Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 554

"Ms. Seymour, someone's here to see you." Larissa's assistant intercepted her at the elevator lobby just as she returned from a meeting with a client. The assistant's expression held a hint of unease, one that Larissa had never seen on his face before.

"Who is it?" Larissa's steps halted as a wave of apprehension washed over her, causing her to cautiously glance behind him.

A trace of disdain flashed across his eyes as he replied, "It's that female celebrity, Yvette, who has been caught up in a bunch of scandals recently." He paused for a moment and asked curiously, "Are you acquainted with her?"

She didn't answer his question. Instead, she remained still as she inquired, "What does she want from me?"

"I don't know." He shook his head. "She seemed quite angry and had a pretty nasty expression on her face."

Although Yvette spoke softly, and her attitude toward him was cordial, he was not her fan nor a greenhorn in the workplace. He could somewhat discern her underlying emotions beneath her calm facade. Larissa had a premonition that Yvette's visit was connected to the article. In fact, she had anticipated that this day would come.

Yvette's reputation for engaging in transactional relationships and behaving arrogantly was widely known within the industry she used to be a part of. However, the part where she mistreated her daughter remained a secret known only to Larissa herself and the Seymour family. Given that the family now relied on Yvette's comeback to generate income and revive Cosmic Entertainment, they certainly wouldn't do anything to jeopardize their own interests. Therefore, it was easy for Yvette to figure out who exposed her past.

Larissa took a deep breath and turned to her assistant, instructing him, "Inform the security to come up. Lead them directly inside if there is any commotion in my office later."

The assistant widened his eyes in fear. He wanted to ask something but hesitated. In the end, he replied, "Okay."

…

Larissa pushed open the door to her office. Yvette was sitting on the couch, with a cup of lukewarm water in front of her.
