was sofort ng that he


    decided to put up with the


    unpleasant smell


    Kevan closed his eyes and bit his lower lip instinctively, restraining himself from all thoughts of trying to


    escape.


    The expression on hisce twisted into a grimace, making Larissa think that she had applied too much


    force. She carefully reduced the


    pressure on his back


    “Does it hurt?” she asked Kevan


    Kevan shook his head, “It doesn’t hurt at all”

    He had survived worse injuries, such as getting shot at er stabbed with a knife. A massage from her


    was nothing more than a mosquito


    bite, let alone painful.


    “If it hurts, you must tell me! Larissa reminded him. She was truly worried about his injury.


    Coincidentally, Cyan heard this sentence when he opened the door and entered Kevan’s office.


    Immediately after, he saw Kevan hall- naked on the s with Larissa bent over him. Naturally, his mind


    went into the gutter.


    “Sorry!” Dn turned around in a hurry. “I didn’t see anything. Just carry on.”


    Larissa froze for a moment before realizing Dyler’s misunderstanding. She shouted after him. “Dn,


    come back here”


    Once he grasped the situation. Dn settledfortably on the sofa, holding a sandwich in one hand


    and a cup of coffee in the other. He was at ease, as if he was in his own home.


    “It’s not my fault” Cn defended himself for being so over the top earlier. “You guys were in such a


    compromising position. Anyone would have misunderstood!”


    Kevan was putting on his shirt leisurely after Larissa covered the bruise with some gauze. He shot a


    disapproving nce at Dn, suppressing his frustration at being interrupted during his private


    moment with Larissa. “TII take you to the lounge,” he said to Larissa.


    Then, he turned to Dn. “Have Howie order some takeout for me.”


    Howie was Kevan’s assistant.


    “Takeout?” Dn stared at Larissa. “Didn’t you say that Lana came all the way here to express her


    gratitude to Kevan? Since I have coffee and sandwiches, surely he would have something for lunch?


    By the way, I haven’t seen your sister. Where is she?”


    “Lana’s cooking doesn’t suit Mr. Rogers’s taste. That’s why he asked her to go back to the hotel Larissa


    exined,


    “What? Lana personally cooked lunch for him? Dn pouted with a straw between his lips. “She’s


    ying favorites between us!”


    “Be content,” Hands in his pockets, Kevan spoke nonchntly, “At least yours is still edible.”


    Dn took a sip of coffee and nodded in acknowledgment, and his mood instantly ifted.


    “Speaking of which, I saw a bag containing a lunch box inside. It’s in the trash bin pulside the


    presidential office. Could it be your sister’s?” Dn gave Kevan a side–eye. “Did you say something


    nasty to her? She must have been so lulous to throw away the lood she made for


    you!”


    Thanks to Dn’s lip, Larissa found the bag easily. Inside were the insted lunch box and thermos


    she lent to Lana.


    She resisted the urge to call Lana up and question her about the lood. Silently, Larissa discarded the


    untouched food and cleaned the


    containers.


    While Larissa did all this, Kevan was standing next to her, He leaned against the wall of the restroom


    watching her quiety.


    “Are you angry? Suddenly, Kevan spoke up.


    Larissa didn’t answer. Holding the containers, she brushed past him and walked oul.


    Kevan’s eyes darkened, and he pressed his lips together in exasperation..

    Larissa slept in Kevan’s lounge until evening fell


    He had lent her his eye mask and earplugs. In addition, he had ced incense in the room to enhance


    rxation and promote better sleep. Larissa had never slept so soundly before in her life.


    Unexpectedly, Kevan managed to leave work on time and drove Larissa to the restaurant they had


    booked in the afternoon.


    When they were looking at the menu, Larissa received a phone call from Lucas.


    Before she could utter a word, heunched into a flurry of usations. “Ms. Seymour, how could you


    bring Nana to such dangerous ces like a bar? I trusted you and entrusted Nana into your hands. Is


    this how you take care of her? You really disappoint me!”
