Natalie watched the scene, biting her lip so as not to laugh, but it was a losing battle. Her face was red from holding back her laughter.
Natalie lifted her chin towards Brandon and questioned with a smile, “Mr. Shaw, why don’t you take a closer look at him?”
Upon hearing that, Jax took a careful look at the man before him.
His expression changed all of a sudden and he could not help stutter, “Mr… Mr. Larson?”
He never imagined that the small-time assistant before him could actually be the CEO of the Larson Group, Brandon, the man who could make the entire city shake in fear from just a glance.
He had heard of rumors about Brandon’s love and fondness for his wife, but he never imagined that he would love her enough to be her assistant.
Recalling how he had just tried to scout Brandon to be a model for his agency, Jax wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in the ground from embarrassment.
Raising his eyebrows, Brandon sneered, “So, Mr. Shaw, do you still need me to model for you? I can still be your model, but I’m not sure if you can afford my salary.”
Jax forced a smile and replied in an embarrassed tone, “Mr. Larson, that…
that was just a Joke.”
Suppressing her laugh, Natalie teased, “Mr. Shaw, didn’t you just say that he would make a great model, why are you suddenly not interested in hime” “It was really a joke.
Please forget it!” Jax let out an awkward laugh, handed over a business card to Natalie, and fled as fast as lightning.
Before he left, he shouted, “Miss White, if you ever need a model, don’t hesitate to give me a call!” Brandon glared at Jax’s retreating figure.
Did Jax really try to hire him, the CEO of the Larson Group, as a model? It was so ridiculous that people might want to laugh their heads off if they heard of it.
Natalie saw Brandon’s anger and tried to appease him.
“Jax only took one look at you and was immediately smitten with your appearance that he was so eager to scout you as a model.
Do you know what this means? It means you’re too handsome to be real! And you have the perfect figure! I’m so lucky to have a handsome husband like you!” Brandon’s expression softened a lot under her flattery.
At that moment, a voice came.
“Is anyone here?”
Natalie signaled to Brandon, indicating that he should welcome the client.
With a playful smile, Brandon gestured for Natalie to turn around and see who it was.
As soon as Natalie turned around, she saw Mandy walking over to her in her three-inch high-heels arrogantly.
“Natalie White!” Mandy marched in, pointed at Natalie, and roared fiercely, “What kind of dirty trick did you use to make Carly leave me and hire you back as her designer?” Natalie frowned and said in a deep voice, “It’s up to the client to decide whom they want to hire. I won’t influence her decisions. Did you really come all the way here just for this?”
Mandy let out a cold laugh and retorted, “Stop lying! You’re just intentionally sabotaging my business.
If you hadn’t badgered Carly, she wouldn’t have given you the order.”
Natalie became annoyed after seeing how unreasonable Mandy was.
“You need to calm down. Carly wants an outfit designed for her grandmother, who is frugal and simple. Isn’t it normal that she doesn’t like your luxurious design style?”
“No! You must’ve done it on purpose! This is all your fault! You ruined my relationship with Draco, and now you’ve stolen my client. You bitch!” Mandy roared hysterically as she charged at Natalie.
Brandon’s expression darkened when he saw the raging Mandy.
He quickly stepped forward, putting his body between Natalie and Mandy.
Glaring at Mandy coldly, he warned, “Miss Hamilton, | suggest you behave yourself. If you dare lay a finger on my wife, I will make you pay.”
At the same time, the bodyguards who were lurking nearby also rushed in to protect Natalie.
Natalie entrusted him with this task so he wanted to be a good assistant. Even if Mandy was making a ruckus out of nothing, they were still in the studio. The least he could do was be polite. “If you are not here for a commission, please leave.”
Mandy gritted her teeth while staring at the man in front of her. It took her a few seconds to realize the person she was looking at was Brandon.
“Huh. I wasn’t expecting to see you here.” Mandy bared her fangs. “You, the CEO of the Larson Group, abandoned the whole company to come here and be an assistant. People will laugh if they found out about this!”
Of all the times Mandy had seen Brandon, this was the first time she saw him wearing such cheap and ordinary clothes. She didn’t expect that he would appear as an assistant of Natalie, so she didn’t recognize him immediately.
Brandon’s face was impassive as he narrowed his eyes at Mandy. Coldly, he said, “Miss Hamilton, I advise you to behave yourself. Didn’t you know? Your tongue is the source of your misfortunes.” The threat in Brandon’s words made Mandy tremble. Her heart was racing as fear and regret take over. |
Despite Brandon’s young age, as the CEO of the Larson Group, he had a high position and reputation at Barnes. How could she forget? Even the elders of her family had to bow to him, let alone a junior like her.
Then there was Brandon’s aura. Domineering, arrogant, and filling the air around him, making it suffocating. She was so scared her legs would give up any second.
