Chapter 1287 Being Found Eavesdropping
Upon hearing Janet's scream, Brandon, who had been focused on eavesdropping at the door, grew nervous and burst in without thinking.
"What happened?"
Seeing Brandon enter aggressively, Mandy trembled with fear.
Frowning, Janet glanced at Brandon, who had suddenly rushed in, and then at Mandy, who was frightened by him. She discreetly winked at him, inquiring if he had something to say.
Brandon sat down beside Janet, still on guard, and shook his head, indicating he had nothing to say.
Janet motioned for Brandon to remain silent with her eyes. Then she turned to Mandy and asked patiently, "What do you want?"
Mandy did her best to suppress her fear and said, "I just wanted to tell you that even though I lost this time, I will definitely defeat you next time with my own abilities!"
Hearing Mandy's words, Brandon was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Mandy glanced timidly at Brandon, and remained silent.
However, Janet understood Mandy's intentions. She extended her hand to Mandy and smiled. "Alright, I'll be waiting for your next challenge."
Was Janet trying to reconcile with her?
Mandy was taken aback when she saw Janet's hand. Her prejudice against Janet had shifted.
Brenna often took Mandy to social events, where
she met proud socialite ladies who would cut ties over the smallest things.
Yet, as the lady of the White family, Janet was nothing like that. She was gentle and generous, appearing unfazed by her arrogance.
Although Mandy had changed her opinion of Janet, she didn't acknowledge it due to her haughty nature.
Pursing her lips, she snorted, deliberately not shaking hands with Janet, and turned to leave.
Seeing Mandy's refusal to acknowledge Janet, Brandon's expression darkened.
He wanted to stop her, but Janet shook her head at him, signaling him to let Mandy go.
Reluctantly, Brandon stepped aside but continued to glare at Mandy with blazing eyes.
His menacing gaze was intimidating.
Frightened, Mandy covered her chest and quickened her pace, fearing Brandon would drag her out if she moved too slowly.
No matter how handsome Brandon was, his demeanor was terrifying. It was a mystery how Janet managed to handle him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
It wasn't until Mandy left that Janet breathed a sigh of relief.
Mandy's departure was a relief, as dealing with her had been challenging.
Brandon hurried to Janet, looked her over, and asked with concern, "Did she bully you? Are you hurt?"
Amused, Janet shook her head and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Once assured that Janet was unharmed, a faint smile appeared on Brandon's face. He teased, "I'm your assistant now. I have to keep you safe all the time."
Janet smiled. "It seems you're already a competent
assistant."
Brandon straightened his back and nodded approvingly. "Of course, being an assistant is a piece of cake. Is there anything in the world I can't do well?"
Glancing toward the door, Janet joked, "You're indeed a professional assistant. You have sharp ears. As soon as you heard your boss's scream, you came rushing in."
For the first time, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Brandon's handsome face. "I just happened to pass by and heard it."
Raising her eyebrows, Janet said, "Are you sure you weren't eavesdropping at the door the whole time so you could break in and interrupt Mandy just in time?"
Brandon replied seriously, "It's my duty to protect you, boss."
With her head tilted to one side, Janet spoke in a serious tone. "A qualified assistant shouldn't eavesdrop on their boss."
