Chapter 175
Did he, Kevan, the president of Microworks Corporation, Ind a few dollars for delivery fees expensive?
Were rich people this stingy?
Kevan went downstairs to the nearby convenience store, bought a pack of cigarettes, and lit one. He took a pull and tried to calm himsell down as he answered his phone which had been ringing for some time,
“Is everything taken care of?” he asked coldly.
The person on the other end replied. “It’s done.”
“Both matters are resolved?”
“Yes.”
Kevan lowered his hand and flicked the ash off the cigarelle.
“I transfer the money to your account later.”
He extinguished the cigarette butt and threw the remaining hall-pack of cigarettes along with the lighter into the trash can.
After nearly an hour. Kevan returned, carrying a paper bag with the logo of the Regal Dynasty Hotel He took out the food and placed each item on the small table set up on Larissa’s hospital bed.
Larissa widened her eyes once again.
“So…you went to the Regal Dynasty Hotel to buy lunch?”
Although the hotel was not far from Victoria General Hospital it wasn’t close either. Criving back and forth would definitely cost more in fuel than the delivery less for ordering takeout-perhaps even several times more,
“The nearby restaurants are subpar,” Kevan said with a disdainful expression on his lace. “The lood at the Regal Dynasty Hotel is average. but at least its clean.”
After all the majority of people who come to public hospitals for treatment were regular folks, and the surrounding restaurants had the tendency to focus on offering affordable meals. Naturally, they wouldn’t prioritize their hyalene. Most people here ale merely to 10 their stomachs, and hardly anyone was as picky as him. But when Larissa thought of how much of a clean freak he was, she was very understanding of him, and let go of her doubts.
In the evening, Maris called Larissa, asking about the hospital and ward she was slaying in. She planned to come to visit with Jacob anter
work Neither of them was surprised when they saw Kevan.
Maria even waved at him and greeted him warmly, ‘Hello! You’re Larissa’s boyfriend, right?”
Larissa thought that Kevan would either ignore them or respond coldly since he was usually unapproachable. She didn’t expect him to
flash a genuine smile, and he even stood up to greet them.
“Hello,” he said in his usual indifferent tone but with a sincere expression.
Jacob extended his hand towards him, “Hello, How should we address you?”
Kevan looked down and shook his hand.
Larissa had ant cipated what was about to happen next as she had witnessed this several times before. She quickly intervened before the situation became aweward and explained. “He is a clean freak and isn’t accustomed to physical contact with others. I’m sorry!”
Upon hearing this, Kevan smiled ambiguously and glanced at her. Then he said to Jacob, “Well I really can’t overcome this psychological barrier, so please don’t mind me. My name is Kevan Rogers, You can just call me Kevan.”
Jacob was
an easygoing man who couldn’t bother less about such trivial matters. He casually shrugged. “It’s okay! I understand”
“That’s good.” Kevan smiled and brought over a chair, placing it next to another one, and politely said, “Please have a seat, both of you.”
Larissa was astonished by what she was witnessing. When had Kevan become so approachable? However, his unusual behavior didn’t stop therr
