Chapter 993 Invitation To The Award Ceremony


    "Calm down. I''ll be there." J smiled. She hadn''t expected Este to invite her, but she agreed


    without hesitation.


    But, if it was only for such a little thing, how could Este keep calling her instead of sending her a


    message directly?


    "Do you have anything else for which you need my assistance?" J inquired cautiously.


    Esteughed over the phone. "You do know me." She coughed a bit and then continued, "I''d like


    you to do me onest favor. Since our coboration is about toe to an end, it will be difficult for


    me to ask for your help in the future."


    "Are you going to look into Brandon again for your new novel?" J asked. Then she refused


    without hesitation. "I''m afraid I can''t help you this time. Last time, I promised you without his


    permission. He was already upset. I can''t make a decision for him again."


    Este was not surprised by J''s refusal. Instead, she was joyful. "You misunderstood me, J.


    I''m not going to ask him for help this time. I''m hoping you can help me ask your husband if he could


    give Sean half a day off for the award ceremony this weekend."


    Then Este''s voice turned soft. "I want to go to the party with Sean."


    J was taken aback. "He has to ask for leave on weekends? Oh my goodness! Is Sean actually


    working all year around?"


    Este was helpless. "Shouldn''t you focus on why I asked Sean toe with me?"


    J suddenly realized something. "I had a feeling something was wrong with you thest time we


    met. Instead of asking Brandon for assistance, you discovered a new way to gather the materials."


    "Didn''t I tell youst time?" Este admitted, a little embarrassed.


    "I can''t decide on my own, but I can ask him for you when I go back." J finally agreed.


    When Brandon returned home in the evening, he immediately saw J busy cooking in the


    kitchen.


    He had been working so hard all day that he didn''t even have time for lunch. He even felt a dull pain


    in his stomach in the afternoon.


    So when he now smelled the delicious aroma of the food, he felt very hungry.


    When he saw J busy in the kitchen, his heart softened and his tense expression rxed.


    Brandon removed his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to go into the kitchen to help her.


    But at that exact moment, J emerged from the kitchen with a big bowl of fish soup.


    "You''re back. Let''s have dinner first." J put the bowl on the table and walked up to him with a


    smile. She pushed Brandon and pressed him onto the seat.


    Brandon was taken aback. He wasn''t sure if it was his sixth sense, but J''s actions seemed


    strange today.


    "Just tell me what you want," he said directly.


    J removed her apron anddled a bowl of soup for Brandon. "Este asked me to attend the


    award ceremony with her. And she wants to know if Sean is free this weekend. Why don''t you give


    him a day off and let him attend the award ceremony with Este?"


    Brandon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it.


    He had a negative impression of Este and thought she was a loud woman.


    After putting the bowl in front of Brandon, J sat back in her seat and talked about Sean. "For


    many years, Sean has been single and working with you. You can''t be too controlling. Give him


    some time for himself. He''s finally showing signs of falling in love. You can''t put him off."


    "Can Sean be in love?" Brandon took a while to realize Sean liked that type of loud woman.


    "What are you talking about? Can''t Sean enjoy the beauty of love?" J asked as she served


    some food on his te.


    Only then did Brandon reluctantly agree to give Sean a leave. "Okay, just half a day."


    J grinned.


    "I will be busy this weekend, so I can''t go with you," Brandon added. "If Sean attends the award


    ceremony, he can ensure your safety."


    J''s eyes widened. After a few moments, she said, "He still has to work even though you already


    gave him a leave? How can Sean enjoy the party?"

    "It is part of his duty. His annual sry is very high," Brandon said slowly.


    "How high? He works almost 24 hours a day. No matter how much money you give me, I will not do


    such work!" J said firmly.


    Brandon smiled and whispered something into her ear.


    Her eyes widened. "Do you still need an assistant like Sean in yourpany? I''m willing to be one."


    Brandon leaned back in his seat and shook his head with a smile. "You''re such a swindler. Let''s just


    enjoy our meal."
