Larissa coughed loudly and cleared her throat. Finally, Wendy realized that they were at the door. In a hurry, she turned off the video call and complained to Larissa, "Why didn't you make a sound when you entered?"
"I just made a sound, didn't I?" Larissa changed into house slippers and came up to Wendy. Grabbing her arm, she asked enthusiastically, "Is he coming to Westonia tomorrow?"
Frowning, Wendy pulled her arm away and pushed Larissa with disdain. "It's none of your business! Go and help Mr. Rogers to prepare dinner! I'm starving!"
However, Larissa didn't leave. "He just went home a few days ago, and now he's already flying back! Looks like he is really interested in you, Ms. Simmons!" She poked Wendy with her elbow and winked playfully. "You better seize this opportunity. Men like him are rare!"
"Get lost! There's nothing between us. Stop spouting nonsense!" Wendy kicked her in frustration.
Larissa chuckled and continued provoking her, "When are you going to introduce him to me? How about I invite him to dinner? Am I being considerate enough?"
"Argh!" Wendy covered her ears and shouted irritably, "Mr. Rogers! Get this annoying pest out of here!"
Kevan shifted the shopping bags from his left hand to his right. In a few steps, he wrapped his arm around Larissa's waist.
"Excuse me," he apologized to Wendy and dragged Larissa into the kitchen despite her resistance.
Kevan closed the kitchen door with his foot and placed the shopping bags on the counter.
Larissa took out and organized the items they had bought. Then, she took an onion from the fridge and asked Kevan, "Should I peel it?" She remembered hearing him talking to Aster about cooking scrambled eggs tonight.
