“Slow down. There’s more in the kitchen,” Este said with a smile, trying to stop him from eating too
quickly and choking himself. She hadn’t expected that Sean would enjoy her cooking so much, and the
thought crossed her mind that she could make breakfast for him every morning in the future when they
were together.
Sean finished his meal quickly and helped Este with the dishes. As she followed behind him, Este
couldn’t help but feel like they had been married for years.
Sean turned around and said apologetically, “Este, I’ve been thinking about something for a while
now and I need to clear the air with you.”
Was he going to confess his love for her again?
Este was nervous and didn’t know how she would respond.
“I was drunkst night, and everything I said and did doesn’t count. Don’t feel pressured. We can still
be friends in the future. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to call me. I’ll do my best to help you.
I’m sorry. Whether you ept my apology or not, I had to say these words,” Sean said, avoiding eye
contact with her.
He didn’t see the disappointment in Este’s eyes which he was perhaps avoiding.
Even though Este wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, she knew that Sean was trying to distance
himself from her.
The memories of the previous night flooded back into her mind, and thinking about his confession,
Este asked in a serious tone, “Does what you saidst night really not count?”
Sean had no recollection of what he had said or done the previous night. All he knew was that since
Este didn’t want him to take responsibility, it would be best for both of them to forget about what had
happened.
“I’m sorry. Let me make it up to you,” Sean said sincerely.
Este was shocked and sad. It turned out that Sean had given her the bank cards the previous night
as a way to make amends.
That jerk!
Este was so angry that she turned around and left the kitchen, saying, “You can leave after you wash
the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. And I don’t want yourpensation.”
Sean was puzzled by Este’s sudden change in demeanor. She had been in such a good mood a few
minutes ago, and now she was acting all strange.
Nheless, Sean obediently washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. As he left, he reminded
her, “I’m going to thepany now. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to call me.”
Este rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Sean asked for a half day off and went home. In the afternoon, he went to work at the Larson Group.
As soon as Sean returned to thepany, he went to report to Brandon about what had happened the
previous night. When he entered Brandon’s office, however, he found Vivian already there!

When Vivian turned around, she discovered it was Sean who had entered the office.
“I didn’t expect you to show up at work today,” Vivian said in a surprised tone. “You were so drunk
yesterday that you passed out. I thought you were going to ask for the day off today. It seems Este
has taken good care of you. You’ve recovered so fast.”
Sean didn’t expect Vivian to mention what happenedst night in front of Brandon.
“Thank you for your concern. I’m much better now.” Sean raised his voice and held out the document in
his hand to Brandon. “These are the participants in today’s meeting, Mr. Larson. Yesterday, Vivian and
I…”
Vivian immediately cut in, “Mr. Larson, I came here to deliver some documents to you yesterday. You
weren’t here, but Sean was, and he helped me. So, I was trying to be nice and asked him out for
dinner. I didn’t expect Sean to be a bad drinker. Then, I came across something interesting. His
girlfriend came in the middle of the meal. Sean wouldn’t admit it at first. When he became drunk, his
girlfriend came back and took him away.” 1
Vivian calmly narrated what happenedst night, but something appeared off, which Sean couldn’t
figure out for a while.
“Please forgive my girlfriend. It seemed she was just in a bad mood yesterday.” Sean apologized on
behalf of Este. Thinking about the way Este had leftst night, he figured out that she didn’t get
along with Vivian.
“I should be the one to apologize. Your girlfriend seemed to misunderstand our friendship so she got
angry at me. When I went back, I did some thinking and realized that I had been thoughtless. If you
want, I can exin it to your girlfriend. I hope you don’t get into a fight because of me.” Vivian was such
a smooth person in a way that Sean wouldn’t find any loophole in her story.
Sean sighed inwardly as he realized Vivian was just as cunning as Charis. Hearing this, Sean could not
say anything more.
“It doesn’t matter; I was also to me.” Considering his strained rtionship with Este, Sean felt a
little depressed.
Vivian smiled calmly.
Brandon signed the document, and handed it back to Vivian. He turned to Sean and said coldly, “I don’t
want this to happen again. You should always remember who you are and keep a certain distance from
other employees. The next time I hear something like this, you should hand in your resignation
yourself.”
Sean’s present role was extremely delicate, since he knew many Larson Group secrets. Brandon
reminded him for the sake of the Larson Group’s development.
“I understand, Mr. Larson.” Cold sweat broke out on Sean’s forehead. He then bowed respectfully.
“Do you have any other documents for me to sign?” Brandon looked at Vivian.
Vivian shook her head obediently, held up the papers that Brandon had just signed and said, “No. I’ll go
out first, Mr. Larson.”
With a scornful smile on her face, Vivian turned around and walked out of the office.
She knew Sean was faithful and devoted to Brandon. He would have already told him about what
happened at yesterday’s dinner.
Brandon would undoubtedly despise her at the time.
Vivian hated being the passive one, so the first thing she did when she arrived at the workce was to
exin to Brandon and make it up.
Sean acted so quickly that Vivian had almost no time to exin to Brandon.
But seeing the silly look on Sean’s face, she couldn’t understand why Brandon had hired someone this
clumsy to be his assistant.
