For a moment, the whole world seemed to cto a standstill. The large reception room was so silent that only the breathing of
its three occupants could be heard. The air was taut with embarrassment.
Lexi stopped midway through pushing the door open and froze. She didn’t expect to stumble upon such a scene behind the door.
“Ah!” Jscreamed as she cback to her senses.
She immediately pushed Brandon away, spun around and ducked behind the sofa, hiding her face. She felt so embarrassed!
She desperately wished that she could disappear right then and there!
She had never felt that much embarrassment in her entire life!
Brandon, too, was jolted back to his senses.ninjaHe coughed awkwardly and asked, “What’re you doing here, Lexi? I
thought I told you that I’d be the assistant today and that you could have the day off?” Lexi gulped and replied in a trembling
voice, “You did, but Sean. askedto chere. He... When he got your call, he thought there was an emergency, so he
askedto cand have a look... I didn’t expect...”

She didn’t expect that not only would there be no emergency, but also, that she’d interrupt Brandon and Janet.
Lexi felt helpless. She cursed Sean bitterly in her heart.
Upon hearing her reason for being there, both Brandon and Jrebuked
Sean in their hearts as well.
At that smoment, Sean, who was out on a date with Estella at the
amusement park, sneezed three times in a row.
As he gazed up at the sky, he couldn’t help but think about his boss, who had just called him. He thought of himself as an
outstanding assistant who hadn’t forgotten to get someone to attend to his boss’ issue whilst he was out on a date. He was quite
certain that he’d get a promotion and a raise.
After explaining herself, Lexi left as quickly as she could, scared that she’d be fired if she spent another second there.
Noticing that Jwas still hiding behind the sofa, Brandon couldn’t help but feel helpless. “You can cout now. Lexi’s gone.”
With her face still buried in her palms, Jremained crouched down behind the sofa, refusing to budge.

Brandon was amused, and chuckled, “How long do you plan on staying down there?”

Jresponded in a muffled voice, “Leavealone. I’m too embarrassed to cout.”
“Con, don’t be like that.” Brandon walked over and lifted her up. “She’s gone. Everything’s alright.”
Jflung herself into his arms and buried her head in his chest. “I feel so humiliated! How do I even face Lexi tomorrow?”
Brandon wasn’t too thrilled to have been interrupted by Lexi. Upon hearing Janet’s worries, he said to her bluntly, “Don’t worry
about it. If you think it’ll be too hard to work with her, you can fire her. I’ll get you a new assistant.”
Jquickly took a step back, out of his embrace, and said, “No way! Lexi only chere because she was worried about us.
She did nothing wrong.”
Brandon pinched her nose playfully and said, “Then don’t fire her. It’s your decision. All I want is for you to be happy.” Thinking
about what had happened today, Jsighed dejectedly. “Today’s been quite the day.”
Brandon couldn’t help but laugh. “Would you still liketo be your assistant next time?”
With a weak wave of her hand, Jsaid, “No, Mr. Larson. You’re fired.”
If she allowed Brandon to act as her assistant for a few more days, she was only going to run into more trouble.
It was right about sunset at this time. Brandon glanced at the clock on the wall, and smiled. “Well, it’s tto get off work. My
task is done. Let’s go home.”
As soon as Jheard the words “get off work”, she felt an immediate surge of energy. After tidying up, she took Brandon’s
hand, and the couple made preparations to head home.
As they were deciding what to eat for dinner, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
This took Jby surprise. After taking a closer look, she realized that it was Garrett, who she hadn’t seen for a long time.
