Chapter 161
To her surprise, she couldn’t sniff a walt of Lana’s perfume.
Lana loved spraying a generous amount of perfume en herself, making it so strong that it could be smelled from several yards away. When she stayed at Larissa’s house. Larissa’s clothes had been infused with the scent of her pertume, and every day she would receive questions about what perfume she was wearing.
II Kevan had driven Lana back, he would have been tainted with her perfume as they would have spent a long time together in the confined space of a car.
“You two have such a good relationship. I’m jealous! Looking at their embrace. Lana’s smile stened.
“You have a good relationship with Mr. Hermes ton, Miss Seymour.” Despite Kevan’s polite tone, his answer seemed insincere.
Lana forced herself to smile at his perfunctory response.
“Have you made up with Lucas? Larissa asked as the thought came into her mind.
After hesitating for a moment, Lana answered, “Not exactly. It’s all one-sided. He’s been pestering me, and I can’t get rid of him.” Sounding distressed, Lana chewed on her lips.
“Is that so?” Kevan asked with a smile. However, his gaze was stony. “I remember seeing you getting into Luca s’s car a lew lines when he picked you up, so I thought you two had reconciled.”
Lana didn’t expect him to have witnessed those moments nor did she expect him to expose her be. In the span of a few moments, her face paled before turning a deep shade of red.
“Well… it I don’t get in his car, he’d keep following me and it’d be annoying. That was the lame excuse she could offer.
“Alright, I see Kevan nodded. “I see him looking for you again. I’ll call the police for you.”
Atraid to make eye contact with Kevan, she lowered her head, mumbling. “Okay, then thank Mr. Rogers in advance.”
Upon entering the elevator, Kevan pressed the button for floor 19, while Lana pressed the one for foor 27. After Lana hac moved out of her house, Larissa never saw her in the building again. Although she knew that Lana lived in the same building as her, she’d never known which floor she stayed on.
Finally, she learned that Lana lived on the 27th floor. However, that wasn’t the locus of her attention-she was surprised that Kevan didn’t press the button for his floor, She couldn’t ask him in front of Lana as it would give away their secret
As soon as she separated from Kevan’s embrace, Lana held her arm and clung to her.
“I am free tomorrow. Larissa. You and Mr. Rogers should come to my place in the evening. My roommate and I will c ock for you,”
While Kevan didn’t know about Lana’s cooking skills, Larissa knew all too well
“I’m not sure when I be back tomorrow.” With that, she politely declined Lana’s invitation.
“Sorry, I’m not free,” said Kevan, following suil.
Lana’s face immediately fell,
“Twe been living here for so long, and you haven’t asked about me at all!” she whined, pouting as she complained to Larissa. “You haven’t asked if I’m doing well at work or if I’m doing okay! Now you won’t even come to my place for dinner! Have you never considered me your sister?
Her sudden outburst of tears caught Larissa off guard. She spoke the truth, so Larissa couldn’t argue with her.
At that moment Kevan stepped in between the two of them, pulling Lana’s hand away from Larissa.
“Have you ever cared about your sister who has been alone in Covenlord for so many years? Have you ever asked her if her work is going well or now she’s doing?”
Pulling Lanssa into a hug, he stared coldly at Lana
“You should ask yourself first if you’ve ever treated her as your sister,
