Chapter 1278 Brandon Lost


    The moment J encountered Mandy in Carly''spany, she intuitively grasped that Mandy


    would fail to meet Carly''s expectations for a designer.


    J hadid eyes on Mandy''s work, undeniably exceptional in its splendor and intricacy, but ill-


    suited to Carly''s grandmother''s humble demeanor. Thus, Mandy''s design style was bound to be


    inadequate for Carly''s satisfaction.


    J''s silence that day was an act of courtesy towards Mandy, a gesture to avoid the appearance


    of vengefulness, as their rtionship was strained by an underlying grudge.


    Direct confrontation risked creating an ufortable spectacle and might sway Carly''s choice— an


    oue J wished to avert.


    As a designer, J''s professionalism and integrity resonated with Carly.


    Despite her connections to the prestigious White family and her position as Mr. Larson''s wife, J


    defied Carly''s initial assumptions of arrogance and indifference.


    Through their conversations, Carly discovered J''s wless interpersonal skills and unwavering


    design expertise.


    This revtion softened Carly''s demeanor, and she warmly expressed her relief, "I''m so d to


    have such a skilled designer like you create clothing for my grandmother. I trust you''ll exceed my


    expectations."


    "Absolutely!" J replied, her face beaming with confidence.


    Presenting her prepared design sketches and materials to Carly, she suggested, "You can take

    these home for your grandmother to review. If she''s interested, we can discuss further."


    Noticing J''s thorough preparation, Carly nodded approvingly. "Alright, I''ll visit you another day."


    Having said that, she epted the documents, flipped through a few pages to ensure everything


    was in order, and stood up to leave.


    Meanwhile, Lexi was crouched by the door, eavesdropping intently. She nodded periodically and


    murmured, "I see."


    Consequently, she was caught off guard when the door swung open. She stumbled and tumbled


    awkwardly into the reception room.


    Two sets of eyes locked onto her.


    Scrambling to regain herposure, Lexi sheepishly grinned, "I was just... walking by ... Just


    walking by ..."


    With an amused smile, J apologized to Carly, "I''m so sorry, Mrs. Reed. My assistant can be a


    bit mischievous. I hope you don''t mind."


    Aware of her rudeness, Lexi apologized as well, "I''m sorry, Mrs. Reed. That was my mistake. I hope


    you can forgive me."


    Carly, in high spirits, brushed the incident aside.


    After Carly''s departure, J teasingly inquired, "Lexi, aren''t you supposed to be a professional


    assistant? What were you doing eavesdropping? I can''t imagine Sean ever doing something so


    unprofessional."


    Mortified, Lexi wished she could vanish.


    She earnestly apologized again, "Boss, I''m so sorry! My curiosity got the better of me. I promise not


    to repeat such foolishness!"


    J, not meaning to cause distress, waved her hand dismissively. "It''s fine. Don''t be so tense. I


    was just joking."


    Lexi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you,


    boss. But you predicted things so urately. Carly dide back to you for the design."


    Lexi had doubted J''s confidence earlier.


    As J sipped water, she simply said, "I''m a professional designer."


    Lexi''sughter bubbled up at J''s remark. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind.


    With Carly returning to J for another design, didn''t that mean Brandon had lost the bet between


    him and J?


    As a consequence of defeat, Brandon would have to serve as J''s assistant for a day.


    Oh! The thought of the distinguished CEO of the Larson Group trading ces with her as an


    assistant was almost too fantastical to fathom!


    The thought was staggering!


    Should she inform Sean beforehand so that Brandon could brace himself for the impending role


    reversal? Torn, Lexi wavered in indecision.
