Vivian turned to face the glass window after hearing the conversation between her colleagues.
Janet was indeed sitting at the table by the window.
There was a pillar between the two tables. Vivian only saw Janet having dinner with a handsome young man. They were conversing and laughing. There seemed to be a very pleasant atmosphere between them.
"Why was Janet born so different from us?" sighed the female colleague, sipping the orange juice in her glass. I heard that Mrs. Larson used to work for the Larson Group. At the time, she already knew Mr. Larson. They were dating secretly. Others didn't realize it until they get married. Mrs. Larson is now a well-known fashion designer. I guess she meets a lot of handsome men every day."
"How did you hear these rumors?" "Janet is the daughter of the White family, which is a wealthy family and has been the most powerful in Barnes for many years," someone said with a smile. "I've heard that their marriage is a marriage of convenience so Mr. Larson can expand his business in Barnes."
They made exaggerated remarks about Janet and Brandon's marriage.
Only Vivian knew that Janet was nothing but a poor woman who rose to noble status through marriage. Charis told her that Janet was an orphan and got bullied by her adopted family.
"Let's eat. The food has been served." Vivian stopped her colleagues' gossiping by pretending to speak for Janet. "We better be careful. Mrs. Larson is most likely having dinner with the male model for business reasons."
"But isn't it inappropriate to be so intimate with a model she works with? There has already been rumors about her having an affair with Draco, the boss of the W Marks Studio," the energetic female employee couldn't help but say.
"You are right. Mrs. Larson should know how to avoid arousing suspicion." Vivian smiled meaningfully. "They are, after all, public figures. She should really consider Mr. Larson's feelings."
The rest of the group didn't say much anymore because the food they ordered had just been served.
Their entire attention was focused on the dishes on the table, except for Vivian, who was still looking in Janet's direction.
This was her perfect opportunity. Brandon, no matter how kind he was, would be disappointed if he learned that Janet was seeing another man behind his back.
