Chapter 277

Kevan got straight to the point, informing Larissa, “You can’t be transferred back to Covenford for now.”

“Why?” Larissa was in disbelief. She wondered if even Kevan couldn’t handle this matter. Could it be

that Edmund held a higher position than him in the group?

“Actually, it was Grandpa who transferred you over.” Kevan couldn’t think of any other excuse, so he

decided to tell her the truth.

“As you know, Grandpa isn’t doing well from our last visit. He felt that his days are numbered. He also

felt lonely. Therefore, he hopes we can visit him more often.”

Larissa liked Roland a lot. It might be due to the lack of love she received as a kid. Therefore, she

cherished elders that were kind to her. If it was Roland who wanted her to stay …..

“Then I won’t leave.”

Kevan was shocked by how quickly Larissa agreed.

“Didn’t you say you dislike Bartham?”

“Yes, it’s because I don’t like the Rogers family. However, now that I have people I like here, I’ll try to

like this city.” Larissa sounded sincere.

Kevan stared at her side profile, looking at the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the strange

brilliance in her eyes. Suddenly, he felt a flutter in his heart and hugged her.

“Thank you,” he murmured, his head nestled on her shoulder.

Larissa thought he was thankful on his grandfather’s behalf, so she gently patted his back and said,

“No need for that. Let’s visit Grandpa when you’re free.”

“Okay.” Kevan hugged her even tighter after that. He decided he would never let go of her in his life.

Edmund got the news and went to Larissa. “You’re not leaving?”

Larissa didn’t want to answer him. Although she stayed for Roland, it was still a fact that Edmund was

the one who applied for her to be

transferred here without her permission.

In addition to the heads-up Kevan had provided, Larissa had resolved to distance herself from a

superior who did not value her opinions. Nonetheless, considering the long-term nature of their working

relationship and the fact that he was her superior, she knew better than to display a negative attitude

toward him.

“Yes, unfortunately, the headquarters did not accept my application.” She pretended to sigh. “I have no

choice but to comply with the orders given.”

“Actually, Bartham is a great place.” Edmund pulled out a chair and sat down. He was trying to

brainwash her. “The Regal Dynasty Hotel in Bartham is the most valued hotel among our branches. If

you do well, you are more likely to get a promotion than in Covenford. Plus, not that I’m praising myself,

but you’ll come to see that I’m a good leader after we get along. I’m easygoing and never give my

subordinates any pressure.”

Larissa hoped he was a cold guy like his cousin and wouldn’t pester her frequently. She showed him a

fake smile and responded briefly to his lengthy monologue.

“It’s going to be the New Year soon,” Edmund abruptly changed the topic, veering away from their

previous discussion.

“Are you going back to Covenford?”

Larissa had already agreed to stay with Kevan during New Year, so she won’t be returning to

Covenford.

“I’ll probably stay in Bartham. My family is here.”

Edmund didn’t seem surprised. It was probably because he had conducted some investigation into her

background.

“I’ll be here too. Can I ask you out for the New Year?”
