Chapter 1348 What Is He Busy With


    J lingered in the office for half an hour until darkness had fully settled. It was already past the


    usual hour when Brandon woulde to pick her up, but there was still no message from him.


    Finally, unable to contain her anxiety, she bit her lower lip and sent him a message. "Have you


    made it home yet?"


    Brandon replied swiftly, "Not yet. I have something to take care of."


    His tepid response left J a touch frustrated as she put down her phone. Almost immediately,


    however, Brandon sent another message. "Aren''t you home yet?"


    The unexpected concern lifted her spirits. "No. I just finished work. Are youing to get me?"


    Brandon replied with an indifferent tone, "I don''t have the time. I''ll send Sean to pick you up."


    His cool response extinguished her budding excitement once more.


    Sean arrived shortly, ensuring J''s wait was brief.


    Observing the familiar car pull up to the curb, J felt no happiness. She greeted Sean and


    climbed into the vehicle.


    Sean, having served Brandon for a significant period, had developed a knack for reading people''s


    moods. The moment J entered the car, he noticed her expression was quite troubled.


    His heart gave a tiny lurch. Just as he was about to feign obliviousness by turning his head, his


    gaze locked with J''s.


    J lifted her eyes to Sean, asking quietly, "Has


    the Larson Group received a major order recently?" Sean shook his head. "No."


    "Has the Larson Group run into any problemstely?" After careful consideration, Sean shook his


    head again. "No, thepany''s trajectory is smooth, with no new expansions nned. Mrs. Larson,


    may I ask why you asked that specific question?"


    "Nothing in particr." J looked out of the window, taking in the rapidly passing scenery.


    If it wasn''t work that kept Brandon so busytely that he barely had time to get in touch with her,


    what could it be?


    Was it as Lexi had suggested? Had Brandon taken a mistress?


    The thought sent a pang through her heart.


    The notion of Brandon caressing and kissing another woman was unbearable. Such a reality would


    devastate her.


    But would Brandon stoop that low?


    All kinds of thoughts whirled in her mind. J tried to reassure herself not to overthink, but the


    ominous notions had taken root, sending her into a state of panic.


    What if it was true?


    What if Brandon really had taken a mistress?


    The mere thought forced her hand to her chest, a sharp ache resonating in her heart.


    Sean had been covertly studying J. Seeing the pallor of her face, he sighed inwardly.


    He was aware that his boss had been neglecting J recently, but the reason eluded him.


    So, even though he wanted to console J, he was at a loss for words.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Having escorted J home with utmost care, Sean promptly dialed Brandon and ryed their


    entire conversation.


    Meanwhile, in a ndestine club, Brandon let out a soft sigh upon hearing Sean''s report. "It''s okay.


    I''llfort her when I get back."


    After ending the call, Brandon massaged his temples wearily. Seated across from him, Frank


    arched his eyebrows and quipped, "Who''s managed to ruffle your feathers? J?"


    "Sean mentioned she was in low spirits," admitted Brandon.


    Frank, in a teasing tone, asked, "What''s the matter? Did you upset her by not getting home on


    time?"
