Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 389

The middle-aged man sat on the shuttle bus with Larissa, and after his passionate introduction, Larissa found out his name—Gary Logan. He worked at Blue Star Shipping, an internationally renowned company. Due to work commitments, he had to travel back and forth between Caldor and Aldovia.

"Usually, my assistant would be with me; however, he had some family problems, so he couldn't come on this trip. Who would have thought such an incident would happen? Fortunately, you were there," Gary said, still visibly shaken.

Then, he asked Larissa for her business card. "I have to deal with some company affairs today. I will treat you to a meal some other day to thank you for saving my life."

Larissa smiled apologetically, "I'm here to study. I just arrived."

Gary's response was barely audible as he furrowed his brows, saying, "Isn't university registration at the end of August? Why are you here so early?"

Larissa lowered her head in embarrassment and explained, "I came over to brush up on my language skills first. I'm not good at speaking it, so I'm worried I might not keep up if I started studying immediately."

Gary nodded. "Have you taken care of everything?"

Perhaps it was because she had saved his life earlier that he expressed concern about her situation. "Have you found a school and a place to stay? Is there family coming to pick you up? Do you need me to arrange a driver for you?"

Larissa politely declined his kind offer. "I have a friend here who has already helped me arrange everything."

"Okay." Gary looked disappointed. Then he retrieved a pen from his pocket and gently held Larissa's hand, writing a line of numbers on her palm.

"This is my phone number. Once you have a local phone number, remember to contact me."

Larissa closed her palm and smiled politely before nodding. "Okay."

After Gary exited the airport, two foreign men in suits welcomed him and took his suitcase. Gary then gestured to one of the men. "Help her with her luggage," he instructed, indicating Larissa.
