Chapter 1024 Spreading Rumors
After being scolded by Vivian, the employees were too embarrassed to raise their heads and look at
her.
"If you understand now, get back to work then," Vivian ordered. With the document in her hand, she
turned around to leave. But before she could take a step, a female employee voiced her
dissatisfaction.
"We''ve just finished our work and were just getting a ss of water. We heard that something
might''ve happened to our boss. As employees of the Larson Group, we''re worried about him and
thepany. Are we not allowed to talk about it and express our concern?"
As someone had taken the initiative to speak out their apprehension, everyone else straightened up
and began arguing with Vivian.
"Yeah! We were just chatting. Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?" a male employee
argued.
"Did we do something wrong? Is it already a sin to speak?" another female employee retorted,
"Don''t think you can take over just because Mr. Larson isn''t here!"
The female employee must have been shocked by Vivian''s stern words that her eyes were red and
brimming with tears.
"What... Are you kidding me?!" Vivian restrained herself from further reprimanding them. She closed
her eyes and breathed out. Once she calmed down, she looked at everyone and seriously said, "I
just hope all of you follow the rules of Larson Group."
The employees spoke at the same time, expressing their discontent. Vivian had had enough of it.
But since she was outnumbered, she could only give in. "You can do whatever you want; just make
sure you finish your work."
Just when the employees thought they had won, Sean entered and joined the conversation. "Mr.
Larson may not be in thepany, but you can''t just talk about him like that, much less spread
baseless rumors. Have you forgotten that Vivian is your superior? You should all listen to her."
"Sean, we just don''t want to be misunderstood," an employee replied.
Everyone knew that Sean was chill and easygoing. Seeing him so serious right now made everyone
realize the gravity of the matter.
"Why don''t you do your job during work hours and gossip when you get off work? For your
information, Mr. Larson is just on a business trip. And yet, you''re all specting that he''s
hospitalized because of a car wreck. Stop spreading rumors, okay?" Sean snapped loudly.
Now that their question had finally been answered, everyone finally stopped specting.
"We''re relieved to know that Mr. Larson is fine. We were just worried about him as we saw on the
news that thepany''s helicopter appeared at the scene, so we thought..." The employee who
just spoke trailed mid-sentence and then continued, "Anyway, now that you''ve refuted the rumor, we
can finally be at ease."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Sean checked the time on his watch and dismissed
everyone. "All of you, get back to work now. Mr. Larson left the country yesterday via helicopter. To
set things straight, the ident on the highway has nothing to do with Larson Group. If anyone
spreads groundless rumors again, they will be fired immediately."
"Got it."
After the order was given, everyone exchanged nces, scurried to get out of Sean''s sight, and
returned to their seats to continue their work.
Before leaving, Sean nced at Vivian, who was absentminded and had not said a word for a long
time, and asked, "Are you okay? Don''t mind them. If something like this happens again, just report it
to your superior. People talk, but in the end they all work for the Larson Group, and they only want
what''s best for thepany. They''re notbad people." Although Sean didn''t trust Vivian one bit, he
had to at least pretend to be nice to her for now.
"I''m fine," Vivian replied. "Here''s the document that needs Mr. Larson''s signature. When will he
come back from his business trip anyway?"
"I don''t know for sure when Mr. Larson will return. It depends on whether the negotiation is
sessful or not," Sean vaguely replied.
Vivian''s dark eyes were especially bright at the moment. With a sincere and innocent smile, she
said, "This morning, I saw you take the documents out. I thought you were going to give them to Mr.
Larson in person. But now you said Mr. Larson had gone abroad, which perplexed me."
"No, I wasn''t bring the documents to anyone. The truth is, I went to Mr. Larson''s house to get the
documents he left there." Sean smiled coyly and put his finger on his lips. "Don''t tell anyone about
this, or others will think I''m forging his signature."
"Don''t worry. I know what to do," Vivian promised with a knowing smile. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll
go back to work now."
All of a sudden, Sean''s face lit up as he remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, where did you go two nights ago? I heard from the HR you asked for leave that
afternoon."
"What''s in it for you? If your girlfriend finds out that you care too much about me, she''ll get mad,"
Vivian joked.
Upon hearing this, Sean scoffed, which made Vivian chuckle.
"Chill. I was just kidding. Two days ago, a servant called me and told me that my parents got in an
ident abroad. I was so anxious at the time. I asked for a leave, but it turned out that my parents
were just tricking me. They video-called meter and updated me with their trip abroad."
"Is that so? It turns out that you have a great rtionship with Mr. and Mrs. Turner," Sean remarked.
Contrary to his words, his eyes were narrowed, and dubiety could be seen on them.
All of a sudden, his phone rang. The technology department was calling to inform him that the repair
of the vehicle''s dashcam had beenpleted. "I''m sorry, but something came up. I have to go
now," Sean said to Vivian. Without waiting for her reply, he turned around to go to the technology
department. He had a far more important matter to deal with, so he did not bother to question Vivian
further.
He was in such a hurry to get the dashcam that he did not notice the change in her expression. The
moment he turned around, her body stiffened, and astonishment shed across her face.
