Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 860

Brandon's image on the screen had suddenly stopped moving.

Janet had assumed that a bad connection from the hotel's internet was the culprit.

"Why is the internet so slow? I thought this was supposed to be a five-star hotel." She grumbled as she shook her phone, trying to get a better connection. That was when she saw Brandon's ears getting red.

"Brandon! You perv. You didn't even listen to me when I was talking about something serious and now that I'm taking a bath you're suddenly interested?" Janet shrank back in the bathtub, looking at Brandon with accusing eyes.

Brandon cleared his throat with a cough, but his eyes never strayed from her. "We've never tried this kind of video call before. It could be fun, don't you think?"

He couldn't help himself. This was the first time Brandon had seen Janet in such a seductive position.

His next words took on a bolder tinge. "Stand up and let me see," he ordered, his voice coming out in a low and smooth rumble.

Janet's skin heated up from embarrassment and heat. She hesitated for a moment, and then braced her hand on the edge of the porcelain bathtub, slowly rising from the water that hid her from his view.

Brandon's breath hitched. A little more and he would see all of her.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Boss! I have the materials you want."

The sudden intrusion broke the spell, leaving Janet flabbergasted. She immediately ducked back into the bathtub.

Brandon turned off his phone in one quick motion, and then nonchalantly leafed through the file in his hands as if his employee hadn't interrupted anything.

Sean heard a loud noise.

"What was that sound? Did something fall?" Sean cocked his head to the side as he placed the documents on Brandon's desk. He looked around but found nothing. There was only Brandon sitting casually on his chair. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss. But Brandon's eyes betrayed him, still bearing traces of panic.

Sean raised his eyebrows. It was uncharacteristic of Brandon to be so nervous.

But Sean wisely decided to refrain from asking. Without another word, he turned to leave. Just as he was about to step out of the room, Frank's words crossed his mind. He faced Brandon again and said, "Mr. Watson asked me to deliver a message. He told you not to worry. He'd do everything he could to find that pharmacist. Watch your health. If you feel like there's something wrong—"

But before Sean could finish, Brandon cut him off.

"What are you talking about?" His eyes were cold as he spoke, blatantly motioning towards the phone with his head.

He didn't want Janet to know that he was looking for the pharmacist. He knew she would worry.
