Kevan quickly got out of the car to open the door for Larissa. He also made sure to give her his arm.

Using his arm, Larissa stepped steadily on the floor..

She had made a rare change to her usual working heels–they were her “combat heels“-as both Kevan and Asterhad forced her to wear a pair of warm Ugg loafers instead.

Thank goodness the trousers she had chosen were lorg enough. It was just enough to hide the loafers that clashed with her overall style.

Kevan stood in front of her. He bent down and helped her zip up her knee–length down

un jacket until her neck was covered up.

“It’s cold out.” he said. When he saw her annoyed frown, he soothed her like a child. “Be good.”

Larissa immediately looked away, her face red. She did not dare to look at him.

After a night of rest combined with the application of medicine from Kevan as well as a massage, the swelling at Larissa’s ankle had shrunk, Still she could not use too much force when walking.

She did not let Kevan send her up, but she hobbled into the building hersell, which attracted the attention of many people.

Lewis had already prepared her name tag and given it to her. She successfully passed through the many gates downstairs with it.

Because it was past working peak hours, there were not many people lining up at the elevator. Larissa was too lazy to call Lewis to make him come down and get her because of that. She thought it was a

waste of his time.

The space of the elevator car was narrow, and the air was not circulating.

The medicine smell from Larissa made her new colleagues standing near her cover their noses. They also gave her a lot of stares of scom.

The inside of the elevator was all golden metal mirrors, so Larissa was able to see a.. the open and secret stares people were giving her. She looked down and said nothing. She acted like she did not sense anything and just stared at her feet blankly,

After several stops, Larissa and another person were the only ones left in the elevator. That was a blonde, busty, beautiful woman, who wore the latest Chanel suit. She also had a lamoskin bag with her. They shared the same destination: the presidential office, which was

located on the topmost floor.

The moment the elevator doors opened, the woman behind Larissa quickly exited the elevator before Larissa hersell could.

As the woman passed her by, Larissa could kind of hear a light snicker. Looking at her own outfit, Larissa was super annoyed.

Ever since Larissa entered the building, no one was dressed the way she was. No one wore a thick down jacket. It was like they could not feel the cold outside, and they wore thin suits–some lemale employees even wore short skirts without pantyhoses. They only covered

themselves with a thin coat.

When standing among them, Larissa stood out a lot.

If she had known about this earlier, Larissa would have preferred to freeze to death even if it meant that those two males at home would nag her to hell for not wearing the jacket.

Larissa took off the down jacket and held it in her arm. She calmed her breathing before stepping into the presidential office.

She simply found a male colleague and asked with a polite smile. “May I know where Mr. Lewis‘ ollice is?”

“Why are you looking for Mr. Lewis? The man was very alert upon seeing her unfamiliar face. “Did you make an appointment? Mr. Lewis is very busy with work. He will not meet anyone if there is no appointment.”

Larissa showed him her name tag. “Im the new assistant for the president.” She saki, “Mr. Lewis is my direct supervisor. I’m looking for him to report for work.”

“Oh, so it’s you!” The man suddenly realized it, and his attitude became friendlier. “Mr. Lewis did tell us two days ago that there will be a new colleague coming today.” He stood up and led Larissa Inside. “He should be in his office right now. I’ll take you to him.”

As it was during working hours, most people were seated at their workplaces. But Larissa and the guy– mainly Larissa–were walking by rather noticeably, so people kept looking up at thern. questioningly.

Larissa hurriedly said, “I’m Larissa. Pleased to meet you all.”
