Chapter 419: An Uproar In The CompanyJreturned to the Larson Group’s headquarters the next morning .She heard speople laughing inside the design
department. But the second they saw her cin, an ominous silence ensued in the room Everybody else in the office realized
that there was a tension in the room, so they all glanced at the door
“Hey! Shut up! Can’t you see that Jis here already?”
“Wait... Is Jthe one who’s secretly married to Mr. Larson?”
“Who else could it be?”
Jcould hear them whispering among each other, and they all sounded surprised.
Deciding to ignore them, she went to her seat and sat down as if nothing happened.
When Gerda saw Janet, she poked her head out and went to the latter’s seat Visibly excited, she said, “My queen! You’re finally
back! Everyone in the company is shocked to hear the news about you and Mr. Larson!” Jcould tell from the look on
Gerda’s face that the latter was excited.
Gerda had no idea either.
“When I arrived at the company yesterday, everybody was already discussing that you’re the CEO’s wife. Someone even took a
video of Mr. Larson chasing after you!”
When Jlooked around, the people inside the department fell into deeper silence. The air felt tense and it get worse with
every passing second.
The moment she entered the company building earlier, she could sense that people were looking at her differently Swere
curious, others were confused. But most of them were giving her a modicum of respect, and were cautious around her. It
seemed that the entire company already knew that she was Brandon’s wife.
“Everyone’s scared of you now!” Gerda declared as she looked around
Jburst into laughter.
“Why would they be scared? Do they think I’m going to bite their heads off or something?” Gerda winked at her and replied, “It’s
because of your conflict with Patty. It didn’t end well, did it? Didn’t you feel that everyone was keeping their distance from you at
“Of course, I did! Patty’s boyfriend is a department head of our company. I can understand why everyone chose to side with her,”
Jresponded.
It was difficult to keep healthy interpersonal relationships in the corporate world. In their world, any common fool who would go
up against someone who had connections, someone like Patty, would just be asking for trouble
“Well, that’s the point! Since you’re the wife of the boss, you’re completely different in everyone’s eyes now. They’re all nervous
around you, because they’re scared you’ll take revenge on them,” Gerda remarked with glee.
She wasn’t a sensitive person, and she had always been on Janet’s side. Thus, she wasn’t nervous around her. As a matter of
fact, this turn of events excited her. Jlowered her head and said, “I’ve already got a lot on my plate now. I don’t have tto
waste seeking revenge on everyone.”
Gerda pouted. “They just feel guilty. Putting that aside... What the hell, Lind? How could you hide the fact that you’re Mr.
Larson’s wife from us?”
A bitter smile appeared on Janet’s face. ‘How am I supposed to answer that question? I don’t even know the answer, myself.’
Although it was quiet in the design department, all eyes were on Janet. Just as she was feeling unsettled, someone gave her a
pat on the shoulder from behind.
“Lind, can I see you in my office?”
Tiffany stood behind Janet, crossing her arms. She looked as calm as ever, and she acted like she always did.
