"Who is this?" Clyde gave Brandon a confused look as if he didn't actually know him.
Walking up to Brandon, Janet intimately clung her arm around Brandon's and introduced him to Clyde. "This is my husband, Brandon Larson."
Then, with her usual grace, she introduced Clyde to Brandon. "This is Clyde Lambert, the artist who photographed Hannah."
Brandon looked at Clyde and smiled provocatively. "I know."
Janet gazed up at him in surprise. "You know Mr. Lambert?"
Brandon glanced at Janet and immediately, his smile turned fond. "I remember all the men who try to get close to you."
Janet's face heated up all of a sudden. She gave Brandon a gentle punch and pouted, "What are you talking about?"
The scene before him was too sweet that Clyde clenched his teeth as jealousy engulfed him.
What an arrogant man Brandon was! How could the man just show up when Janet and he were still dating!
He endured his displeasure, reeled it in, and calmly stood up before extending a hand to Brandon. He flashed a smile. "Hello, Mr. Larson. I've heard so much about you."
For a few seconds, Brandon simply stared at Clyde coldly. Finally, he shook hands with him and smiled indifferently. "Hello, Mr. Lambert."
The two of them just held each other's hands, looking square into each other's eyes with fake smiles plastered on their lips.
It didn't take Janet long to sense that something was wrong.
With a provocative smile, Clyde said, "Mr. Larson, you seem to be worried about me staying with Mrs. Larson. I was merely discussing the designs of Hannah's clothes with her. You can rest assured."
In his eyes, Brandon was just a businessman who knew nothing about art and design.
He thought that Brandon didn't understand Janet's work and that was why Brandon was so hostile to him.
