Chapter 1039 Vivian''s Promotion


    J fell asleep in Brandon''s arms, and when she woke up, it was already morning. She opened


    her eyeszily and saw Brandon standing with his back facing her.


    Brandon was typing away on his phone with his slender fingers.


    Numerous texts were sent back and forth, and finally, he switched off his phone and returned to


    bed.


    Brandon wrapped his arms around J''s petite body.


    "Who were you texting? Is there an emergency in thepany again?" J asked sleepily while


    rubbing her eyes. She finally understood how busy Brandon was as the head of the Larson Group,


    having been by his side for just a few days.


    "It''s Sean. He told me that the n had just begun," Brandon said softly as he held J tightly and


    buried his head in her hair.


    J''s warm and sweet fragrance prated his nose, and his fingers wandered under the covers,


    brushing against her naked skin.


    "Stop it. A nurse ising in to take your temperature soon," J snorted as she held his hand


    and kissed his cheek.


    "Do you still remember what happenedst night?" Brandon flipped over effortlessly and pressed


    himself against her body. He then bent over and kissed her on the neck.


    J tried to push his tight shoulders away as she said shyly, "I don''t know what you''re talking


    about." Brandon bit her smooth shoulder yfully and joked, "You''d better be careful when the


    nursees in. She''ll definitely ask why you didn''t open the doorst night."


    "You are the patient here. So, wouldn''t the nurse ask you instead of me? But if she really asks me


    why then I''ll tell her it''s because you were in top condition yesterday," J refuted defiantly. After


    all, Brandon''s performancest night indeed showed that he was healthy enough.


    J slipped out of Brandon''s arms. She got up and put her clothes on. She then threw the hospital


    gown to Brandon''s face and said, "Put your clothes on. You look so tardy."


    "I can''t do it. My hands are too weak," Brandon pouted as he threw his hospital gown aside and


    looked at J with a goofy grin.


    J pursed her lips and hurriedly tidied herself up before involuntarily helping Brandon with his


    hospital gown. Before she finished buttoning up the hospital gown, a rhythmic knock sounded on


    the door.


    "Mr. Larson, are you up? I''ming in to take your temperature and give you your medicine."


    A hint of panic shed through J''s eyes. However, Brandon remained calm and said in a low


    voice, "Open the door. I''ll get dressed by myself."


    J was worried that the nurse might suspect something was wrong, so she hurriedly went to


    open the door.


    The nurse came in and took Brandon''s temperature professionally. She then asked nkly, "Were


    you not in your roomst night, Mr. Larson? I couldn''t record your temperaturest night, which


    made it difficult for us to exin to the doctor."


    "Oh, I''m sorry about that. If there is any trouble with the doctor, please direct him to me," Brandon


    said gently as he stole an affectionate nce at J, who was hiding behind the nurse.


    Catching Brandon''s gaze, J jerked her head down guiltily, and her cheeks were flushed red,


    spreading to her ears.


    "I''m going out to get some breakfast for us," she said hurriedly and disappeared quickly from the


    ward.


    ******


    After Sean had announced that Brandon had gone abroad for a meeting, all the employees in the


    Larson Group stopped gossiping that something awful had happened to their boss anymore.


    One day, Vivian was having lunch with her colleagues when she received a notice from Sean for the


    first time, informing her about a meeting. Being very sensitive to sudden changes, she immediately


    sensed something was wrong. She recalled her actions and felt that she had executed her ns


    wlessly. She couldn''t figure out why Sean had to hold a one-on-one meeting with her.


    Were her schemes discovered?


    Vivian pushed open the meeting room door warily and saw that Sean was already sitting upright


    and waiting for her. He met her eyes and greeted, "Hi, I''m sorry to bother you during your lunch


    break."


    "It doesn''t matter," Vivian said with a smile as she sat down, subconsciously clenching her fists.


    "I would need you to hand over your current projects to your coworkers, please," Sean said matter-


    of-factly as he pushed a document to Vivian. "Excuse me? What do you mean?" Vivian asked in


    bewilderment. She quickly lowered her head and tried to hide the panic in her eyes. "Is Mr. Larson


    firing me?" she asked in confusion.


    Sean gave Vivian a mysterious smile, making it difficult for Vivian to guess his intentions.


    He continued observing her silently for a moment to build more suspense before exining,


    "Actually, you have nothing to fear. Mr. Larson asked me to hand over some bigger projects to you.


    He thinks that the current projects you''re handling are a waste of your talents. Besides, you


    mentioned during your interview that you''d like to make contribution to thepany. So, Vivian, Mr.


    Larson has given you a chance to prove yourself. I hope you will cherish it."


    Vivian stared cautiously at Sean as she opened the file he gave her with trembling hands. After


    reading the details, it seemed that the project was what Charis was responsible for in the past.


    Vivian was both surprised and shocked. Every step that Brandon had taken was out of her


    expectations, and people were always afraid of things they couldn''t control.


    Vivian couldn''t help questioning, "Why is Mr. Larson putting so much faith in me all of a sudden?"


    After thinking for a while, Sean replied honestly, "To be honest, I can''t figure out what Mr. Larson is


    thinking either. But Mr. Larson thinks you are smart. Do you still remember the rumor about Mr.


    Larson being hospitalized? That rumor is actually true. He had gotten into an ident and had to


    be hospitalized. However, he is still secretly keeping tabs on thepany these past few days. He


    probably saw your devotion to thepany and believed you are qualified for the job. By the way,


    Miss Turner used to be in charge of this project. Since she... Anyway, you can direct any questions


    to me."

    "Please help me thank Mr. Larson for the opportunity," Vivian said with a hint of skepticism. She felt


    uncharacteristically timid today.


    As Sean noticed the suspicion in Vivian''s tone, he quickly came up with another story to dispel her


    suspicion. "You should be thanking Mrs. Larson instead. She seems to like you very much. She said


    that you were a person of action, and you know how Mr. Larson always values her opinions."


    After saying his piece, Sean nced at his watch for the time and excused himself.


    Vivian thought that Sean''s words were reasonable. After all, J was just an idiot in her eyes who


    would trust people easily. She felt lucky that she had tried her best to win J''s trust before, and


    now it came in handy.
