Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 446

Everyone looked over-Kevan included. The moment his gaze landed on her, his eyes widened slightly in surprise. But soon, he calmly let out a faint smile.

Larissa ignored his gesture of goodwill and quickly averted her gaze to the producer next to him.

"Hello, Mr. Hart!" She went over and held out her hand toward him.

Zack Hart knew her. When the production crew of "Time of Childhood" first came to the hotel, Larissa had personally gone to meet with him. "Ms. Seymour, hi!" He stood up and shook her hand.

Their joined hands just happened to be in front of Kevan's eyes. He pressed his lips together for a couple of seconds as he forced down his displeasure and raised an eyebrow before asking, "Ms. Seymour?" Zack quickly introduced her to him. "This is Ms. Seymour, the general manager of the Winston Hotel."

Kevan rose up gracefully and intercepted Larissa's hand, his eyes slightly narrowed with a teasing hint in them. "Hello, Ms. Seymour."

His ever-cold hand caused Larissa to shiver. She did her best to maintain her calmness as she replied in a low voice. "Hello, Mr. Rogers."

She tried to remove her hand, but Kevan's fingers tightened around hers. His scorching gaze fixed on her, Kevan asked, "Ms. Seymour, you know who I am?"

Larissa smiled politely. "Who wouldn't know you, Mr. Rogers? You're the president of Microworks Corporation."

However, the moment she finished speaking, a series of gasps sounded from around her. One could hear the muttering coming over from a few other tables nearby. "Is that the president of Microworks Corporation?"

"That can't be? Is Microworks' mysterious president that handsome? I thought he was some old man!"

"Bruuuuh! Quick, snap a pic and upload that to Instagram!! We're eating with the fucking president of Microworks! This will probably be the only chance that we can do that!"

Kevan's smile deepened as he said meaningfully, "I guess there are quite a few people who don't know who I am."

Larissa was a little embarrassed. But thankfully, Kevan did not say anything else. He let go of her hand and sat down again. Larissa clenched her hand into a fist as if she could still feel the residual temperature left behind by his hand.

She was out of it for a few seconds before she pulled a smile onto her face, thanks to her assistant manager's cue, and continued greeting everyone else at the table.

"I've brought two bottles of wine to help liven things up. I hope you won't find it too blasé." Larissa got a waiter to open the bottles and fill up everyone's glasses. She and her assistant manager had a glass too. "I wish everyone an enjoyable dinner!" She tipped the glass back and downed everything.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the restaurant's atmosphere was fired up at once.

Zack tried to get her and her assistant manager to stay behind for dinner, but Larissa naturally refused his offer firmly. "We still need to get back to work. Perhaps I'll treat you all again next time."

She had originally taken time out to come down anyway. There was still a lot of work that she needed to do. Besides... Kevan was also here.

Zack had only extended that invitation out of courtesy, so he just let it be after being refused.

After leaving the buffet restaurant, the assistant manager asked Larissa excitedly, "Ms. Seymour, do you know the president of Microworks Corporation?"

Although Kevan had been in a coma for those few years, he was still at the top of the wealth ranking list through Microworks. The average person would always look up to him with plenty of admiration and envy.

"Can't say that I know him." Larissa's expression was bland. "I just happened to live in the same residential area as him, and happened to have the opportunity to meet him a few times only." The assistant manager's eyes widened. "Really? Shouldn't a rich person like him be living in a massive villa or something?"

"Maybe it's easier for him to go to work by living there." Larissa simply threw out a random answer before changing the subject. "The professors who will be attending the economic forum tomorrow will be arriving soon. Please go down and check if everything is ready later."
