Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1041

Janet turned around when she heard someone calling.

It was Vivian. Vivian was wearing a neat silver gray suit and a pair of glittering black high heels, and she had her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was standing elegantly behind Janet when she called out to her.

Vivian walked towards Janet with a smile and said, "Mrs. Larson, why do you look so surprised? Did you not expect me to be here?"

She smirked to herself when she saw the confusion in Janet's eyes.

Janet did not expect Vivian to visit her all of a sudden. Besides, it was typically Tasha's job to receive the guests, and she would accompany them into the VIP room to wait if they came for Janet. This allowed time for Janet to prepare herself before meeting her guests.

Unfortunately, Tasha was taking her break in the tea room when Vivian arrived. As such, Vivian was able to catch Janet unprepared.

Janet made eye contact with Vivian and saw a slight glitter in her eye. She guessed that Brandon's plan must be going smoothly.

Janet smiled at Vivian and said bluntly, "Yeah, I didn't expect you to come, and I'm indeed a little surprised."

Just then, Elizabeth screamed. She trotted beside Janet and cheered, "The results are released. Tasha won first place!" "That's awesome! Tasha won first place despite this being her first time entering such competitions," a female colleague chimed in excitedly as she overheard Elizabeth.

"What are you talking about? Every designer in our studio is talented. I think Tasha deserves the champion!" another colleague echoed.

"You two keep your voices down. You'll scare the guest," Elizabeth reminded them kindly.

The young designers who heard the good news stood up one by one and took turns praising Tasha, joking and having a good time.

Janet glanced towards the tea room and found that Tasha hadn't come out yet. She turned to Vivian and said politely, "Excuse me, please give me a moment. I need to go and congratulate my friend for winning the prize. I'll be right back, so make yourself comfortable in the meantime."

To ensure their guests' comfort, W Marks Studio had placed many sofas and throw pillows in the hall.

Vivian gave a friendly nod and sat down on the sofa. Despite trying to look casual, the way she walked and sat down gave away her arrogance.

It was undeniable that Vivian and Charis were incredibly similar in this aspect.
