Chapter 772
Afraid that Marilyn would wait too long, Larissa only worked overtime for half an hour. Then, she turned off her
computer. She put the statements and reports that were not yet typed into the slideshow into her bag. She
intended to finish the slideshow at home.
“Let’s go.” she said to Marilyn once she was packed.
“So soon?” Marilyn had been playing with her phone while waiting for Larissa. When she heard Larissa speak, she
put down her phone in surprise.
“Yeah.” Larissa smiled. “It’s late, and I feel a little hungry.”
“Me too.” Marilyn rubbed her stomach. Then, she walked over to Larissa and hugged her arm, and dragged her
away quickly. “Let’s go then!”
Marilyn must have been really hungry because she drove her car like crazy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWestonia was like Bartham. The traffic was awful. Marilyn’s pink smart car was able to weave among the crowd size
to its size. Soon, they reached Queensway.
The restaurant they wanted to go to was on the main road of Queensway. It was a really obvious shop lot. Business
was booming because of its recent opening. Even if Marilyn had booked a spot in advance, they were still stopped
at the entrance.
The waiter coldly told them. “The previous customers are not finished. You will have to wait for at least half an hour
and above.”
The restaurant did not have a waiting area, so the people who were waiting to be seated had taken up the little
space that was in front of the restaurant
Larissa and Marilyn were squeezed in with this crowd. They were stuck. They didn
They did not know if they should leave or not.
Marilyn apologized to Larissa. “I’m so sorry, Larissa. I didn’t think that we would come early. If you don’t want to
wait, we’ll switch to a restaurant with fewer people?”
Larissa wrapped her windbreaker around herself and moved behind a tall man beside her. The chilly wind was
blocked off by the man. Only then did she stop shivering. Forcing a smile, Larissa said, “It’s alright. Didn’t you want
to try this place? We’re already here, and it’s only half an hour’s wait.”
*Thank you so much, Larissa! You’re so nice!” Marilyn
we her a bun
As time passed, the sky turned dark, and the temperature grew colder.
Many people wore down jackets. At the very least, they would still have a thick coat covering themselves. It made
Larissa and Marilyn’s outfits look rather out of place.
Larissa was already weak from working long–term in an office. Previously, she had been stuck in a hospital bed for
several months, so she was even weaker than usual. Soon, the tall man entered the restaurant with his
companions, and Larissa was left to shiver in the cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Larissa sneeze several times, Marilyn could not help but worry. “Are you okay?”
Larissa waved her off while she sneezed. “It’s–achoo–linel” She took out a pack of tissues from her bag. She then
turned around to blow her nose.
Marilyn brought her to a place where the wind was not so strong. “Why are your clothes so thin? You’ll catch a cold
like this.”
Larissa eyed Marilyn’s outfit. She thought that her words were not convincing.
Marilyn smiled and advised her, “Don’t compare yourself to me and those other people in the company. We’re used
to it, and we don’t feel anything at this point. If you can’t stand the cold in Westonia, it’s better to wear more layers.
“The most that would happen is that people would laugh at you for being lame. But it won’t really allect you. But if
you get sick because you wore fewer layers, you’d be the one who sulfers.”
Larissa thought about it and found it very reasonable.

When she reappeared, there was a cup of hot water in her hand. There was a thin slice of lemon in the water too.
