Chapter 1285 Eavesdropping Is eptable When Necessary


    Unable to bear the suspense any longer, Brandon decided to call Sean himself, seeking guidance for


    the current predicament. Sean, finally enjoying a day off, was spending quality time with Este when


    the call interrupted them.


    Annoyed, he picked up the phone.


    His heart skipped a beat upon realizing it was his boss.


    Did Brandon expect him to work at this hour?


    Should he pretend he’d left his phone behind?


    After a brief hesitation, Sean reluctantly answered the call.


    His boss’s anxious voice filled his ear. “As an assistant, is it permissible to eavesdrop outside the


    boss’s office when necessary?”


    Caught off guard by the question, Sean instinctively replied, “Of course not.”

    Silence lingered on the other end before Brandon’s frosty voice returned. “I’ll give you another chance


    to answer.”


    Sean immediately deduced his boss intended to eavesdrop on J’s office, seeking a scapegoat in


    case he was caught.


    Este, listening in, snickered, “Boss, if you ask me, asional eavesdropping doesn’t hurt. After all,


    Sean does it sometimes… Hmm…”


    Her words were abruptly muffled by Sean’s hand.


    But the damage was done. Brandon, now armed with that knowledge, retorted, “Este’s right.


    Eavesdropping is eptable when necessary.”


    Sean, thinking Brandon hadn’t heard Este’sstment, nearly sighed in relief until a sneer slipped


    through the phone. “However, tomorrow I’ll ask what you’ve been eavesdropping on.” Brandon then


    ended the call.


    Sean stared nkly at his phone, the screen now ck. He knew he was in trouble.


    Inside the reception room, J offered Mandy coffee and desserts, her voice soft. “Have some coffee


    and calm down first.” Mandy hesitantly took the cup, sipping slowly as she recovered from the pressure


    of Brandon’s presence.


    “Are you feeling better?” Looking at her pale face, J felt funny and shook her head.


    Finallyposed, Mandy recalled the reason for her visit. Embarrassment colored her cheeks as she


    thought of her earlier behavior and the coffee J had served her.


    It was so humiliating! She had actually disyed her timidity in front of J. She even epted the


    coffee she offered! How could she continue causing trouble for J now?


    Noticing Mandy’s shifting expressions and the anger that ultimately settled on her face, J couldn’t


    help but find the situation amusing. “Are you still upset?”


    Face flushed, Mandy shot a re at her and demanded, “What did you do to make Carly abandon me


    and choose you instead?” J’s smile remained. “If Carly didn’t exin, perhaps you should consider


    the requirements of Carly’s order more carefully.”
