Like a deer caught in headlights, Lana stared at him silently, eyes wide. The tears in her eyes failed to

all. When the elevator reached the 19th floor. Kevan led Larissa out of L not sparing a glance at Lana.

“Thank you” Larissa said.

His words conveyed her true feelings. However, she could never bring hersell to say them. The

experiences she had as a child made her understand that nobody was obligated to treat her well, not

even family or friends. Hence, she never could condemn or throw a tantrum like Lana had just done.

Although the thought did cross her mind from time to time, all she could do was feel sad about it.

“Even your sister is willing to cook a meal to thank me, but all you can do is say thank you?”

Kevan had already let go of her. At the moment, he was leaning against her apartment door as he

looked at her, eyebrows raised in displeasure.

“Well… should I cook a meal for you?”

Kevan scoffed. “A meal won’t be enough.”

“Huh?”

“From now on. I’ll drive you to the hotel every maming. As long as you’re not on duty in the evening. I’ll

pick you up. At least twice a week,

you must come to Microworks to have lunch with me. As for dinner. it depends on the situation.”

His demands weren’t unreasonable. Thinking about it Larissa realized that she was the one benefiting

more from them.

Hence, she didn’t understand what he was doing. “Why?”

“Cant you see? Your sister likes me.” Kevan deadpanned as if he were talking about something as

casual as the weather.

He was frowning, dissatisfied with how slow Larissa was. However, Larissa wasn’t as slow as he

thought.

She had sensed the different attention Lana always gave him. She had even guessed that Lana had

feelings for him, and a few hours ago. she even mistakenly thought that they had a special relationship.

“You said that Lucas picks her up every day for work, right? Then they probably reconciled already.”

Lana must have been denying that to hide the truth, However, Larissa believed Lana did that because

she didn’t want to embarrass herself given how resolute she had been about their breakup in front of

Larissa.

Kevan had a different opinion. “Yeah, they reconciled, but she won’t let me know. Isn’t that because she

has her eye on me? She must be

trying to keep her options open,”

That made sense to Larissa.

“So- Holding her face, he slowly approached her until the tips of their noses nearly touched.

Her eyes locked with his dark gaze, and it rendered Larissa defenseless. Her body stillened, and she

held her breath as her heart began to

He hovered just inches away from her, nearly touching her.

“Make sure you put on a convincing act as my girlfriend to destroy your sister’s inappropriate thoughts

about me.” He paused, revealing a sinister smile. “You wouldn’t want her to become another Karin,

would you?”

As soon as he mentioned Karin, the incident at V. Style resurfaced in Larissa’s mind. After that Incident,

negative information about Karin flooded the internet. It concluded reports of her selling her body to

secure good roles from directors and investors, bullying less popular actors on set modifying scripts

without authorization to give hersell mate scenes, and so on.

As a result Karin was widely criticized online for her scandals, and her army of a million fans turned

their backs on her. To wash their hands of all responsibility, her management filed a lawsuit against her

and unilaterally terminated her contract. Since then, no other company was willing to take her under

their wing.

Furthermore, her scandals damaged the image of the brands she was endorsing. According to the

reports Larissa read online, Karin would have to pay nearly a hundred million dollars for breaching their

contracts.

A month or two had passed since then, and Karin had completely disappeared. No matter how hard

anyone looked, they couldn’t find her or any news about her. Larissa didn’t know how she was doing

now, but she ligured she wasn’t doing so well.
