Cecilia didn’t hold Larru’s arm, but she walked close to him.
Her subtle fragrance wafted into Larry’s nose. It differed from the perfume that Lulu wore. Lulu’s smelled cheap, while Cecilia’s came from premium sandalwood.
It was subtle and sweet, just like her.
Cecilia was classier and better-looking than Lulu in all aspects.
“Watch out!” Larry yelled. There was a bump right ahead of them, and he stopped Cecilia from taking a step further. She had been so close to tripping and falling.
When Cecilia heard Larry’s warning, she stopped dead in her tracks and patted her chest in lingering fear.
Thankfully, she stopped right in time. Otherwise, she would have fallen flat on her face and embarrassed herself.
Even at such a critical moment, Larry didn’t touch her. He was clearly not one who would try to take advantage of others.
Cecilia was overjoyed to see that.
She stood even closer to Larry.
Sensing the change in Cecilia’s demeanor, Larry felt elated. She was so kind-hearted, understanding, and trusting of others. She was innocent and naive, a perfect match for someone as honest and down-to-earth as him.
Pleased, he became all the more careful with his manners.
At the same time, he shared his work experience enthusiastically with her.
“Swipe this card to enter the office. The first level is the design department. My colleagues would have just arrived and not yet busy with work. I can bring you around and introduce you to them.”
The culture at the anime-related company was relaxed and liberal. It was worlds apart from the industries that the Jarvises were familiar with.
In fact, the employees of the company had hair colors of the rainbow, very much like the comic characters that Cecilia liked so much.
She was so happy, she ordered milk tea for everyone in the team.
Larry smiled, joyful from the bottom of his heart. As long as he treated Cecilia well, he was confident that she would be moved by him and eventually be willing to marry him.
What Cecilia did made everyone else in the office envious of Larry.
“Larry has quite some luck in the relationship department.”
“Exactly! The moment Lulu left, Cecilia came. And both of them are so beautiful, more so than normal women.”
Cecilia’s grace and poise wasn’t something ordinary women had. She clearly came from a wealthy family of a high status.
“Richburgh really is a great place with many choices for its people, not like us.”
“We’re not that bad,” a colleague said, trying to smooth things over upon hearing everyone else’s bitter tone. “We’re designing this blind box with the aim of capturing the hearts of young girls everywhere.”
He turned to look at Cecilia, and asked, “Isn’t that right, Ms. Jarvis?”
