Sweet Subterfuge by Trina Duo

Chapter 197

Larissa didn’t give Xavier a chance to take her by force.

She knew that confronting Xavier head-on was not a wise move, so Larissa chose to compromise before the bodyguards took action.

“I will return home with you,” she said, “but before that, I need to ask for leave from the general manager and delegate my work to others.”

“Don’t try to be clever with me.” Xavier warned her, “I have a flight scheduled for 8 pm, so you must be here before 6 pm. If you try to escape, I’ll go to your general manager.”

Larissa had no intention of playing any tricks. Since Xavier knew where she worked and lived, it would be as easy as pie to catch her, no matter how hard she tried to escape.

However, Larissa couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong.

Xavier had always despised her and thought of her as a burden.

When she was still living with the Seymour family, he treated her as if she were invisible.

Unless necessary, he wouldn’t even spare her a glance.
