Chapter 191


    For a second, Ethan was at a loss.


    But then a thought urred to him. In a low voice, he whispered to her, “Everyone’s staring. Just text


    him a ‘thank you’ message. You don’t have to keep staring at the men’s room. People might think


    you’re a pervert.”


    Only then did J realize that everyone who passed by the bathroom had looked at her strangely.


    Perhaps it was because she looked as though she was guarding the door.


    “Fine, I’ll text him.” Then she took out her phone and tapped away, typing out a message to Brandon.

    Sure enough, when she hit send, the phone in Ethan’s pocket vibrated. He didn’t dare to take out his


    phone to check the message she texted him just now. The text remained unread.


    She had sent him two messages, but they were both unread.


    Wouldn’t Brandon check his phone in the men’s room? Why were her texts still unread?


    “I’m a little worried. Do you think something bad happened to him? Should we ask the staff to go in and


    check if he’s alright in there?” J turned to Ethan worriedly. “What if he fainted?”


    Ethan closed his eyes. His temples throbbed. Judging from the look on J’s face, it looked like she


    wouldn’t leave until she saw Brandone out safe and sound.


    Fortunately, just then, Garrett showed up.


    “What are you two doing outside the men’s room?” Garrett unbuttoned his two suit buttons and smiled


    politely. Just as he was about to walk inside, J stopped him.


    “Mr. Harding, Mr. Larson has been in there for a long time. I’m starting to worry about him. Can you ask


    someone to go in and check if he’s alright?” Panic was written all over J’s pretty face, her eyes


    wide with worry.


    Garret nced at Ethan, who was winking at him furiously, and he immediately understood what was


    going on. Speechless, he racked his brains for a solution.


    “Okay, I’ll call someone over in a bit,” Finally, an idea urred to him. “Do you want to meet the new


    spokesperson of the Larson Group? I heard from Tiffany that the design department is preparing for the


    winter collections already.”


    Garrett forced a smile, although internally, his stomach was doing flip-flops. If he couldn’t get Ethan out


    of this sticky situation as soon as possible, he might lose his job.


    When it came to matters about work, J was serious. After giving it some though, she turned to


    Ethan and held up her phone. “I’ll go with Mr. Harding. Call youter.”


    Ethan smiled at her gently and nodded. ncing at Garrett gratefully, he turned around, walked out of


    the hall, and slumped into a chair.


    Then, Garrett quickly led J to the center of the ball. There was a bar counter there, where men and


    women in all kinds of fancy clothes were talking andughing merrily.


    Garrett looked around the people in one of the booths then his eyes lit up. He held up his hand in


    greeting to the woman sitting in the innermost corner. Under the dim lights, the woman then


    approached him with a bright smile on her face.


    Emani strode over to them. When she saw that it was J who was standing next to Garrett, her


    expression changed dramatically.


    J smiled back at her politely, but there was no mistaking the fierce look in her eyes.


    Garrett didn’t know what had happened between the two girls just now, so he introduced the two to


    each other. “This is Emani Gomez. You’ve probably heard of her before. She starred in a lot of famous


    TV dramas as well as a lot ofmercials.”


    With a calm look on her face, J stretched out her hand to Emani and said, “Nice to meet you.”
