Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 961

“What do we do now? Wait for him to leave or call the police?”

Wendy sat on the floor like Larissa, her back against the wall where the door was.

“Let’s wait first. Larissa had some considerations.

Their apartment building’s security was stellar.

Normally, non–residents could never get in.

Larissa was afraid that Kevan might have come back–he had done this sort of thing before anyway, secrelly coming to Westonia without telling her.

But she did not dare to just go out as well.

After all, there were so many dangers hidden around her, so she could not let down her guard.

The heavy footsteps grew closer and closer, and Larissa’s heart began to race faster,

When the footsteps sounded outside her room door, Larissa’s heart was almost going to burst out of her chest.

She held her breath and typed to Wendy to tell her not to talk. “That guy’s right outside my door, I think,”

Wendy’s expression on her phone screen was equally just as terrilled, Larissa sent another message.

“If something happens to me, call the police at once.”

Wendy nadded furiously while covering her mouth.

However, the next second, Larissa heard Lewis ask, “Lari, are you in there?”

“Fuck!” While she was sighing in reliel, Larissa nearly smashed her phone in anger. “No need to call the police, it’s my cousin.”

Larissa ended the video call and got up from the floor to open the door.

“I thought you weren’t coming anymore.” Larissa glared at Lewis with annoyance. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?”

“You just don’t need to work at the company anymore. But you’re still in danger since the mole hasn’t been caught,” Lewis said.

Larissa soon accepted her fate of always needing to be “protected” by Lewis and she asked. “Did you need something since you came to

me so late?”

“I saw that your room light was still on, so I came over to remind you to sleep early.” Lewis rubbed her head and said seriously. “Don’t forget that you still need to work from home. You can’t stay up too late.”

“I don’t think I have anything I want to bring.” She stood in her bedroom and stared at her clothes.

Her brain was empty.

“Then don’t bring anything. Buy new ones when we get back to Caldor.” Larissa was also scared of trouble.

Dragging a whole load of luggage with them to catch a flight was definitely troublesome.

In the end, Wendy only packed a few sets of clothes that she wore frequently, brought her laptop, and left everything else behind in the

“Do you want to rent out this apartment? Larissa asked her, “If you want to we can lind a moving company to move all your stuff to my place.”

“Nope.” Wendy shook her head. “I don’t need that money. This apartment has our memories of several years here. I don’t want strangers coming over to ruin it,”

Larissa gave Wendy a look, “Ah, that’s a very nice thing to say, but you’re just too lazy to clean up, right?” Wendy glared at her and snapped, “You just know how to bitch at me all the fucking time! Just shut up!”
