    “Mr. Rogers. I don’t think this is within my responsibilities. Larissa sald


    She was only pretending to be his girlfriend, and it didn’t mean they had to do things that real couples


    did.


    Kevan put his hands in his pockets, smirking.


    “Well this is the price you pay for spreading numars recklessly. And there will be more toe. Until


    the rumors about me and Lanapletely disappear, be prepared for the consequences.”


    Upon hearing this, Larissa deeply regretted her decision. Il she had known it would lead to that she


    wouldn’t have taken the me.


    Kevan waved her away. “That’s it for now. See you Icright.”


    He turned around walking away nonchntly. At that moment, the elevator descended, departing from


    the 69th floor.


    Utterly frustratec. Larissa pounded the elevator button twice.


    From a distance, Kevan called. “If you hit it till it breaks, you’ll have to pay for it.”


    Larissa immediately hid her hands behind her back, feeling guilty. She hurriedly denied. “I’m not doing


    anything. You must have misheard.”


    When Kevan entered the office, the lively discussions screeched to a halt. Everyone who had been


    whispering to each other quickly lowered their heads and started typing on their keyboards, pretending


    to be working hard. Kevan pped his hands twice gathering everyone’s attention.


    “Remember, the Miss Seymour who just left is my girfriend,” he said. “You can tell anyone you know


    about it.”


    When he said “can.” he meant “must”. His intelligert employees understood the underlying meaning


    behind his words.


    “Understood?” Kevan asked.


    Everyone replied unanimously, “Understood”


    Dn was still in Kevan’s office, taking care of the remaining food on the table. When he heard theN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    door open, he turned around in surprise.


    “Didn’t you escort Larissa back? Why did youe back so quickly?”


    “I only escorted her to the elevator entrance.” Kevan sald, frowning and ring at him. “Why are you


    still here?”


    Dn swallowed thest bite of food. “T leave right away.”


    He carefully tidied up the trash and wiped the table with a napkin three times.


    *Please inspect the table, sir,” Dn said, gesturing at the coffee table.


    Kevan snorted, ‘ll give you a pass I guess.”


    Scoffing, Dn changed the topic and asked. “Do you really think Larissa spread that rumor? She


    knows about your rtionship with


    Lana, after all”


    “She’s so foolish that she might think there’s something between me and Lana” Kevan thought of how


    Larissa purposely drove her car to the underground parking lot the day before to avoid him and Lana,


    which annoyed him.


    “But she’s not the type to gossip,” Dn said, defending Larissa “Even if she misunderstood the


    situation, she would keep it to herself instead of telling others, right?”


    Kevan, who knew Larissa better than Dn, had considered that possibility.


    However


    Dn rubbed his chin, changing the direction of the conversation. “Since she’s willing to take the


    me. It shows that she knows who spread the rumor.”


    Kevan muttered, “Zero”


    It didn’t take a genius to figure that out. The rumor had spread within Microworks, and there was only


    one person Larissa knew al Microworks besides him and Dn-Zero,


    “You know it’s Zer, so why didn’t you expose Lanssa just now? Dn asked. “Are you


    are you secretly nning to do something to


    1/2


    Zero?


    “No.” Kevan said, looking into the distance as an unreadable smile formed on his lips. “I have no ns


    to do anything to Zero.”
