Chapter 654 Just A Couple On Paper


    Evening fell in Seacisco. The skies turned purple and blue, slowly covering the city in darkness, and


    the streetlights lit up one by one.


    J had been waiting outside the meeting room for a long time.


    She stared out the window nkly. Brandon''s strange behavior earlier kept reying in her mind.


    Suddenly, someone called her name from behind.


    "J!"


    J turned around and found Tiffany standing behind her.


    "When did you get back to Seacisco? And why didn''t you tell me you were here?"


    Tiffanyined, smiling yfully. She had only heard from her colleagues that J was back,


    so she came to see her as soon as she got off work.


    However, the second she saw J''s face, she instantly knew that something was wrong. "What


    happened? You look pale."


    J forced a smile. "I''m fine, don''t worry. I''m just waiting for Brandon."


    Sensing that J didn''t want to talk about it, Tiffany didn''t press her further. The two of them


    exchanged a few more pleasantries. Just as Tiffany was about to leave, J suddenly asked,


    "Has anything big happened in the Larson Group recently?"


    With pursed lips, J looked especially grim.


    Tiffany squinted slightly as she mulled over J''s question. Then she broke into a smile. "Yes,


    something did happen somewhat recently." "What?" J looked at her expectantly, her heart


    racing.


    Perhaps what Tiffany was about to say had something to do with the sudden change in Brandon''s


    character!


    "Well, we set up a branch in Barnes, and it''s been prospering. I also heard that Brandon ns to


    bring thepany to the northwest. That''s something big, isn''t it? Perhaps in the near future, the


    Larson Group''s branches will be all over the country! You''re so lucky you married such a capable


    man, Mrs. Larson!" Tiffany joked with a silly grin.


    J forced a smile, albeit bitter. The expectant look in her eyes clouded over.


    ******


    Even after Tiffany left, J continued to wait for Brandon. While she waited, many new employees


    passed by and looked at her strangely, wondering who she could be and what her business here


    was.


    J smiled bitterly.


    In the past, she never showed off the prestige that came with the title of "Mrs. Larson". But now that


    she was practically erased from Brandon''s life and nobody seemed to know that they used to be a


    loving couple, J felt suffocated.


    Still, she refused to leave. The night went on and her eyelids began to droop, so she leaned against


    the wall and almost fell asleep.


    Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she heard the sound of a door opening.


    When J opened her eyes, she found arge group of people walking out of the meeting room


    with Brandon.


    Brandon saw J standing at the door of the meeting room, so after exchanging a few words with


    several executives, he walked towards her.


    "Why are you still here?" Brandon thought he had already made himself clear earlier. Because he


    had no memories of J, he saw her advances as pestering and grew a little impatient.


    "Do you have time to talk now?" J asked, firmly standing in Brandon''s way.


    The man nced at his watch and frowned. "I have a full schedule tomorrow. I have to go to bed


    early tonight, but I suppose I can give you half an hour."


    Hearing the coldness in his words, J wished she could p him on the spot. Fortunately, she


    managed to suppress her anger and followed Brandon to the office quietly.


    It was already midnight, so his office was quiet and empty.


    He sank into his chair wearily and loosened his tie with his eyes closed.


    "What do you want to say? Just say it," he said with a trace of impatience.


    Without beating around the bush, J went straight to the point. "There are only us here now.


    I''ll ask you one more time, Brandon. What the hell happened to you? No matter what happened, we


    can solve it together!"


    Brandon opened his eyes, which were full of annoyance. "I already told you that nothing happened.


    There''s nothing I can do if you don''t believe me."


    J took a deep, shuddery breath. She couldn''t help but raise her voice as she spoke. "We were a


    loving couple justst week! But look at how your attitude is towards me now! How the hell can you


    expect me to believe that nothing happened?"


    It never urred to J that she and Brandon would end up like this.


    Brandon remained unfazed, his face expressionless.


    He had no idea how he and J used to act around each other.


    He only knew that J was head over heels in love with him, ording to Charis.


    Maybe their so-called loving past was nothing but J''s fantasy. He doubted he was ever loving


    towards her.


    "Miss White, I hope you''ll stop overthinking things. We''re still a couple and I''ll fulfill my duty as your


    husband." Brandon chose his words with great care and spoke slowly and emotionlessly.


    Staring at him quietly, tears started to roll down J''s cheeks.


    She couldn''t see any emotion in the man''s lifeless eyes. Brandon had be such a stranger that


    she couldn''t help but feel scared.


    She cried, "Brandon, are we just a couple on paper now?"


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Brandon frowned. The woman''s tears only served to make him more impatient.


    He stood up, gathered the documents on his desk, and said, "I''ve said what I needed to say. If


    there''s nothing else, I will leave first. I''m busytely, so I won''t go home. I''ll move to a ce near the


    company."
