Chapter 1033 New Challenges


    "What''s the mean of this?" Brandon asked with a nk look.


    Garrett cleared his throat and sheepishly scratched his head. "So here''s the thing. The Harding


    Group finished recruitment just a few days ago. The candidates weren''t exactly suitable for the


    Harding Group, but I think they will fit in the Larson Group nicely. I suggested for them to apply for


    an interview with yourpany, and those youngsters were also keen on the idea. I wanted to


    rmend them directly to you. Of course, I''ll dly vouch for their eligibility."


    Brandon nced at the list of names, his eyes narrowing. These people were quite famous, being


    the most popr neers in the industry.


    A faint smile touched his lips. "I''ll take this list for review," he said somewhat cautiously. "I''ll consider


    your rmendation."


    Garrett always had a good eye for people. As such, he rarely recognized someone to be truly gifted,


    no matter how famous they were. Once he did, it only meant that person was truly remarkable.


    "Ah, you''re willing to give it a shot?" Garrett looked relieved. In truth, he had been afraid that


    Brandon would take his gesture in a bad light and reject the offer.


    Brandon only nodded casually.


    Garrett grabbed a chair and gingerly sat in front of Brandon. He rubbed his palms against his


    trousers, hesitating for a moment before speaking again. "I didn''t really expect you would ept it.


    You didn''t trust me before, after all."


    He hadn''t forgotten how Charis had driven a wedge between him and Brandon.


    "Nonsense. It''s been so long; why are you still hung up about that? You''re going to be a father soon.


    You should stop being so narrow-minded." Brandon folded the list and tucked it inside his pocket. "I


    do remember how you''ve contributed to the development of the Larson Group thesest two years."


    "Do you really remember?" Garrett asked, his voice thick with emotion.


    J had mentioned that Brandon was slowly recovering his memories, but he didn''t let himself


    believe it.


    Now that Brandon had said so himself, a wave of relief washed over him.


    The Brandon he knew and admired, the friend who had worked hard alongside him, was finally


    coming back.


    The two men stared at each other, and the tension gradually eased as they both broke into a smile.


    Even so, they couldn''t put their feelings into words. They could only look at each other in


    embarrassed silence.


    Garrett stood and walked around the ward, his eyes darting toward the door. "I wonder why our


    wives aren''t back yet."


    Brandon nced at him and raised an eyebrow. "They''ve only been out for a few minutes. They


    shouldn''t be back for quite some time."

    Meanwhile, at the cafe, the dessert and beverages that J had ordered were just being served.


    "Here, try this," she said to Laney. "This is their new specialty."


    It was a small red velvet cake decorated with a chocte bow. For their drinks, they had each


    ordered an oat milktte.


    Laney cut a corner of the cake and put it in her mouth. "Oh, it''s divine."


    She took a couple more bites in less than a minute. Laney had grown fond of sweet thingstely.


    "I''m happy you like it. I''ll have the waiter pack a few boxes to go, so you can take some home."


    J immediately waved the waiter over and asked him to pack up a slice of every cake they had


    in the store. "But will Vera be okay with you eating so many desserts?" J asked btedly.


    Laney paused and said, "Since Garrett and I already moved out, his mother can no longerment


    on how I spend my days. Although, she has beening to our house more oftentely. She''s


    probably nning to persuade us to move back. She kept crying and whining to Garrett, and even


    had someone follow us."


    "What? This is too much!" J was worried about her friend. She had initially thought that once


    Laney left the Harding residence, she and Garrett would have an easier life. Instead, however, it


    seemed that Laney was facing a new set of challenges altogether. Laney sighed mournfully. She


    pressed her lips together and nced pointedly behind her. "See those people two tables away?


    Vera hired them to trail me. She thought that I wouldn''t notice if she changed the spies every two


    days."


    J could tell that Laney felt helpless about the situation.


    "Maybe if I hadn''t worked as a bodyguard before, I would never have noticed at all. I may not be


    able to move as quickly as I used to, but my senses are just as sharp as before. What kind of


    professional bodyguard would I be if I lost my skills just because I''m pregnant? s, I''m afraid I


    have no choice but to put up with it."


    "You can''t put up with it forever," J said, frowning. "Are you going to tolerate Vera''s antics for


    the rest of your life?"
