The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 618 “Of course, Mr. Larson. I'll do it right now.” Just when Sean was about to leave, he heard Brandon call him. He stiffened and carefully turned around as he asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Larson?” He knew he couldn't avoid it.

Brandon silently looked at Sean for a few seconds before he replied, “Since you've worked forfor all these years, | won't punish you too much this time.” “What...” Sean trailed off. It took him a while to react. Just then, his eyes widened in surprise and he couldn't help but smile. “Mr. Larson, you remember!” “Only temporarily, though. | don’t know if something unexpected will happen in the future.” Brandon withdrew his gaze from Sean and continued to read the documents that he was holding.

“But | know you'll be fine since you're such a good man! | just knew everything would turn out fine!” Sean excitedly wiped his tears.

Brandon frowned. He couldn't bear to see a grown man cry. “Don’t cry. | still have to deduct your bonus for half a year and give it to charity as punishment for your carelessness.” Sean's eyes widened in shock. It didn’t take long for him to feel dejected. “That's a little too much, Mr. Larson...” “It’s just a small punishment for you.” Brandon coldly shifted his gaze back at Sean. “Also, don’t mention my injury in the company. If our shareholders and partners ask, tell them that I'm on a business trip abroad.” “Will do.” With that, Sean obediently left.

The next day, he went to work as usual. Brandon told him that he only needed to send the documents to the hospital for him to review and sign after work.

The news that the Larson Group's helicopter appeared at the scene of the accident spread like wildfire.

All of the staff in the company began discussing it, which made people panic.

Since Brandon didn’t cto work the next day, the news spread, and it made people more and more worried.

By the tSean gave the tasks to each department director, he heard several of his colleagues discussing something when he passed by the 10th floor.

“Did you hear? Mr. Larson didn’t cto work. | heard he was the one who had an accident a few days ago.” “I can’t get any other information on what happened. | don’t know what's going on with Mr. Larson. The media outlets aren’t saying anything. They just completely avoid mentioning it.” “Maybe the situation is serious. I'm afraid that Mr. Larson died in that car accident. If that’s the case, the Larson Group currently doesn’t have a CEO.” Just when Sean was about to walk up to his colleagues and scold them, Vivian stood up. Her tone was stern as she exclaimed, “No gossiping during work hours! Jack, | asked you to redo the plan the other day, right? | want to see it now.” Since everyone was intimidated by Vivian, they looked down and didn’t dare talk about the issue anymore.

Noticing that she was being too harsh, Vivian quickly softened her tone and said, “If you spread rumors like this, it will only increase the burden on Mr. Larson and the Larson Group. | think you all know that.” After being scolded by Vivian, the employees were too embarrassed to raise their heads and look at her.

“If you understand now, get back to work then,” Vivian ordered. With the document in her hand, she turned around to leave. But before she could take a step, a female employee voiced her dissatisfaction.

“We've just finished our work and were just getting a glass of water. We heard that something might've happened to our boss. As employees of the Larson Group, we're worried about him and the company. Are we not allowed to talk about it and express our concern?” As someone had taken the initiative to speak out their apprehension, everyone else straightened up and began arguing with Vivian.

“Yeah! We were just chatting. Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?” a male employee argued. “Did we do something wrong? Is it already a sin to speak?” another female employee retorted, “Don’t think you can take over just because Mr. Larson isn’t here!” The female employee must have been shocked by Vivian's stern words that her eyes were red and brimming with tears.

“What... Are you kidding me?!” Vivian restrained herself from further reprimanding them. She closed her eyes and breathed out. Once she calmed down, she looked at everyone and seriously said, “I just hope all of you follow the rules of Larson Group.” The employees spoke at the stime, expressing their discontent. Vivian had had enough of it. But since she was outnumbered, she could only give in. “You can do whatever you want; just make sure you finish your work.” Just when the employees thought they had won, Sean entered and joined the conversation. “Mr. Larson may not be in the company, but you can’t just talk about him like that, much less spread baseless rumors. Have you forgotten that Vivian is your superior? You should all listen to her.” “Sean, we just don’t want to be misunderstood,” an employee replied.

Everyone knew that Sean was chill and easy going. Seeing him so serious right now made everyone realize the gravity of the matter.

“Why don’t you do your job during work hours and gossip when you get off work? For your information, Mr.

Larson is just on a business trip. And yet, you're all speculating that he’s hospitalized because of a car wreck.

Stop spreading rumors, okay?” Sean snapped loudly.

Now that their question had finally been answered, everyone finally stopped speculating.

“We're relieved to know that Mr. Larson is fine. We were just worried about him as we saw on the news that the company’s helicopter appeared at the scene, so we thought...” The employee who just spoke trailed midsentence and then continued, “Anyway, now that you've refuted the rumor, we can finally be at ease.” Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Sean checked the ton his watch and dismissed everyone. “All of you, get back to work now. Mr. Larson left the country yesterday via helicopter. To set things straight, the accident on the highway has nothing to do with Larson Group. If anyone spreads groundless rumors again, they will be fired immediately.” “Got it.”
