Larissa was taken aback, “Why do you want to ask me out?’

Edmund unveiled a shy smile before bowing his head. The effeminate demeanor he displayed didn’t

seem out of place on his feminine face.

“You might not believe me…” Edmund bit his lip. Then as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly

raised his head and stared at Larissa,

Actually, on the day you scolded the housekeepers I fell for you at first sight. It was out of my personal

Interest to transfer you here,”

Larissa felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her mind went blank. It took her a while to regain

her composure, and she chuckled,

saying, “Mr. Rogers, please don’t play such a prank on me.”

Edmund knew she didn’t believe him and seriously said to her, “I’m not joking. I really like you.”

His serious expression and tone caused Larissa to panic. While she had experienced many love

confessions in the past, this was the first time she felt flustered. She didn’t know how to reject him.

After all, Edmund was her superior. She felt a responsibility to preserve his dignity and avoid being

overly blunt in her response.

“Sorry, Mr. Rogers. I’m married,” she began, her gaze drifting to her ring finger, which bore no ring.

Once again, she regretted not wearing the diamond ring that Kevan had given her.

Edmund’s gaze instantly became sullen. “Are you really married or trying to fool me?”

“I’m really married. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the marriage certificate.” Of course, she

wouldn’t really let him see it. She, couldn’t make known her relationship with Kevan.

“No need for that.”

Larissa felt relieved hearing his answer.

“Your marriage doesn’t affect me,” he sneered, accompanied by an unsettling laugh.

*After all, there are no married couples that can’t be broken up. It simply means the third party hasn’t

put in enough effort.”

With that, Edmund rose from his chair and placed his hands firmly on the table. He looked down at her

with a condescending gaze and declared, “I won’t give up on you. I believe that one day your heart will

be mine.”

Edmund left her office after that, leaving her shocked. “Edmund

He has gone crazy!”

His intention to intervene in her relationship with Kevan revealed a deeply twisted sense of morality.

Larissa couldn’t fathom the extent of his distorted mindset.

Larissa did not plan to tell Kevan about this. The previous rumor between her and Edmund had already

enraged him. If he knew that Edmund wanted to sna tch her from him. She might be killed.

Following Edmund’s confession, Larissa remained on edge, worried about his unpredictable actions.

Fortunately, Edmund never did anything too crazy after that. Just like that, they peacefully ended the

last few days of work before the new year.

As the long-awaited holiday season approached, Roland, being aware of Larissa’s time off, invited her

and Kevan to his home to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
