Chapter 185 Masquerade Ball


    It took half a day to take a bullet train from Snape to Seacisco. Snape was a prominent city that was


    still under construction, so property prices were much lower than that of Seacisco. In a word, Snape


    had promise in terms of development. It''d be good if Christopher worked as a department director of


    thepany in Snape.


    Although it meant that he couldn''t work in thepany headquarters, it was still a promotion. J


    sincerely thought this was a good thing. In her eyes, the Larson Group was giving him a chance to


    achieve his full potential.


    "It''s all so sudden. I didn''t know it wasing at all. The HR department told me just yesterday that


    Mr. Larson himself gave the order." Scratching the back of his head, Christopher looked down at


    J anxiously. It seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.


    "What? Really?" As soon as J heard that Brandon was behind this, she pricked up her ears.


    Christopher nodded. To his surprise, J frowned deeply, as though she was thinking about


    something.


    J wasn''tpletely certain, but there were just too many coincidences between Ethan and


    Brandon.

    Otherwise, why else was Christopher suddenly being transferred to a remote office all of a sudden?


    She knew better than anyone else that Ethan wanted to put as much distance between Christopher


    and her as possible. J suspected that perhaps Ethan asked Brandon to do this.


    If Ethan could persuade Brandon to transfer the employee of the Larson Group, what did that say


    about the rtionship between the two men? Could Brandon value Ethan enough to follow his


    requests?


    "Honestly, I''m not too happy about the promotion. I don''t want to move to another city." Christopher


    tightened his grip around the carton in his hand. He stared at J for a long time withplicated


    emotions.


    When he first learned about his transfer, his knee-jerk reaction was to refuse. But after calming


    down and weighing the pros and cons, he decided to take the promotion. He figured that it would be


    better this way. He had no future with J anyway.


    If he stayed away from her long enough, maybe one day his infatuation with her would die down.


    "Snape isn''t that different from Seacisco. It''ll take some getting used to, but I''m sure I''ll be fine."


    Unable to find the words to respond, J pretended to ignore what he said. "Chris, let me see you


    off."


    J still kept Ethan''s warning in mind. Now that she couldn''t invite Christopher to dinner, she


    could only say goodbye to him.


    She apanied Christopher until he hailed a taxi. As she walked back to her desk, she mulled


    over the rtionship between Ethan and Brandon once again.


    The more convinced she was of her theory, the more she wanted to find some evidence to prove it.


    But even if it turned out to be true, she didn''t know what to do.


    When she arrived at her desk, only then did she realize that the entire design department was in a


    state of chaos. Everyone was talking about something excitedly.


    When Gerda saw her colleague''s questioning look, she excitedly showed J the notice in the


    chat group. "Lind! Look at the notice!"


    It turned out that the Larson Group was going to hold a masquerade ball as a reward to the


    employees. What caught J''s attention was that Brandon was also attending the party.


    This was the perfect opportunity!


    If J could take Ethan with her to the ball, that''d put the two men in the same room. That way,


    she might get a chance to figure out their rtionship.
