Chapter 175: Brandon’s Favor


    The woman behind J snickered at her and whispered to her friend while they all waited for the


    elevator. “That’s really her. Where was she hiding all this while? Now that those people left, she has


    come out as if nothing had happened.”


    “She was probably waiting for the security guards to drive those people away. I think she must have


    availed a loan and doesn’t want us to know about it,” the man beside her echoed.


    J was in no mood to argue with them. She turned around and decided to take the stairs. She didn’t


    want to think about it and decided to concentrate on work. When J finally reached her desk, no one


    bothered to talk to her. Gerda was usually a chatterbox who spoke nonstop. However, she seemed


    strangely silent today. J’s colleagues nced at her and carried on with their work.


    https://novelebook/They all seemed eerily calm, as if a storm were brewing to destroy her life. J


    had been sensitive ever since she was a little girl. Sensing everyone’s strange attitude, she took a deep


    breath and sat down to draw.


    Time passed in a blur, and it was noon.


    Just then, J’s phone chimed with Brandon’s message that seemed like an rm bell, reminding


    J of what she had been trying to forget all day.


    “I heard today’s incident has something to do with you.” J’s heart leaped to her throat.


    What could she possibly tell him? After all, she had be the talk of the office yet again.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    J bit her lip and hesitated for a long time. A few minutester, her phone chimed again.


    “Answer me!” J could sense Brandon’s anger in the message.


    “Yes, Mr. Larson. I apologize for all the trouble. A group of fraudsters has deceived an elder from my


    family into signing up for a loan. I’ve been dealing with the issue. I’ll try not to cause any trouble to the


    All capitalists focused on their interests first. She only prayed for Brandon to show mercy and forgive her.


    However, this time, Brandon didn’t reply quickly like he usually did.


    J nervously checked her phone for new messages. Every minute seemed like an hour — it was


    sheer torture.


    After five minutes, her head began to spin. Fortunately, she didn’t rush to ask Brandon for help. She had


    thought of exining her situation to Brandon to find out if he might help her. After all, he could


    effortlessly solve the problem.


    However, J felt ashamed to ask him for help. After all, she didn’t know Brandon well. He was neither


    a rtive nor a friend. She didn’t even know what he looked like. He was her boss and wasn’t obligated


    to help her. J’s torture finally ended when she got another message from Brandon.


    “Don’t overthink about it. Focus on your work. Ourpany will handle this issue.”


    ‘What does he mean? Is he going to help me solve the problem?’ J couldn’t believe her eyes. She


    read and re-read the messages over and over again. She couldn’t understand why Brandon wanted to


    help her again.


    No boss would ever be this kind to an employee. Brandon was a businessman. J thought he would


    put the interest of thepany first over anyone. But he strangely seemed different from the others.


    “Am I somehow rted to Brandon? Is there a secret I’m yet to unravel?’ The idea seemed ridiculous.


    ‘But isn’t Brandon gay? Why is he doing all this for me?”
