Sweet Subterfuge by Trina Duo

Chapter 90

Larissa received many congratulations for her successful attempt at defending her honor and vindicating herself.

The general manager called her as well and informed her that he was appealing directly to his superiors for her reinstatement and that she would most probably be able to return to work at the Regal Dynasty the week after.

Larissa hummed in acknowledgment. “Did you have breakfast yet?” she continued.
