Chapter 381
Right after Janet walked out of the cafe, she started thinking about Brandon.
‘Kent wouldn’t joke about this. And besides, his words do make sense. If the paparazzi have Emani’s secrets, they wouldn’t be hiding it for so long without a good reason.’
“Could it really be Brandon again this time?” Janet muttered as she looked up at the sky and the falling snow from above. Her eyes soon dimmed.
She fished out her phone and looked for his number. It had been so long since they last spoke to each other. The last time he texted her was to tell her about the bonus.
She soon texted him a message. This time, she was determined to know the truth.
Though she wasn’t the smartest person in the world, she wasn’t stupid either. She knew that Brandon wouldn’t help her for no reason. He probably had a purpose and she wanted to know what it was.
Brandon didn’t respond immediately. In fact, her message remained unread for quite a while.
And so, she put her phone back into her pocket. It was getting dark outside. Oddly enough, she realized she hadn’t received any response for the message she sent to Ethan, either.
Upon arriving at home, Janet rummaged through her bag for a few minutes, but her keys were nowhere to be found. She scratched the back of her head, trying to figure out where she might’ve left it. Then, she remembered that she was in a hurry to get off work, so she must’ve left her keys on the desk in the office. Right after Janet walked out of the cafe, she started thinking about Brandon.
She leaned against the door, ringing the doorbell a few times. But then, nobody answered. It seemed as though Ethan hadn’t come back yet.
Fortunately, the company was just a ten minute walk away from where she lived. She could drop by the company again to get her keys.
It was already late at night when she arrived at the company building. There were only a few floors which still had lights on.
As soon as she entered the building, she noticed the CEO’s elevator door opening from a distance. The person inside was coming out of the elevator.
It looked like Brandon had just gotten off work. Janet took out her phone to check if she had received a response from him, but it turned out that she still didn’t get any replies.
She was lucky that she ran into him here by accident. She could just ask him her question face to face. If he really did help her, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask him why he helped and thank him properly for it.
Brandon had help her several times before and all she had done was to send him messages of gratitude. She had never expressed her gratitude to him in person. To her, it felt like she was being insincere.
In the distance, Brandon was surrounded by several men in black suits. He was also dressed in a suit and leather shoes. Just as he was about to walk out of the elevator, his eyes swept across the door and noticed her.
Brandon’s eyebrows knitted together. He paused for a moment and said, “I forgot a document upstairs. I’m gonna go upstairs and get it.”
If the men were to listen carefully enough, they would be able to hear that Brandon was frantic.
Thereafter, Brandon turned around and shuffled back to the elevator. His bodyguards followed him back inside.
When Janet saw that he went back to the elevator, she strode over to him and shouted, “Wait, Mr. Larson! It’s me, Janet Lind!” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
But as soon as she ran to the elevator door, it was already closing. She pressed the button and peered through the closing door. Brandon was turning his face away, but she noticed that he looked exactly like Ethan.
As Janet stood at the door of the elevator, she was stunned. She was about to take a closer look at him, but Brandon had already turned his back to her and the door had closed.
