    Chapter 949


    “I don’t have much to do with it. It was just a coincidence that I met a friend at Thompson Medical,


    Turns out that she was Mr. Ackley’s niece. She helped us secure the deal” Larissa didn’t dare to take


    credit for hersel


    Lewis shut down hisputer and muttered, “Such coincidences don’t just happen to anyone.”


    Larissa agreed. “That’s true.”


    Gary sensed the underlying meaning behind Lews’ werds. “Are you saying that all of this wasn’t just a


    coincidence?”


    Lewis didn’t conlirm nor deny it. He said vaguely, “Maybe there is another person he cing us behind the


    scenes.”


    Gary nced at Lanssa, who looked puzzled. He kept his thoughts to himsel


    “Alright, you both should go and rest now. Come home tomorrow night. The three of us will have a nice


    meal to celebrate. Gary stood up and waved them oft


    Larissa was not in a rush to go home.


    She had brought souvenirs from Bartham. She distributed them to her colleagues in the presidential


    office.


    Although they were not familiar with Larissa, they epted her gifts with gratitude.


    Marilyn asked Larissa. “Larissa, is Bartham tun?”


    “It’s not bad.” Larissa brought her some snacks from Bartham, as well as the coffee powder Marilyn


    had been craving for a long time.


    “Coffee made from powder is nowhere near as good as coffee brewed in the coffee shop. When we


    have the chance, I’ll take you to Bartham for a real taste of their coffee!”


    “Sure! Marlyn held the snacks in her hand. She was eager to make a cup of coffee and taste it right


    away.


    “Since you even had the mood to buy us gifts, it seems like your trip to Bartham must have been


    sessful she teased Larissa, poking her with her e bow


    “This has nothing to do with that, right? Larissa hesitated to tell the truth.


    The coboration between Blue Star Shipping and Thompson Medical was not announced officially.


    Besides, there was a mole in thepany.


    For now, she had to follow Gary’s and Lewis lead to keep this a secret.


    I had already nned to buy these gifts for you all anyway! No one knew that it was Kevan’s assistant


    who had actually purchased the gills.


    At that moment, Lewis came out of his office and heard their conversation. “So, you spent the past two


    days not at the hotel but buying these souvenirs?”


    Larissa was puzzled by Lewis question. She thought that he knew where she had been.


    From his expressionlessce. Larissa couldn’t let whether he was joking or serious. She remained


    silent and did not respond.


    I’ve never seen you being so proactive about work. We have been rejected by Thompson Medical. You


    did not spend time thinking about ways to resolve the situation, but you went at the way to the city


    center to buy souvenirs? Lewis gave Larissa a disapproving nce.


    He picked up some snacks from Marilyn’s table and looked at it with a dark expression or his face.


    Throwing it back on the table, he snerred and walked away.


    An awkward tension hung in the air.


    It seems like Mr. Logan Junior is angry.” Marilynmented cautiously.


    Larissa stared at his retreating ligure for a long time before thally understanding what Lewis wanted to


    do.


    Larissa lowered her head and said in frustration. “It’s all my fault I am so useless. I lolowed Mr. Logan


    Junior on a business trip, but


    ??


    “Larissa, don’t say that. You have only joined thepany recently. Mr. Logan Junior’s expectations


    were too high.


    “You are just an assistant. There’s nothing much you could do to influence the coboration between


    two bigpanies.” Marilyn held Larissa’s hand andforted her gently.


    Larissa sighed deeply and said goodbye to Marilyn. I’m going home now, See you tomorrow.”


    Marilyn walked her to the elevator and reminded her, “Don’t overthink things. Mr. Logan Junior’s anger


    will probably subside tomorrow.”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
