    Chapter 552


    Dn hadn’t contacted Larissa ever since the kidnapping incident. She found it strange and decided to


    check the guest room, only to find out that he had already checked out. Without his proactive contact,


    she had lost the opportunity to inquire about the progress of the case.


    She had been diligently following the news for a few days but hadn’te across any relevant


    information. Perhaps this was the best oue she could hope for, looking at it from a different


    perspective.


    She was supposed to go to the airport to pick someone up at noon, but her meeting had been dyed,


    causing her to be nearly hall an hourte. She humiedly sent a message to the person, exining her


    situation, and rushed off.


    As she reached the lobby, she nearly bumped into Gary, who had just returned from outside.


    He was dressed in a formal dark suit. She apologized and asked, “Were you out for business?”

    He nodded in response. “I had a meeting with Mr. Leon from Soaring Corporation this morning, but we


    haven’t reached an agreement yet.” He noticed Larissa was in a hurry and became somewhat curious.


    “Why are you in such a rush?”


    I’m heading to the airport to meet a client.” She nced at her watch. “The meeting rante, and I’m


    afraid I won’t make it in time.”


    “Lewis will give you a ride. He happens to be heading to the airport too.” Gary signaled Lewis with his


    eyes, and Lewis immediately responded, “Ms. Seymour, my car is parked at the entrance.”


    During this period, Larissa had been relying on public transportation and hadn’t been driving herself.


    Contacting a driver now would only mean more waiting time, and it wasn’t easy to hall a taxi at this


    hour. So, she epted Gary’s offer.


    “Thank you. Lewis.” She smiled at him.


    She and Lewis weren’t that close. Once they settled into the car, they hardly exchanged words except


    for the initial pleasantries


    Midway through the journey, her client had alreadynded in Bartham, She then arranged to meet her


    client at a specific location and repeatedly apologized for the dy.


    Lewis arrived at the airport in the shortest possible time. And she was finally able to meet up with the


    client. Just as they were about to hail a taxi, her phone rang.


    It was Lewis, with whom she had just parted ways moments ago.


    “Ms. Seymour, did you manage to pick up your client? I’m still waiting for you at the spot where you got


    oll.”


    She was a bit surprised. “Did you already finish what you needed to do?”


    Lewis responded with a simple “Yes” and continued. “I can give you both a ride back to the hotel since


    it’s on my way.”


    Well, Larissa dly epted the offer, since it was convenient. They retraced the steps back to where


    she got off, and sure enough, Lewis “car was still there.


    During the journey back, Lewis was no longer as taciturn as before. He took the initiative to ask


    Larissa, “This is –?”


    He nced at the young woman sitting beside Larissa through the rearview mirror, and his scrutinizing


    gaze made her slightly


    ufortable.


    *This is Rena, the founder and CEO of Fairy Culture. Thepany specializes in social media


    operations, such as managing Twitter’s marketing ounts, public ounts, elc. You can reach out to


    her if yourpany has any needs in the area.” Larissa took the opportunity to introduce Rena and her


    company to Lewis.


    Lewis disyed a peculiar expression the moment he heard the name “Fairy Culture, causing Rena to


    lower her head and blush in embarrassment.
