Chapter 940
When they arrived at the hotel, Lewis finally asked the question on his mind all day. “Is Sharon Davis really your
friend?”
Since Brian wasn’t familiar with Larissa, he could be locled by their pretense. However, Lewis knew that Larissa’s
reaction wasn’t right. It wasn’t what one would expect from meeting an old friend.
“Not really. Sharan is the wile of Kevan’s friend. I’ve met her a few times. I never expected to meet her at
Thompson Medical. I certainly didn’t expect her to help me.” Larissa didn’t see the need to hide anything.
Pursing his ips, Lewis furrowed his brows as he seemed lost in thought.
Larissa was afraid that their act would be exposed with Brian present, so she hadn’t expressed her gratitude
properly to Sharon.
She sent a WhatsApp message to Sharon, “Ms. Davis, thank you so much for your help today. I was wondering if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou are free tomorrow for dinner. My colleague and I would like to thank you over a meal”
Sharon replied quickly. “There’s no need to thank me. However, if you are treating me to dinner as a friend, I’m
more than willing.”
Larissa had just typed in her response in the reply box when another message from Sharon came in, “It would be
better il you could invite Mr. Rogers and Dylan as well.”
Larissa couldn’t help but smile. Sharon’s intentions were quite transparent, albeit a little awkward.
She sent a reply to Sharon, “Okay!”
After that, she called Kevan, “Are you free tomorrow night? Sharon did me a big favor tccay, so I want to invite her
to dinner. I’m worried that she might decine, I want to invite her along with Cylan under the pretext of having
dinner together.”
“I’m free. Do you need me to make a reservat on?” Kevan asked.
“Alright! Don’t choose a cheap restaurant. There’s no need to save money for my sake,” Larissa replied.
Since she was treating them to a meal as friends, it wasn’t appropriate to claim reimbursement from the company.
However, even a lavish meal wouldn’t cost much.
“Alright,” Kevan agreed. The plan was set
Early the next morning, Larissa and Lewis went to Thompson Medical’s Industrial park to get the contract signed.
Larissa clutched the freshly signed contract to her chest, her heart pounding with excitement. At the very least,
Blue Star Shipping would
be safe for another year.
Brian put the pen back in his pocket alter signing and remarked, “It was fortunate for you that Sharon came
yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have signed this contract with you today”
Lewis replied, “When Ms. Davis has some free time, I will personally visit her to express my gratitude.”
Brian waved it off. “That’s not the point. Alter you left yesterday afternoon, I received a call from an old friend. He’s
helping another. Aldovian shipping company build connections. You might have heard of it.

conditions were more conditions were more
“To be honest, I was tempted. However, I’d promised you and Sharon, so I wouldn’t break my promise.”
“We won’t let you down. Mr. Ackley.” Lewis expressed his gratitude once again.
As soon as they left Thompson Medical’s office, Lewis’expression darkened, as it a storm was brewing overhead.
“What’s wrong? We’ve signed the contract Why aren’t you happy? Larissa asked.
“Thompson Medical did not have a public bid,” Leals said out of the blue.
“Huh?” Larissa didn’t understand what he meant.
Lewis answered. “The contract between Thompson Medical and their previous shipping company is expiring this
month. This is insider
“No one apart from related employees in Thomason Medical and that shipping company knew about this. Gary has
a friend working in Thompson Medical which is how we got the opportunity to cut a deal. That friend told Gary that
we were the only company who contacted Thompson Medical.”
