Brandon answered the phone. As soon as he heard what the caller had to say, he stood up from the sofa angrily.
"How did this happen? Where's the technician on duty tonight?"
Janet wanted to say something, but then she stopped on second thought.
She could tell that Brandon was having a hard time running the company all by himself.
Garrett and Charis, the two senior executive members of the Larson Group, no longer worked there. Brandon hadn't found any reliable replacements to take over the important issues of the company. Brandon had to bounce between the head office and the branch office these days, yet he still managed to spare some time to be with her.
Thinking about this, Janet held back what she wanted to say.
"What happened?" she asked with concern.
"Nothing to trouble you with. I've asked the technician to take care of it." After putting the phone down, Brandon sighed wearily.
When he turned to look at Janet, his expression softened and he pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry. I'll investigate who did this. And I'll assign more bodyguards to you."
Janet sighed, nestled in Brandon's arms. Being this close to Brandon made her feel inexplicably safe and relaxed.
"Don't worry too much about this, okay? I have a feeling that whoever's behind this will definitely strike again. In fact, I look forward to seeing her."
No matter who was after them, Janet was sure that she could handle it.
Even if it was really Charis's ghost who had come back to haunt her, she wasn't afraid. After all, she didn't do anything wrong. What would she be afraid of?
Hearing this, Brandon thought that Janet just meant that she didn't want any bodyguards around her.
He knew that Janet liked keeping a low profile. It was only natural she didn't want to be followed, especially to her workplace.
