Chapter 1104 A Hint From Beal
"Mr. Larson, are we heading back to the office?" Sean used the rearview mirror to study the man sitting in the back seat.
Brandon hadn't said a word since he got in the car. Before visiting the White family, Brandon had asked Sean to clear his work schedule; he was free all day. "Mr. Larson? Would you like me to take you home? I'll return to the company and handle any issues while you rest," Sean suggested.
Brandon's phone rang before he could answer.
Sean was debating whether to take Brandon to the office or go there alone when Brandon suddenly barked an order at him, "Drive me to Malus Bay."
"Okay." Sean turned the car around and still voiced his doubts. "Is this a good idea? Malus Bay belongs to the White family, and you just had an argument with Mrs. White."
"Just drive me there and try to avoid any of the White's spies." Looking down, Brandon sent a message of thanks to Beal.
Beal sent a second message to remind Brandon that Janet was still angry. His daughter got her temper and stubbornness from her mother Johanna. Beal warned Brandon not to push her too hard; doing so would only make things worse.
Brandon changed the plan. "Sean, drive me to W Marks instead. Janet should be at work now."
Around ten minutes later, a sports car parked in front of the W Marks Studio attracting a crowd of admirers.
Sean closed the car windows. Brandon had never
enjoyed being the center of attention. Brandon gazed out of the window. The streetlights cast shadows on his angular side face, making him look mysterious and melancholy.
Sean had never seen Brandon like this. Who would have thought that the all-mighty Brandon Larson would be snared by love?
Sean believed Janet was a woman with strong principles. She might look gentle and quiet, but if someone crossed a line, she would not find it easy to forgive.
Brandon would have to work hard for her forgiveness.
"What are you thinking? Are you grinning?" Brandon asked Sean, catching a glimpse of his face in the rearview mirror.
"It's nothing, Mr. Larson. Mrs. Larson should finish work soon." Sean raised his wrist and checked his watch.
Brandon stared out of the window again. He clenched his hands, an unconscious habit when he felt nervous. Time moved slowly. Every minute felt like an hour. Janet had only been gone for three days, but it felt as though months had passed, maybe longer. He missed her.
Sean rested his elbows on the steering wheel and looked out of the window. Something was wrong. Ten minutes after the office had closed and Janet had not yet emerged.
Suddenly, Sean stuttered, "Mr. Larson, do you think Mrs. Larson has gone home already? Should we go to Malus Bay?"
Noticing Sean's anxious tone, Brandon looked ahead. He saw Draco outside the office and a woman beside him.
The woman wore a pure white dress and held Draco's arm. They seemed intimate.
She wore very little makeup, and her smile was
beautiful and bright. At first glance, the woman looked just like Janet.
