Brandon raised his cold eyes and took a careful look at Vivian. He then nodded a little and flatly said, “Thank you for helping my wife.”
Those simple words made Vivian’s heart flutter. She could not describe what she was feeling. All she knew was that when he spoke to her, her b*ody went stiff and her mind blank.
This was the first time Vivian had seen Brandon in person. Although she had heard of him from Charis and sometimes saw him in the newspaper, his image was always blurry. It seemed that he deliberately hid from the public eye, which made him very mysterious.
Vivian slowly lifted her gaze and stuttered, “You’re- you’re welcome.”
At such a close distance, she could see Brandon’s perfect features and chiseled face. His cold and deep eyes were like two pits of bottomless wells. One could fall into them if they stared at them for too long.
Vivian could not help but clench her hands into fists. In her mind, Natalie was so lucky to have such a man as her husband.
“Vivian, you’re going to graduate soon, aren’t you? What are your plans for the future?” Natalie suddenly asked when she noticed the tense and awkward atmosphere.
It was then that Vivian came to her senses. She smiled at Natalie and answered, “Since I’m funded by the Larson Group, I’d like to work there after graduation. But I’m afraid that that dream will be very difficult to achieve, considering that I’m inexperienced and many outstanding people want to work there as well. I don’t even know if I’ll p@ssthe interview.”
It did not take a genius to know what she was implying. At this moment, Natalie looked at Brandon meaningfully and asked, “What do you think?”
She liked Vivian very much. She had heard that many students Larson Group funded had graduated from iv leagues. Vivian must be as excellent as them.
Brandon smiled at Natalie. But when his eyes fell on Vivian, they became cold and vigilant.
“Sean, go and arrange it.” He glanced at Sean, who was standing behind him, and looked back at Natalie. Suddenly, he pinched her cheek lovingly and asked, “Are you satisfied with my arrangement?”
Natalie nodded with a sweet smile.
Brandon looked at Vivian and coldly said, “Entering Larson Group is no easy feat. Make sure you do your best at all times.”
“Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Larson. I will try my best,” Vivian replied, her face beaming with excitement. Without further ado, Brandon turned to Natalie and said, “The charity party has begun. We should go in now.”
In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly overhead. As Vivian stared at Brandon and Natalie’s receding figure, a triumphant smile tugged at her lips.
Judging from Natalie’s attitude, she must be satisfied with her.
Meanwhile, Vivian was aware that Brandon must be in distress as he had lost his two most trusted partners— Garrett and Charis. After all, the latter was the one who took charge of the charity work before.
If Vivian could take over Larson Group’s charity work, Brandon would start to trust her.
At this moment, she picked up the candy bag on the ground, took a candy, and leisurely peeled its colorful wrapper.
But as she put the candy in her mouth, her sweet face changed, replaced by mockery.
“Natalie is just a loser. A nobody. She can’t even deal with a bunch of kids. How could she be the wife of Larson Group’s CEO?”
There were a lot of reporters at the charity party. All of them watched Brandon as he took Natalie’s hand and went to the stage.
At that moment, Brandon signed his name in public and approved the funding for the welfare house in the next quarter.
“Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Larson. Your kindness is admirable.” The director of the welfare house smiled as he held the huge check.
Before long, several important staff from the welfare house took a group photo with Brandon, including the director.
However, even with the multiple flickering camera lights, Brandon remained expressionless. He was always like that, especially when it came to work. Everyone admired him.
The smile on Natalie’s face reached her eyes, and she looked absolutely stunning. Tonight, all she needed to do was to be a decent wife for Brandon.
After Brandon gave his speech on stage, everyone gave him a thunderous round of applause.
“We want to take some photos of Mr. Larson, can we do that, Mrs. Larson?” Several children politely asked.
Natalie smiled as she nodded. Like everyone else, she stood beside Brandon and looked up at him.
When the event was over, the sun had already started to set.

Sean waited at the door until Natalie and Brandon went inside the car. As soon as they did, Natalie leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. The event today lasted for quite a long time. Not to mention, all eyes were on them, especially the reporters. That made her feel very tired. Now that it was finally over, she didn’t even have the energy to talk anymore.
Noticing that something was wrong, Brandon held her hand and asked, “Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Natalie opened her eyes and sighed. “I almost screwed up today.”
“I know about the matter.” Brandon said. “It has nothing to do with you.”
Natalie smiled and shook her head. “No, Brandon. I attended the event with you, but I screwed up and failed to publicize the Larson Group. On the contrary, I almost handed over something for them to slander you because of it.”
At that point, she was also blaming herself for not taking responsibility for playing her part.
Brandon went quiet as he looked into her eyes.
“I used to think that I could only be a designer because I like the feeling of gaining achievements in the things I’m good at,” Natalie said as she looked into Brandon’s eyes. “Just like you. Did I tell you how handsome you are today?”
Today, she finally understood why Brandon was always respected by other people.
Even she was shocked when she saw that all of the employees in the Larson Group and the welfare house were depending on him.
