Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 346

It was only after Kevan promised that he would return from the company as fast as he could that Lucas returned Larissa's phone to her.

Larissa led Lucas upstairs—After all, many residents would come and go, so to stay at the entrance of the building was a little too jarringly obvious.
