Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 913

Lewis‘ timing was too coincidental Larissa had just told Marilyn that Lewis was not free, and now he was inviting her to have dinner.

No matter how it was, it looked like Larissa was the one who had done something on purpose to “break up” this couple from becoming real.

“Mr. Logan Junior.” Larissa tried to distance hersell from it all. “Why are you leaving so early today?”

“It’s the weekend.” Lewis‘ response was simple and to the point. “So, do you want to go grab dinner with me?” he asked again.

Worried that Larissa would say no, he added, “My treat.”

“Uh…” Larissa hesitated before an idea hit her. “Why don’t we bring Marilyn? Marilyn was going to treat you too, right?”

“Think about what you’ve said to Uncle Gary about me and Marilyn?” Lewis hinted at her.

Larissa was defeated by his strong aura as she gradually began to back away. “Sorry, I was wrong.” She always knew when to back oll and apologize quickly.
