An ungrateful person like Judy should just experience more of society's harsh realities!"What's wrong again?" Wendy strolled out of her room. She had a white mud mask applied on her face while wearing a white cotton nightgown. She scared the living death out of Larissa."Don't you have other nightgowns to wear? And your face—" Larissa leaned against the armrest of the couch as she put a hand against her pounding heart. She did not want to look at Wendy any more than she should."This nightgown is comfortable and cool." Wendy sat next to Larissa as she complained while painting her nails. "The thermostat here is too warm! It's still fucking hot even if I wasn't wearing anything while lying down.""Your body is still weak, so you must take care not to catch a cold." Larissa told Wendy off."I know my body." Wendy was not worried. "Hey—" She turned to look at Larissa as she asked randomly, "What are your … thoughts on the future?""What future? What thoughts?" Larissa did not get i

However, Larissa was called back into Lewis' office once again. What surprised her was that Gary was there too, and he looked just as grim as Lewis. This weird atmosphere made Larissa nervous. She carefully closed the door but she did not move her hand away from the door handle."What's … wrong with you two?"She looked at both men very nervously—the moment there was something, she would totally run away without looking back."Relax, we're not getting you to go on blind dates," Lewis spoke.Larissa sighed in relief. She went over to sit next to Gary and asked, "So, something's up with the company again?""I just got a call …" Lewis glanced at Larissa. "It's that friend from Moorewell who called in the morning. He said that Judy got fired because she had completed the mission that Moorewell had given her.""Mission? What mission?" Larissa did not understand. "Her mission was already completed, so why was she still fired by Moorewell?""Reportedly, she has a spy in the company. Th

"What else can you do other than pour coffee for Mr. Logan Senior?" Larissa asked her.Marilyn's work was related to Gary only—she was in charge of some of his personal matters during working hours and arranging his schedule for the day.Before Blue Star Shipping had all these issues, Gary's routine was regular. He would get off work on time every day. The company's partners knew about this, so they would not make any calls after working hours.Therefore, to Larissa, Marilyn had no reason to work overtime."Hey!" Marilyn glared as she grumbled. "I can do more than that, you know! Don't look down on me! I can totally just—" She grinned slyly. "Pour more coffee for Mr. Logan Senior."…They worked overtime until 9:00 pm. Larissa concentrated on her own work and did not pay attention to what Marilyn was doing. She vaguely remembered Marilyn getting up a few times to bring coffee to Gary's office.Finally, Gary was off work. He stopped in front of Marilyn and said to her, "You don

Lewis had a suitcase he specifically used for business trips. There were a few sets of clothes inside and some daily necessities. He always put this suitcase in his car, so he could leave at any time for any last-minute business trips.Now, this suitcase was serving its purpose.Larissa arranged for Lewis to stay in another guest room. It was just next door to Wendy's. Wendy had met Lewis a few times. Although they were not "familiar" with each other, they were not complete strangers either.Wendy had nothing against Lewis coming. She also did not think that her life would be impacted as well. After all, Lewis and Larissa usually left early and came home late. They spent very little time with her at home."Have you guys had dinner?" Wendy asked Lewis and Larissa before Lewis entered the guest room to clear it up for himself.Lewis and Larissa had worked overtime and had just gotten home now. They had no time to eat at all."Is there anything else left to eat here?" Larissa had no

"Alright." Lewis picked up the spoon and ate some lasagna. "Wendy's cooking is not bad." He praised her sincerely. "Everything is well cooked but not mushy. It's better than the one you made last time."Last time during the steak dinner, Larissa had made some lasagna too. But she did not do it well and the dish turned mushy. A light poke with a fork destroyed it very easily.Lewis took another mouthful of lasagna before he remembered. "Help me thank her."Larissa was not happy due to Lewis' praise of her friend and criticism of her. She refused angrily. "Go tell her yourself! I'm not a fucking messenger you can just order around!"…Wendy woke late, so the caretaker came late every day too. Larissa could not wait for the caretaker to come and make breakfast, and The house had no food, so she could only go out and eat with Lewis.She went to the McRonald's nearby the company and ordered two takeaway set meals. After she went upstairs, she sent one to Lewis' office. When she came o

Judy and her lawyer arrived at the presidential office at 2:50 pm. They came rather ostentatiously, and they did not avoid anyone when they passed by the public office. Judy even clicked her high heels very, very, loudly.Compared to when she left Blue Star, Judy's complexion looked better. Her clothes were more expensive than before, and she did not look like someone who was feeling anxious and worried about the large amount of compensation money that she needed to pay for.When she passed by Larissa's workplace, Judy stopped and took off her sunglasses. She asked, "Is Mr. Logan Junior here?" Her voice was amazingly friendly.However, when Larissa looked up, she saw Judy rolling her eyes at her. No one else could see it except for Larissa herself. Larissa had not yet figured out what the hell was going on, but she replied calmly, "Yes, he's here.""Thank you." Judy put on her sunglasses again and led her lawyer with her into Lewis' office."Mr. Logan Junior." As Judy ha

Lewis was curious about how Judy planned to make up her story."Yes." Judy stared straight at him. She did not avoid his gaze. "Larissa is a spy planted by your side by Moorewell. Her purpose is to steal Blue Star's highly classified information. She came to me less than two days later, using my dark past from my youth to threaten me to work with her."Lewis frowned deeply at that. "But if I recall correctly, you were not friendly with Larissa before …""That's an act!" Judy hurriedly explained. "This way, when something happened to either me or her, no one would suspect the other!""Well, that makes sense then." Lewis pretended to be convinced."But we never expected that I would get fired so soon." Whenever Judy thought of this, she was enraged. "I don't even know who took a video of me and uploaded that video to the Internet!""Isn't this something planned by you guys?" Lewis asked.Judy's eye twitched as she had a moment of panic. "N- no!" She furiously denied it. "How could

"Judy's gone just like that?" Larissa asked Lewis. "I thought you said that you were going to bring me along for the meeting?""They didn't want you there," Lewis said."Why? What did they say?" Larissa was curious about what Lewis, Judy, and her lawyer had talked about."Judy wants to use the identity of Moorewell's spy in exchange for us not holding her accountable for violating her contract." Lewis pushed the settlement agreement from Judy's lawyer to Larissa."Spy? Who?" Larissa got excited. However, Lewis only stared at her with a mysterious smile."What's with that smile?" Larissa was confused. Lewis still said nothing, but his smile grew deeper."It can't be …" Larissa had a feeling, and when she thought about Judy's weird actions today … "She told you I was the spy?"Lewis clapped his hands together. "Congratulations! You got it right!""You believed her?" Larissa asked anxiously.Lewis gave her a deadpan expression. "So, in your heart, I'm an idiot?""Well, no." La
