Chapter 987 Unexpected


    Seeing that everyone was in a heated discussion, Vivian joined them and pretended to be clueless.


    "Did I miss something?"


    Just as one of the women was about to exin, the person beside her suddenly nudged her


    shoulder. "Hush! Mr. Larson ising."


    The other woman promptly shut her mouth and plopped back on her seat. Vivian turned in the


    direction of the door and saw Brandon and J walking towards them, hand in hand.


    Vivian was taken aback by the sight. How could they make up so soon? And why were they back,


    anyway?


    Everyone quieted down as the couple approached. They greeted Brandon and J as usual, as


    though nothing had happened.


    Being the cold and stoic guy that he was, Brandon simply nodded and said nothing. J, on the


    other hand, chatted with the staff with much enthusiasm.


    "I was dining here just now! You must have seen me, right? I was busy with work, so I didn''t get the


    chance toe over and say hello." She nced at the several bottles of wine on the table and


    waved a waitress over. "Please get these people two more bottles of Domaine de La Romanee-


    Conti and put it on my tab."


    The waitress was quite familiar with J. She and her friends had just ordered a ChateauLafite-


    Rothschild, after all. "Of course, ma''am. I''ll bring them over right away."


    The people at the table were initially stunned by J''s generous gift and began to refuse. "Mrs.


    Larson, the wine is too expensive, and we''ve only just met. There''s no need for you to do this."


    Before anyone else could speak, Brandon wrapped an arm around J''s waist andined in


    her ear. "You''re so nice to this people. I don''t think you''ve ever bought me such expensive wine


    before." "Stop it," J whispered as she tugged on his sleeve. "Or your employees will think that


    I''m stingy with you."


    The others were quick to put two and two together. Brandon had always been distant and


    unapproachable to them, but he was openly intimate with J. It seemed that their rtionship


    wasn''t at all affected by the incident a while ago.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "I was going toe up to you and say hello myself, Mrs. Larson. But I was afraid I might disturb


    you." The woman sitting next to Vivian wasted no time pandering to J. "I''ve seen you in the


    Fashion Weekly. I honestly thought that most distinguished female designers were hard to please,


    but it looks like I was mistaken. You''re so gentle and easygoing, Mrs. Larson. It truly is a breath of


    fresh air."


    Vivian almost rolled her eyes at that. Just a few minutes ago, this same woman was backstabbing


    J among her colleagues. She had to admit, however, that J was a lot smarter than she


    initially thought. She didn''t expect the woman to turn the tables so easily. Moreover, Brandon didn''t


    even look angry in the slightest.


    Vivian was not pleased, of course. Her grip tightened around her ss. Just then the man on her


    other side leaned over the table, identally knocking her hand in the process. The momentum


    caused her to throw the contents of her ss onto herself, staining her clothes and drawing


    everyone''s attention.


    "Vivian?" J said, surprised to see the other woman. "Are you here for the new employees ''


    dinner party as well?" It appeared that Vivian had been hired in the end.


    J had a good impression of her, so she was eager to start a conversation. "It seems that your


    interview went well, huh? What''s your current position in the Larson Group?"


    Vivian wiped the wine off her clothes and mustered a smile. "Hello, Mrs. Larson. I wasn''t expecting


    to see you here again. I''ve been—"


    "Aren''t you supposed to be getting your purse, honey?" Brandon interrupted unceremoniously. "The


    car is waiting outside. We should hurry."


    His arm slid up to J''s shoulder. He was just about to usher her away when the waitress returned


    with the wine.


    "Your wine is here."


    After setting the bottles on the table, she turned to J and said, "I apologize, ma''am, but you


    haven''t paid your bill yet. We took the liberty of adding the charges for your couple''s suite as well. If


    you no longer need the room, you may proceed to the front desk and cancel the reservation."


    Vivian''s eyes widened at the waitress''s words. She quickly averted her gaze and turned away.
