Chapter 596

Only then did Brandon reluctantly agree to give Sean a leave. “Okay, just half a day.”

Natalie grinned.

“I will be busy this weekend, so I can’t go with you,” Brandon added. “If Sean attends the award ceremony, he can ensure your safety.”

Natalie’s eyes widened. After a few moments, she said, “He still has to work even though you already gave him a leave? How can Sean enjoy the party?”

“It is part of his duty. His annual salary is very high,” Brandon said slowly.

“How high? He works almost 24 hours a day. No matter how much money you give me, I will not do such work!” Natalie said firmly.

Brandon smiled and whispered something into her ear. Her eyes widened. “Do you still need an assistant like Sean in your company? I’m willing to be one.”

Brandon leaned back in his seat and shook his head with a smile. “You’re such a swindler. Let’s just enjoy our meal.”

After the company’s dinner party, Vivian requested a day off because she had some matters to attend to at home.

The following day when she went back to work at the Larson Group, she overheard her colleagues discussing something in hushed tones.

Using the chance to get some water from the tea room, Vivian approached them and learned that they were discussing a waitress who fell off the stairs at the hotel where they had dined the other night.

“It was the same waitress who served us the wine. I heard that she is still hospitalized with severe brain damage and may have difficulty waking up.” A woman with short hair seemed to have the inside scoop on the situation and was explaining it to everyone. “I heard that the hotel has generously compensated the waitress’s family, but I sense that it’s not as simple as an ordinary accident.”

“The waitress had an accident at the hotel. It’s only natural for the hotel to be humane and offer compensation. What’s so strange about it?” Vivian inquired calmly.

Other colleagues also sighed. “It’s just so tragic. The waitress is so young and now she’s lying in the hospital. And possibly will be unable to regain consciousness for the rest of her life! It’s such a shame.”

“How unfortunate!” Vivian echoed their sentiments with a look of pity on her face before leaving with her mug.

As she walked away, a cold glint shone in her eyes. If that waitress hadn’t bothered her that day, she wouldn’t have tripped and gotten injured. She deserved it by all standards! i

Vivian thought to herself, not feeling an ounce of remorse or guilt for what she had done.

Later, as Vivian made her way to the CEO’s office on the top floor to get a document signed, she ran into Sean at the door.

“Hi, Sean.” Vivian greeted Sean warmly.

Sean and Brandon were like two peas in a pod, and Sean was currently the person Brandon trusted and valued the most in the company. All the staff at the Larson Group held Sean in high regard.

“Hello, are you bringing a document for Mr. Larson to sign? Just give it to me. Mr. Larson is in a meeting at the moment.” Sean noticed the document in Vivian’s hand. Vivian flashed him a gentle smile and handed over the document. “Thank you, Sean.”

Sean took the document inside Brandon’s office. When he got back, he found that Vivian was still hanging around the front door.
