Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1282

Janet had a helpless look on her face when she met Brandon's eyes. 'Do you see now that an assistant's work is not as easy as you thought?"

Brandon looked at the empty reception room and nodded. Not one client was in sight. "I indeed underestimated assistants," he acknowledged honestly.

Before, he thought working as an assistant wasn't challenging at all. He wasn't anticipating that even engaging with clients could be so tricky.

Many of Janet's clients only had an idea of what they wanted and no specific design requirements. More often than not, their ideas were vague concepts that were difficult to put into words, making it almost impossible to understand what they were looking for if you were not well adept with the trends.

As an assistant, part of the work was to give a complete picture of their vague concepts by dissecting each and every idea they had. That was the only way to make sure that the client and the designer were on the same page regarding the design and that the finished product would be a perfect work the client would be satisfied with.

The entire process could be incredibly complex and meticulous. If the assistant lacked patience or attention to details, it could lead to conflicts with the client.

Seeing that Brandon finally understood that even small positions could be challenging, Janet couldn't help but smile. "Now that you know how hard being an assistant is, don't make Sean's life too difficult from now on."

With a helpless nod, Brandon gave in, "You're right. I will be treating him better. Maybe I'll give him a day off."

A sense of relief spread on Janet's chest at the sight of the typically unapproachable CEO yielding from pressure. "Seems like you gained something from being my assistant. Now you know how to empathize with your subordinates," she said with a lighthearted tone, giving him a soft nudge on the shoulder.

Brandon chuckled softly at Janet's comment. He was amused by her tactics.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the studio.

Janet decided to let Brandon rest and attend to the client herself. If she let Brandon continue, her studio wouldn't run like it always did. Today would be too chaotic.

A tall slender man entered the studio. He looked well-off with his clean and crisp suit and handsome face.

"Hello," the man greeted. "My name is Jax Shaw." In addition to his good looks, he seemed polite too.
