When Janet walked to the restroom, she saw nobody was there. She breathed a sigh of relief and called Sean.
At the moment, Sean was carrying a pile of thick folders to be gone through by the executives for the year-end review. Without Brandon around, he was swamped with work in the Larson Group. Trying his best to look at the front through the gap in between the folders, he said, "Excuse me! Coming through!"
As soon as he moved the documents to his office, his phone rang.
"Mrs. Larson, what can I do for you?" Sean asked in surprise. It was strange for Janet to call him during work hours.
"Vivian is at W Marks now," she replied, rubbing her temples. "She is even pretending like she doesn't know that Brandon is in hospital."
Sean understood the situation at once upon hearing what she said. "Vivian isn't a simple character, but I didn't expect that she would come to you so soon. Just ignore her, Mrs. Larson."
"Don't worry. I have refused to cooperate with her and recommended that project to another colleague."
Deep inside, she pondered if Vivian was going to look for another chance since things didn't turn out the way she wanted.
"Cooperation? Is it the welfare house uniform project that Charis was previously in charge of? It has been suspended for quite some time now." Sean stroked his chin. The expression on his face changed slightly.
Vivian was such a crafty lady. If Brandon were to ask about it, she could keep herself out of trouble by saying that it was for the implementation of the project. What a perfect scheme!
After a moment's silence, Sean said, "I'll ask Mr. Larson about this. Mrs. Larson, please don't take any action for the time being."
"No," Janet refused immediately. She called him because she didn't want to disturb Brandon in the hospital. "Brandon is still recuperating. It's better not to tell him about it. I rang you up just to tell you that Vivian has started her move. I don't want your original plan to be spoiled just because of this."
Janet knew that Brandon and Sean had a plan in their mind. She had overheard their conversation at that time. Though she wasn't sure what exactly they were going to do, she still decided to lend a hand.
