After watching Garrett and Laney leave, Janet walked into the inpatient department carrying a chocolate hazelnut cake.
The door to Brandon's ward was half closed and Janet could hear the men inside having a conversation when she was at the door.
Brandon was talking very softly, and Janet strained her ears to hear the conversation.
"You can give Vivian an important position while I'm away. She is cautious and dedicated in her work. I'm sure she's also a good problem solver. She'll be able to help solve a lot of troubles," Brandon said in a meaningful tone.
"Mr. Larson, why did your opinion of Vivian change so quickly? Weren't you still guarding against her a few days ago?" Sean asked in confusion. He was shocked and couldn't figure out what Brandon was thinking.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in through the window, ruffling Brandon's hair.
Sean quickly walked over to shut the window and then turned around, asking suspiciously, "Mr. Larson, are you planning something?"
Brandon shook his head and explained calmly, "We spent a lot of time and effort investigating Vivian, but we still can't figure out her plans. I just thought we could give her a chance to slip up and give herself away."
Vivian had been working in the Larson Group for a while now, but Brandon had not given her many opportunities to learn about the primary operations of the Larson Group. He believed that Vivian could feel that he was sidelining her on purpose.
"Don't worry, Mr. Larson. I will do as you say. I will report to you timely or when a situation pops up. I'm sure that Vivian will show her true colors soon," Sean said respectfully as he sorted out the documents that Brandon had read. He then began to do his own work in silence.
The ward fell silent again as if the conversation had never happened.
However, the sound of something dropping to the floor came outside the door, and the noise caught their attention. Sean stood up vigilantly and strode towards the door, demanding firmly, "Who's eavesdropping outside?"
"It's me," Janet said awkwardly as she picked up the cake box and forced a smile.
She accidentally dropped the cake box on the ground as she became worried after seeing the serious look on Brandon's face during his conversation with Sean.
Sean and Brandon were stunned by her appearance.
However, Sean soon came to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and joked, "Mrs. Larson, were you listening in on us? You made me think that there were spies in the hospital."
