Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 

Lana remembered Kevan telling Lucas at the banquet the previous night that he needed to fly to Bartham early that morning, “Oh, okay… If that’s the case. Three of us having a meal together sounds great too!” Lana sent her a cute emoji. 

On the first day, Larissa and Lana agreed to meet outside the Regal Dynasty Hotel at eight in the morning. Worried that Lana would be early, Larissa arrived at 7.50 am and texted Lana upon her arrival, but she didn’t receive a reply. She waited in her car until 8.10 am, but Lana was nowhere to be seen, so she called her. 

“Hello?” Lana said in a voice that was thick with sleep. She obviously hadn’t gotten out of bed. Larissa felt a little angry, but she reminded her mildly. “It’s already 8.10 am.” 

“Huh? What!” Lana shrieked and explained hastily, “Sorry, sorry! I set an alarm for 7 am, but I turned it off when it rang. I told myself I’d sleep for just ten more minutes, and I didn’t realize how much time had passed 

“Just hurry up and get ready. I’ll buy you breakfast. What would you like to eat? Larissa unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.” Bread and a cup of coffee. Thanks, sis! Lana said and made a kissing sound. If Larissa put everything aside, she could probably be lond of a cute sister like her. Alas, a family like that had made it impossible for her and Lana to be loving sisters. Besides, she wasn’t sure if Lana was really as cute and naive as she appeared to be. 

The Regal Dynasty Hotel offered breakfast to its guests every day, leaturing a wide variety of food from different cuisines. Additionally, any employee holding a position higher than a manager was entitled to special privileges at the hotel’s restaurant. Alter Larissa took bread and a cup of coffee for Lana and returned to her car, nearly twenty minutes had elapsed. However, Lana was still nowhere to be seen, 

“Have you left your room?” asked Larissa. A long time passed, but she got no reply. Worried that Lana had fallen asleep again, she called her. “I’m still doing my makeup. I’ll be ready in about ten more minutes!” said Lana. Larissa suppressed her impatience and said calmly,” Hurry up before the bread and coffee get cold.” 

“Okay!” Lana replied, but she made her appearance fashionably late–after a delay of thirty minutes. It was already late October, and the weather had turned bitterly cold. The temperature could drop below ten degrees in the morning. Lana was dressed in a fuzzy pink sweater on top, but she had only paired it with denim shorts and white sneakers at the bottom, leaving her thighs completely exposed. 

Although Larissa was sitting in the car with the heater on, she couldn’t help but shiver for Lana’s sake. She pulled her shirt collar higher before winding down the passenger side window and shouting. “Hey, over here!” Lana had been scanning the hotel entrance, seemingly searching for her. Hearing her voice, Lana finally looked in the direction of the humble–looking car by the roadside. 

Larissa caught a brief glimpse of shock and disdain on Lana’s face before she climbed into the car, immediately replacing it with a winning smile. “Sorry, sis, I overestimated how fast I could do my makeup.”
