Chapter 618 âOf course, Mr. Larson. Iâll do it right now.â
Just when Sean was about to leave, he heard Brandon call him. He stiffened and carefully turned around as he asked, âIs there anything else, Mr.
Larson?â
He knew he couldnât avoid it.
Brandon silently looked at Sean for a few seconds before he replied, âSince youâve worked for me for all these years, I wonât punish you too much this time.â
âWhat...â Sean trailed off. It took him a while to react. Just then, his eyes widened in surprise and he couldnât help but smile. âMr. Larson, you remember!â
âOnly temporarily, though. I donât know if something unexpected will happen in the future.â Brandon withdrew his gaze from Sean and continued to read the documents that he was holding.
âBut I know youâll be fine since youâre such a good man! I just knew everything would turn out fine!â Sean excitedly wiped his tears.
Brandon frowned. He couldnât bear to see a grown man cry. âDonât cry. I still have to deduct your bonus for half a year and give it to charity as punishment for your carelessness.â
Seanâs eyes widened in shock. It didnât take long for him to feel dejected. âThatâs a little too much, Mr. Larson...â âItâs just a small punishment for you.â
Brandon coldly shifted his gaze back at Sean. âAlso, donât mention my injury in the company. If our shareholders and partners ask, tell them that Iâm on a business trip abroad.â
âWill do.â
With that, Sean obediently left.
The next day, he went to work as usual. Brandon told him that he only needed to send the documents to the hospital for him to review and sign after work.
The news that the Larson Groupâs helicopter appeared at the scene of the accident spread like wildfire.
All of the staff in the company began discussing it, which made people panic.
Since Brandon didnât come to work the next day, the news spread, and it made people more and more worried.
By the time Sean gave the tasks to each department director, he heard several of his colleagues discussing something when he passed by the 10th floor.
âDid you hear? Mr. Larson didnât come to work. I heard he was the one who had an accident a few days ago.â
âI canât get any other information on what happened. I donât know whatâs going on with Mr. Larson. The media outlets arenât saying anything. They just completely avoid mentioning it.â
âMaybe the situation is serious. Iâm afraid that Mr. Larson died in that car accident. If thatâs the case, the Larson Group currently doesnât have a CEO.â
Just when Sean was about to walk up to his colleagues and scold them, Vivian stood up. Her tone was stern as she exclaimed, âNo gossiping during work hours! Jack, I asked you to redo the plan the other day, right? I want to see it now.â
Since everyone was intimidated by Vivian, they looked down and didnât dare talk about the issue anymore.
Noticing that she was being too harsh, Vivian quickly softened her tone and said, âIf you spread rumors like this, it will only increase the burden on Mr.
Larson and the Larson Group. I think you all know that.â
After being scolded by Vivian, the employees were too embarrassed to raise their heads and look at her.
âIf you understand now, get back to work then,â Vivian ordered. With the document in her hand, she turned around to leave. But before she could take a step, a female employee voiced her dissatisfaction.
âWeâve just finished our work and were just getting a glass of water. We heard that something mightâve happened to our boss. As employees of the Larson Group, weâre worried about him and the company. Are we not allowed to talk about it and express our concern?â
As someone had taken the initiative to speak out their apprehension, everyone else straightened up and began arguing with Vivian.
âYeah! We were just chatting. Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?â a male employee argued. âDid we do something wrong? Is it already a sin to speak?â another female employee retorted, âDonât think you can take over just because Mr. Larson isnât here!â
The female employee must have been shocked by Vivianâs stern words that her eyes were red and brimming with tears.
âWhat... Are you kidding me?!â Vivian restrained herself from further reprimanding them. She closed her eyes and breathed out. Once she calmed down, she looked at everyone and seriously said, âI just hope all of you follow the rules of Larson Group.â

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 The employees spoke at the same time, expressing their discontent. Vivian had had enough of it. But since she was outnumbered, she could only give in. âYou can do whatever you want; just make sure you finish your work.â Just when the employees thought they had won, Sean entered and joined the conversation. âMr. Larson may not be in the company, but you canât just talk about him like that, much less spread baseless rumors. Have you forgotten that Vivian is your superior? You should all listen to her.â
âSean, we just donât want to be misunderstood,â an employee replied.
Everyone knew that Sean was chill and easy going. Seeing him so serious right now made everyone realize the gravity of the matter.
âWhy donât you do your job during work hours and gossip when you get off work? For your information, Mr. Larson is just on a business trip. And yet, youâre all speculating that heâs hospitalized because of a car wreck. Stop spreading rumors, okay?â Sean snapped loudly.
Now that their question had finally been answered, everyone finally stopped speculating.
âWeâre relieved to know that Mr. Larson is fine. We were just worried about him as we saw on the news that the companyâs helicopter appeared at the scene, so we thought...â The employee who just spoke trailed midsentence and then continued, âAnyway, now that youâve refuted the rumor, we can finally be at ease.â
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Sean checked the time on his watch and dismissed everyone. âAll of you, get back to work now. Mr.
Larson left the country yesterday via helicopter. To set things straight, the accident on the highway has nothing to do with Larson Group. If anyone spreads groundless rumors again, they will be fired immediately.â
âGot it.â
