    Chapter 772


    Afraid that Marilyn would wait too long, Larissa only worked overtime for half an hour. Then, she turned


    off herputer. She put the statements and reports that were not yet typed into the slideshow into her


    bag. She intended to finish the slideshow at home.


    “Let’s go.” she said to Marilyn once she was packed.


    “So soon?” Marilyn had been ying with her phone while waiting for Larissa. When she heard Larissa


    speak, she put down her phone in surprise.


    “Yeah.” Larissa smiled. “It’ste, and I feel a little hungry.”


    “Me too.” Marilyn rubbed her stomach. Then, she walked over to Larissa and hugged her arm, and


    dragged her away quickly. “Let’s go then!”


    Marilyn must have been really hungry because she drove her car like crazy.


    Westonia was like Bartham. The traffic was awful. Marilyn’s pink smart car was able to weave among


    the crowd size to its size. Soon, they reached Queensway.


    The restaurant they wanted to go to was on the main road of Queensway. It was a really obvious shop


    lot. Business was booming because of its recent opening. Even if Marilyn had booked a spot in


    advance, they were still stopped at the entrance.


    The waiter coldly told them. “The previous customers are not finished. You will have to wait for at least


    half an hour and above.”


    The restaurant did not have a waiting area, so the people who were waiting to be seated had taken up


    the little space that was in front of the restaurant


    Larissa and Marilyn were squeezed in with this crowd. They were stuck. They didn


    They did not know if they should leave or not.


    Marilyn apologized to Larissa. “I’m so sorry, Larissa. I didn’t think that we woulde early. If you don’t


    want to wait, we’ll switch to a restaurant with fewer people?”


    Larissa wrapped her windbreaker around herself and moved behind a tall man beside her. The chilly


    wind was blocked off by the man. Only then did she stop shivering. Forcing a smile, Larissa said, “It’s


    alright. Didn’t you want to try this ce? We’re already here, and it’s only half an hour’s wait.”


    *Thank you so much, Larissa! You’re so nice!” Marilyn


    we her a bun


    As time passed, the sky turned dark, and the temperature grew colder.


    Many people wore down jackets. At the very least, they would still have a thick coat covering


    themselves. It made Larissa and Marilyn’s outfits look rather out of ce.


    Larissa was already weak from working long–term in an office. Previously, she had been stuck in a


    hospital bed for several months, so she was even weaker than usual. Soon, the tall man entered the


    restaurant with hispanions, and Larissa was left to shiver in the cold.


    Seeing Larissa sneeze several times, Marilyn could not help but worry. “Are you okay?”


    Larissa waved her off while she sneezed. “It’s–achoo–linel” She took out a pack of tissues from her


    bag. She then turned around to blow her nose.


    Marilyn brought her to a ce where the wind was not so strong. “Why are your clothes so thin? You’ll


    catch a cold like this.”


    Larissa eyed Marilyn’s outfit. She thought that her words were not convincing.

    Marilyn smiled and advised her, “Don’tpare yourself to me and those other people in thepany.


    We’re used to it, and we don’t feel anything at this point. If you can’t stand the cold in Westonia, it’s


    better to wear moreyers.


    “The most that would happen is that people wouldugh at you for beingme. But it won’t really allect


    you. But if you get sick because you wore feweryers, you’d be the one who sulfers.”


    Larissa thought about it and found it very reasonable.


    When she reappeared, there was a cup of hot water in her hand. There was a thin slice of lemon in the


    water too.
