Chapter 588
Sean wanted to send her a message to let her know they were coming. After all, she had been very nice to him.
After a few moments of deliberation, Sean took out his phone and quietly typed a message. He wanted to inform Natalie beforehand.
“To whom are you sending messages? Why are you so wary?” Sean trembled as he heard Brandon’s calm voice. “Mr. Larson, why don’t you sit well on your seat?”
With one hand at the back of Sean’s seat, Brandon took the phone from Sean’s hand. He sneered as he stared at the message. He then sat back, keeping Sean’s phone with him.
The atmosphere at the new employees’ party in the restaurant was very pleasant. иσνєℓσչ They had fun playing games and drinking.
“Wait! Just now, Sean actually asked for the specific location of the party,” someone suddenly announced, interrupting everyone’s laughter. Do you think our boss is coming?”
“Is Mr. Larson coming? Should we order more food?” The food on the table had almost all been consumed, leaving only the leftovers.
No one was in the mood to play games anymore. They began to request that the waiters clean their table and serve more food.
“Why is Mr. Larson coming? He’s always been cold and distant. In fact, he is not particularly close to the employees,” an employee asked in confusion.
“You have too many questions, don’t you? I think it only shows how much he values us new employees,” a male employee t**sed. Everyone laughed.
Vivian sneered secretly and raised her glass elegantly to drink. Only she was aware that Brandon was coming for Natalie.
Vivian had just taken a picture of the man who was sitting at the same table as Natalie. She also noticed another woman sitting at the table. She seemed to be Natalie’s colleague.
She cast a glance in the direction of Natalie’s seat. At that moment, Elizabeth stood up and seemed to be going to the bathroom.
Vivian also stood up and followed her. She retouched her makeup in the bathroom.
After a while, Elizabeth came out of the cubicle to wash her hands. Vivian put down her l*pstick and walked past Elizabeth. The l*pstick in her hand was not covered, so it immediately left a visible red mark on Elizabeth’s white coat.
“Oh! I’m sorry. I forgot to bring the lid with me. I’m really so careless.” Vivian pretended to panic as she stared at the l*pstick stain on Elizabeth’s coat.
Elizabeth was embarrassed as well. She removed her coat and turned on the faucet, intending to wash the l*pstick stain. “It’s fine. I’ll handle it.”
“No way. Your coat looks expensive. Don’t worry. I will pay for it.” Vivian quickly reached out to help Elizabeth in cleaning the coat. But in fact, she was just making things worse. She kept w*etting the clean parts of Elizabeth’s coat. In the end, half of Elizabeth’s coat was w*et, as was her entire b*ody.
“I think we’d better ask the waiter to bring us a hair dryer,” Vivian said with an apologetic smile.
Elizabeth nodded helplessly.
Vivian smirked secretly. Brandon would have already arrived at the restaurant by this time, according to her estimation.
Brandon got off the car, and walked in with Sean, visibly enraged.
The employees of the Larson Group turned their gazes toward the door, eagerly waiting for Brandon. But to everyone’s surprise, he didn’t approach their table and just continued walking toward the back.
At this moment, Natalie was still arguing with Derek regarding the color of the clothes on the design draft.
Both she and Elizabeth believed that the clothes Derek usually wore at events were too flamboyant. They thought it would be better for him to wear something low -key this time. On the one hand, solid colors could accentuate Derek’s chiseled features. But on the other hand, it could diminish his natural personality and create a contrast.
“Clothes usually have a great influence on people’s appearances. Perhaps if you change your style, it could surprise your fans,” Natalie suggested. Unbeknownst to her, someone was walking toward them. She only noticed that someone was there when a shadow hovered over her.
She thought it was just Elizabeth who had come back from the bathroom. Just as she was about to make way for the latter, she looked up and accidentally made eye contact with Brandon.
“Honey!” Natalie was so startled that she knocked over her drink. Her reaction made it seem like she was guilty as Brandon caught her red-handed cheating on him.
Flustered, Natalie hurriedly cleaned up the table. “I was just talking to Derek about work,” she stammered.
Derek, on the other hand, was unfazed. He wiped the liquids off the table for Natalie with his napkin. Afterward, he shot Brandon a glance. “Mr. Larson, have a seat. I’m simply talking to Natalie about work. There’s no need to be so mad. Just have a look at her. She’s so scared that she’s trembling!”
“Derek, don’t make things even worse than it already is,” Natalie said through gritted teeth while glaring at Derek. This guy was always causing her trouble.
He shrugged at her remark and bantered, “What are you so mad about? I’m taking your side! Your husband is being too strict. Don’t you agree?”
“Call Derek’s manager and tell him to take this troublemaker away,” Brandon said to Sean, who was standing behind him.
Derek sprang to his feet and asked, “What? Why are you saying that I’m a troublemaker, Brandon? I can take care of myself just fine. There’s no need to call Wilder!”
Ignoring Derek, Brandon held Natalie’s hand and said, “Let’s go home.”
Feeling aggrieved, Natalie answered, “I don’t want to. I told you that I’d be working, right? Besides, Elizabeth is here, too.”
