Chapter 28 When Larissa's shoulder had healed to the point where she could return to work normally at the hotel , two weeks had already passed . Her colleagues celebrated her return by booking a private room at the most upscale fine - dining restaurant in Covenford . They hung banners , inflated balloons , and even bought her a big cake . Larissa felt guilty about accepting their grand gesture . As such, she accepted every single toast that came her way- And … she got drunk again . Some of the others wanted to send her home , but they didn't know her address . When asked about her family or friend's contact number , she could only stare back blankly without saying a word . " Ah ! " Someone raised their hand suddenly . " I have Ms. Seymour's husband's contact number ! One time , Ms. Seymour's phone died , and she borrowed mine to give her husband a call . I conveniently saved his number back then ! " " Call him ! Call him ! " the group urged . Someone spoke up weakly . " Aren't Ms. Seymour and her husband … divorced ? " This was undoubtedly breaking news to many of them . " Is that for real ? " " I never realized it ! Ms. Seymour is no different from before ." " Yeah ! Exactly ! Is your source of information reliable ? ' Bombarded with a series of questions , the person who revealed the news about Larissa's divorce was no longer certain about the authenticity of the news . " I heard the news from the front desk . About a month ago , Ms. Seymour's in - laws came to the hotel and caused a racket . At that time , it was Ms. Seymour herself who revealed that her husband had a mistress . She even said that she wanted to file a divorce with her husband immediately . " " With a wife as good as Ms. Seymour , her husband still cheated ? " " That man must be blind ! " The group was indignant . " So should we still give Ms. Seymour's husband a call ? " Amid the chaotic discussion , the person who first suggested calling Travis , interrupted . Everyone looked at each other . " Should we - just give it a try ? What if Ms. Seymour hasn't divorced her husband yet ? " The call connected quickly . Travis asked , " Who is this ? " Larissa's assistant was pulled over to act as a spokesperson . " Hi , I'm Ms. Seymour's assistant . Ms. Seymour is drunk now . Could you please come over and pick her up ? " Travis was shocked . He had originally intended to ask , " Have you dialed the wrong number ? " but instead , he asked , " Can you pass the phone over to Larissa ? " Larissa was drunk ? He couldn't believe it . Larissa was an extremely disciplined woman . She knew her limits when it came to drinking , and she would never drink excessively in public due to her low alcohol tolerance . It was only when they were both at home that she would accompany him for a few extra drinks . He suspected that this was some kind of trap . Her assistant glanced at Larissa sitting quietly in her seat and replied reluctantly . " Ms. Seymour is so drunk that she's no longer conscious of her surroundings . I'm afraid she can't speak to you right now . " Travis remained alert . " Then - can you switch on the video camera on your end ? " Her assistant felt that his requests were excessive , but she switched on the video camera regardless . Larissa's face appeared on his screen immediately , startling Travis . He quickly regained his composure and observed her carefully . Larissa's pale cheeks were dusted pink . Those bright , lively eyes had completely lost all of their luster , making them seem unusually empty . Someone called her in the background . After two or three minutes , her eyes swiveled in their direction groggily , and she opened her mouth to let out an " mm " sound . That sound she made aroused Travis immensely . It twisted and turned and latched onto his heart like an unrelenting hook .
