At the CEO's office of the Larson Group.
The Larson Group's stock price had fluctuated over the past few days. Now that the situation was favorable for the Larson Group and its stock price had more than recovered, Ethan decided to seize the opportunity to put more pressure on the Lester Silk Fabric.
Garrett hadn't slept properly in the past three days, dealing with the bad press. He was yawning sleepily when Ethan's phone pinged.
"Someone texted you." When he saw the name on Ethan's phone's screen, Garrett snickered. "It seems your wife's missing you."
Ethan smacked Garrett on the back of the head and grabbed the phone. Instantly, his expression darkened when he read the text.
"What is it? Why's your face like that?" Garrett asked seriously, the smile wiped from his face.
"Janet's asking Brandon out for dinner." Ethan put his phone down and sighed. "If I refuse, she'll be very disappointed."
Garrett leaned back with his hands clasped behind his head. "Yeah. You can't have dinner with Janet without her seeing your face. Last time, when you and Janet went to the company's masquerade ball, you almost exposed yourself. It'd be unwise to take such a risk again. It's not good for my heart either," he sighed.
Ethan frowned and started typing out a brisk reply.
"Thank you, but there's no need for you to treat me to dinner. You're an employee of the Larson Group. I helped you to protect the reputation of the company."
Janet read his message and quickly replied, "But Mr. Larson, you could've just dismissed me."
