Chapter 152

Lana’s desire was admirable and worthy of respect, However, in Larissa’s eyes, her sister’s decision to

give up everything and start anew in Covenford seemed too hasty and even impulsive. Uimately,

Larissa believed that Lana’s smooth–salling life, coupled with her lack of encounters with many

setbacks, had led her to view the workplace as child’s play.

“Finding a job isn’t easy, especially for someone like you who isn’t a recent graduate and lacks

substantial work experience. It might be challenging to land a position in a big company.” Larissa

cautioned.

However, Lana brushed off the concem. “Well I can ask my friends to introduce me to job opportunities.

I have quite a few friends, and they are in various industries. Besides, my main goal is to gain

experience, so I don’t have high salary expectations.”

Since Lana had made up her mind. Larissa saw no need to convince her otherwise. Lana would learn

when to retreat if she faced setbacks, although she might also choose to persist. Ultimately, it was

Lana’s life, and Larissa did not feel overly concerned about it.

“It’s getting late. You should take a shower and get some rest” Larissa rose to her feet as she spoke,

but Lana immediately grabbed Larissa’s hand.

“Larissa,” Lana looked up at her sister with pitiful eyes. “ILI stay in Covenford, can I move in and live

with you?”

Larissa had been waiting for Lana to ask that. Now that Lana finally did, it confirmed that Larissa truly

understood her sister. Unfortunately. the same might not be true in reverse.

“I can accommodate you for a week at most. If you haven’t found a job or a place to stay within that

time, you’ll return to Bartham, forget about being independent, and continue being the little princess” at

home.” Larissa stated firmly.

Lana hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. “Okay.”

Lana moved in with Larissa. However, Larissa was busy the whole time Lana was there and did not

have much time to care for her sister. Occasionally, she would cook a meal or two for Lana when she

was home during the day, but the rest of the time. Lana had to eat out or order takeout.

Lucas would often call Larissa. At first, he would apologize for his actions, but later he would subtly ask

about Lana’s situation. He even swallowed his pride and begged Larissa. “Nana wants to break up with

me and has blocked me on her phone and social media. Can you talk to her and try to change her

mind?”

Although Larissa had forgiven Lucas for his previous rudeness, she had decided to minimize her

contact with him since then. She had never been fond of interfering in other people’s relationships, so

she would straightforwardly reject his requests each time. “You need to figure things out on your own, I

can’t help you with that ”

As the week was coming to an end, one evening, when Larissa returned home, she found that Lana

had prepared a table full of dishes and even opened an expensive bottle of champagne.

Lana proudly announced, “Larissal Iound a job and a place to live!”

Lana had pursued a major in classical dance during her college years, and her role at their family

company as “Assistant Director of the Artist Department” was seen by Larissa as more of an idle

position. As a result, Lana’s work experience lacked a competitive edge in the professional world, and

this made Larissa curious about what kind of job Lana had managed to secure.

“Well my friend works as a talent agent at StreamWave Studios. Recently, the studio signed a lew new

anchors, and they are in need of agents to manage them. So, my friend recommended me for the

position, Lana explained.

Being a talent agent was somewhat related to her previous job, although it was far more demanding

than being an “Assistant Director.” Larissa was worried that her sister might struggle with the new role.

However, aller seeing Lana’s excitement, she didn’t have the heart to dampen Lana’s spints. She

simply patted Lana’s shoulder and smiled, saying, “You’ve got this.”

Lana insisted on celebrating with drinks, so Larissa joined her for a couple of drinks. Then, she

remembered something and asked, “So, where will you be living?”

“My friend is also living alone here in Foxtail Garden, so I plan to share an apartment with her. And

guess what? She lives in the same building as us! Isn’t it a coincidence? Lana’s eyes sparkled with

excitement.

Upon hearing that Larissa’s heart skipped a beat, but she composed hersell and smiled. “That’s quite a

coincidence indeed.“

“From now on, I can come over often and mooch off you for meals!” Lana put down her glass, hugged

Larissa’s arm, and snuggled agains

it. Then, she teased. “Will be a third wheel with you and Rogers?”

Larissa noticed that Lana seemed to enjoy mentioning Kevan,
