Lewis frowned deeply at that. “But if I recall correctly, you were not friendly with Larissa before-

“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 this be planned? I didn’t think that Larissa would go to that restaurant for dinner too!”

His gaze was sharp, and Judy looked down quillity. “I swear that I’m not lying to you.” She was clearly not as confident as before.” However, it’s right for you to be careful I can understand.”

Judy gave her lawyer a look, and the lawyer took out a document and gave it to Lewis,

“Okay.” Lewis accepted the document.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.” The lawyer and Judy got up together and left Lewis” office.

Larissa was wondering why they had not left the office for so long when she saw Judy and the lawyer coming over to her. Lewis was not

behind them.

Judy still stopped before Larissa’s workplace. “I’m sorry, Larissa.” She left that confusing bit with Larissa before hurrying away.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Marilyn had seen Judy and Larissa’s two interactions. She asked Larissa, “What’s up with Judy?”

Larissa replied. “No idea.”

“You’re suddenly friends?”

“No.” Larissa did not know how the hell Marilyn managed to see that. Their attitude toward each other had not changed from belore. It was just that Judy had said some pretty weird things that confused people.
