"She doesn't." Garrett frowned.
He was smart enough to guess what was going on in Charts' mind. "You better keep the secret to yourself -- don't tell it to Janet. Ethan doesn't want her to know that he is associated with the Larson Group. I think you know the consequences if you revealed his secret."
"Of course, I know. But he doesn't even want to reveal his true identity to that woman. Do you think he really loves her?" Charis sneered.
"Stay out of it. He has his reasons. You better stop meddling in this."
Just as Garrett turned to leave, he heard Charis ' sad voice. "I met him first! I have known him for many years!"
Looking at the pained look on her face, Garrett sighed helplessly.
"It doesn't matter who came first. Stop overanalyzing everything. You still have a lot of work today. Forget everything and move on. People can change a lot in three years. Stop staying in the past, Charis."
Garrett buttoned up his suit jacket, turned around, and left.
Charis stared into the distance for a long time and finally calmed down. Her mind was elsewhere.
She couldn't accept the fact that Brandon was married. Therefore, she tried her best to convince herself that she still had a chance with him.
Charis knew Brandon better than anyone else. She had known him since high school.
Considering he married Janet as Ethan Lester and didn't want her to know his real identity as Brandon Larson, Charis felt he hadn't really accepted Janet as his wife.
After all, Janet was just an ordinary employee of the company without any family background. She didn't deserve Brandon at all. As the CEO of the Larson Group, Brandon needed a wife who could match his status. Charis felt she was the ideal match for Brandon. Not only could she aid in the development of the Larson Group, but her family could also support Brandon.
