    Her racing heart immediately fell, and Larissa silently ate throughout the whole meal Dn could sense


    the tension in the atmosphere and tried to bring up a light-hearted topic, asking Larissa. “Do you have


    any ns for Christmas?”


    “I have to work overtime,” Larissa replied without hesitation “I’m busy right now, and I probably won’t be


    able to catch a break until after New Year’s”


    “Oh… So, you won’t be able toe to my Christmas party?” Dn sounded a bit disappointed.


    Larissa didn’t want to dampen his spirits and replied, “I’ll join you guys if I get off work early that day


    “Great! Remember to bring a gift for the gift exchange session. It’s quite fun!” Dn immediately


    brightened up


    Larissa was just being polite, but hearing him say that further strengthened her determination not to go.


    She suspected that his friends were probably all wealthy, and anything she bought would either be too


    cheap for their liking or too expensive for her to afford.

    Perhaps, Dn could sense her concerns, and added thoughtfully. “We have rules. The gift cannot


    exceed a hundred dors, and it should be practical. What matters most is the thought behind the


    gift.”


    Larissa pondered for a moment, biting on her spoon for a few seconds beforeing to the conclusion


    that it was better to stay at the hotel and work overtime.


    Although she had already made up her mind, she still bought a set of knitting supplies online in case


    she wanted to go. She nned to knit a set of warm essories which included a hat, scarf, and a pair


    of gloves. She learned how to knit back in college. At that time, it was trendy to knit these things for


    boyfriends, and some guys evenpeted to see whose girlfriend was more talented. All three of


    Larissa’s dorm mates at the time had boyfriends. Their desks would be piled up with balls of yarn of


    different colors, materials, and thicknesses even before winter arrived. When they didn’t have sses,


    they would be huddled in their own beds, knitting items ording


    to the patterns.


    Wendy, one of her dorm mates, and Larissa’s best friend for many years, couldn’t bear to see her being


    left out. So, she forced her to buy a set of tools and introduced her to the world of knitting. That’s when


    they discovered that Larissa was quite talented in this aspect. She would be able toplete a high-


    quality knitted piece in just two days while others would take more time to finish. Larissa was even able


    to make a living by selling the scarves and gloves she knitted. Although several years had passed, she


    was able to quickly catch on to the techniques again as soon as she held the needles in her hands.


    She worked for about two hours before sleeping every night, working hard and steadily, and finally


    completed thest stitch on the day before Christmas Eve.


    On Christmas Eve, Larissa worked until 11 pm as usual


    Kevan was also hard at work during this time, asionally staying in thepany until dawn.


    Therefore, his driver was always the one to pick her up. Larissa had declined several times as it was


    unnecessary to send a driver to pick her up since she had her own car, and the hotel was only a five-


    minute drive from Foxtail Garden However, Kevan refused to listen


    He had a reasonable excuse, citing that others wouldn’t know she was his girlfriend if he did not


    do so.


    However, Larissa felt indifferent when he called her his girlfriend. She had been pulled back to reality


    by his words at the dinner table.


    When she left the hotel, Larissa noticed a familiar Maserati parked at the entrance. She hesitated,


    unsure if she should approach when the person inside the car hon ked at her. It was Kevan himself


    who came


    Larissa got into the car and fastened her seatbelt, asking him. “Aren’t you working overtime today?


    “I’m going back to attend Dn’s party,” Kevan replied in a casual tone


    “It’s sote, hasn’t his party ended yet?” Larissa was surprised and somewhat anxious. She had


    thought she could definitely avoid it


    “They can party until three or four in the morning. I’ll be just making an appearance, and leaving


    quickly,” Kevan said.


    Dn would definitely know she had gotten off work if Kevan went


    “I’ll go with you, we’ll make a brief appearance together and leave, Larissa answered, making up


    her mind
