Estella was extremely excited because Janet agreed to take her to the Larson Group to see Brandon. She also began to think about what kind of questions she should ask Brandon later.
The truth was, she didn't even know what he looked like.
Even though Brandon was the Larson Group's CEO, he seldom showed up in public in the past. Even when he did and there were news covers, there were not many pictures of him.
He had only been seen in public more often after he got married to Janet.
Janet became a little worried when she saw the mysterious smile on Estella's face. So, she immediately reminded, "Let me make things clear. I'll only introduce you to him. I won't participate in your persuading him; you're going to have to do that yourself."
Estella held Janet's arm as she gently said, "I actually wanted to talk to both you and your husband. You just foiled my plans, Janet."
"Believe it or not, I can always break my promise and have no problem with it," Janet firmly stated. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes as she pretended to look threatening.
Estella quickly nodded. "I know. I'll behave, okay?"
Eventually, they arrived in front of the Larson Group's building.
Before they went inside, Janet looked at Estella and reminded, "Don't ask Brandon about his family affairs and his father. Those topics are taboo for him."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Estella pouted. "You're my friend, and Brandon is your husband. I'll treat him with the utmost respect; just like how I treat you. Besides, he's the Larson Group's CEO. There's no way I'd try to offend him."
Janet heaved a sigh. She felt relieved hearing that. She then took out her phone to check the time before she said, "I asked Sean just now. Brandon is still in the middle of an interview. We're probably going to wait for a while."
"I'll have time to collect some materials by then," Estella replied as she rolled up her sleeves and prepared her recorder pen.
"What are you going to do?" Janet couldn't help but ask. She had a bad feeling about that.
Estella put her arm around Janet's shoulder and flashed a mischievous smile as she pulled her close. "I'm going to take you with me while I interview the Larson Group's employees. Let's go!"
Janet facepalmed. She felt utterly helpless. It seemed like agreeing to let Estella come to the Larson Group was a huge mistake.
At that time, the interviews were being held inside the Larson Group's 16th floor.
With an upright posture, Vivian sat outside the meeting room. Among all the other interviewees, she was the one who stood out the most.
