Chapter 994 Start With Sean____


    After thepany''s dinner party, Vivian requested a day off because she had some matters to


    attend to at home.


    The following day when she went back to work at the Larson Group, she overheard her colleagues


    discussing something in hushed tones.


    Using the chance to get some water from the tea room, Vivian approached them and learned that


    they were discussing a waitress who fell off the stairs at the hotel where they had dined the other


    night.


    "It was the same waitress who served us the wine. I heard that she is still hospitalized with severe


    brain damage and may have difficulty waking up." A woman with short hair seemed to have the


    inside scoop on the situation and was exining it to everyone. "I heard that the hotel has


    generouslypensated the waitress''s family, but I sense that it''s not as simple as an ordinary


    ident."


    "The waitress had an ident at the hotel. It''s only natural for the hotel to be humane and offer


    compensation. What''s so strange about it?" Vivian inquired calmly.


    Other colleagues also sighed. "It''s just so tragic. The waitress is so young and now she''s lying in the


    hospital. And possibly will be unable to regain consciousness for the rest of her life! It''s such a


    shame."


    "How unfortunate!" Vivian echoed their sentiments with a look of pity on her face before leaving with


    her mug.


    As she walked away, a cold glint shone in her eyes.


    If that waitress hadn''t bothered her that day, she wouldn''t have tripped and gotten injured. She


    deserved it by all standards!


    Vivian thought to herself, not feeling an ounce of remorse or guilt for what she had done.


    Later, as Vivian made her way to the CEO''s office on the top floor to get a document signed, she


    ran into Sean at the door.


    "Hi, Sean." Vivian greeted Sean warmly.


    Sean and Brandon were like two peas in a pod, and Sean was currently the person Brandon trusted


    and valued the most in thepany. All the staff at the Larson Group held Sean in high regard.


    "Hello, are you bringing a document for Mr. Larson to sign? Just give it to me. Mr. Larson is in a


    meeting at the moment." Sean noticed the document in Vivian''s hand.


    Vivian shed him a gentle smile and handed over the document. "Thank you, Sean."


    Sean took the document inside Brandon''s office. When he got back, he found that Vivian was still


    hanging around the front door.


    "Do you have any other business with Mr. Larson? The meeting will conclude in about thirty


    minutes. You''re wee to return at that time." Before leaving, Sean checked the time on his


    watch.


    Vivian quickly caught up to him. "Actually, I''m waiting for you."


    If she wanted to get close to Brandon, she could easily pawn Sean.


    "Me?" As Vivian approached Sean, a cold sweat broke out on his back and he became immediately


    vignt. Brandon had previously warned him to be on guard against Vivian, as he suspected that


    she had ulterior motives for joining the Larson Group, which he''d figure out with time.


    It appeared that Vivian was going to begin with Sean now that she had taken the initiative to get


    close to him.


    With a coy smile, Vivian invited Sean to dinner, saying, "I don''t know if I have the right to, but I''d like


    to invite you to join me for dinner. What do you say?"


    Sean was not particrly interested in dining with Vivian, as he found her too thin and unappealing.


    Eating with her was unquestionably less enticing than eating with Este.


    However, he saw this as an opportunity to gather some clues about Vivian''s true intentions.


    And so he decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of the Larson Group and Brandon. He forced a


    smile and nodded. "Sure, I could use a diningpanion." Since he was Brandon''s assistant,


    Vivian assumed that Sean should be extremely cautious around her, and he would not readily be


    invited to dinner. Sean''s quick assent surprised her.


    She immediately decided Sean was not on the same level as Brandon.


    They booked a reservation for dinner at the Italian restaurant nearby. Due to the fact that nearly all


    of the businesses in this area''smercial district were foreign-owned, a number of international


    restaurants were highly popr.


    Specifically, Sean ordered pasta carbonara and tomahawk steak. A sd and a bottle of red wine


    were all that Vivian ordered. She limited her meal intake significantly to retain her trim physique.


    Sean didn''t dare move his knife and fork, and his entire body became a little rigid even after the


    courses were served.


    "Sean, don''t you feel like eating? Ugh, I''m starving. I''m digging in right away!" Vivian took the fork


    and tasted her sd. She then sipped the wine and remarked, "You ordered two main dishes, right?


    You must eat them alone. In other words, I''m not going to help you!"


    Sean feared there was something wrong with the food on the table, so he refrained from eating it.


    After seeing that Vivian was having fun, he rxed and started a conversation.


    Vivian had a way with words. They spoke throughout the meal.


    During this encounter, Sean felt like he had faced a legitimate adversary. He wiped his brow secretly


    and unintentionally said, "Were you familiar with Miss Turner before? I see a lot of parallels in the


    way the two of youmunicate and act."

    Vivian was caught off guard when Sean unexpectedly raised the subject. She was vignt but


    cordial during the entire encounter. "I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Turner on many asions.


    As well, she was involved with the nonprofit program. It shouldn''te as a surprise that I knew


    her." She was indeed telling the truth.


    Just as Sean was getting ready to probe more, his phone rang. It came from Este!


    "I apologize, but I must take this call." Sean got to his feet.


    Taking a few steps ahead, he answered the phone while facing away from Vivian.
