Whatever the case might be, Janet was very excited to see that Allie had replied.
She immediately texted back to set up a meeting with her.
Seeing the excited look on Janet's face when she looked at her phone, Brandon narrowed his eyes at her in suspicion. "What's making you so happy? Did Draco text you?"
What a jealous bastard!
Janet deleted the message quickly and then stuck out her tongue at him.
She tapped on some unimportant message and held up her phone in front of him. "This store I'm interested in is having a sale. Now I can buy their clothes at a discount, so of course I'm happy!"
She smiled, lying through her teeth. Recently, because of Charis's death and Garrett's abrupt resignation, Brandon had been neck-deep in work. Janet didn't want to cause him any more trouble.
Brandon chuckled and ruffled her hair playfully. He didn't doubt a word she said.
In fact, before leaving for work, he even handed her a credit card so that she could go shopping to her heart's content.

Later that afternoon, Janet arrived at a restaurant actually owned by the Larson Group.
This was where she was going to meet Allie. She had been through too much to be careless and had learned to take every precaution when meeting people she didn't trust. This restaurant was run by the Larson Group, and some of the employees even knew her. Even if Allie wanted to hurt her, it would be difficult for her to do something and get away with it.
Half an hour later, Allie cautiously poked her head into the private room.
