Chapter 1258
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
After everyone left, Janet sighed with relief, picked up the phone, and was about to call a mechanic to
fix the power outage.
But then, the lights came on all of a sudden.
Confused, Janet looked at the lights, and then at Lexi, who was smiling slyly.
âDid you do it on purpose?â Lexi grinned like a mischievous child and answered, âYes, it seemed like
they were not leaving, so I came up with this idea.â
Janet chuckled and said, âWow! You sure have a lot of tricks.â
Feeling shy, Lexi scratched her head and said, âBoss, would you blame me for making them leave
without asking you first? I just felt like they were being too arrogant. Not only did they judge our studio,
but they also offended our clients. They were rude!â
Lexiâs awkward and cute side amused Janet.
âArenât you worried that I might fire you because you acted without my permission?â Lexiâs face paled,
but she stood firm and said, âI know you wonât fire me just because I made those reporters leave. They
were a bunch of snobs, so arrogant and rude to our clients. Although I would never dare to say that I
know you well, I can tell that you are not a self-centered person and that you loathe people who think
too highly of themselves.â
Janetâs heart warmed up after hearing Lexiâs understanding of her, and she was also a little surprised.
She didnât expect Lexi to know her so well and trust her wholeheartedly.
Lexi had even taken the risk of offending her just to make those reporters leave. Janet sincerely said to
her, âThank you, Lexi. You did a good job.â
âAndâ¦â
Lexi winked cutely and added, âMr. Johnson told me while he recruited me that I should know how to
help my boss solve problems when necessary and I will always remember it!â
Janet was more than just satisfied with Lexi, who could analyze the situation and act decisively.
It seemed that Sean had recruited the right person, after all.
Meanwhile, after leaving the studio, Clyde was furious. He had done a lot for Janet.
He sent her flowers and asked reporters to promote her new studio.
Why couldnât she appreciate it? Why was she so ungrateful? He knew Janet was a proud lady from a
distinguished family, but she should at least be moved by his kind and enthusiastic gesture, shouldnât
she? She should at least feel grateful towards him.
Not to mention, the assistant purposely splashed coffee on his face just to see him make a fool of
himself! Was Brandon afraid that he might steal Janetâs heart that he had to send an assistant to guard
her? Clyde blamed Brandon and believed that if it hadnât been for Brandonâs intervention during his
date with Janet, she would have treated him better now.
The more Clyde thought about it, the more furious it made him.
Hanging his head low, he walked over to the opposite side of the street. His car was parked on another
street, so he had to pass through a busy intersection.
Clyde had always been gentle and easy-going in front of others, and it was his first time walking in the
streets like a mess.
Even if no one noticed him, he still felt like people were laughing at him. He was so embarrassed that
he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it! Damn it! That little bitch! Clyde roared in his heart.
He would have destroyed that assistant if it hadnât been for Janet.
Immersed in anger, Clyde didnât even notice a Maybach that stopped not too far away.
In the car, Sean raised his chin at Clyde and asked Brandon, âMr. Larson, is that Clyde Lambert? Why
is he here? And why is he in such a mess? Arenât we close by Mrs. Larsonâs studio?â
Following the direction Sean was pointing to, Brandon saw Clyde holding a bouquet, hanging his head
low, which was splashed with coffee.
Brandon could guess what might have happened just by looking at him. âHe must be coming from
Janetâs studio.â
With a playful smile, Brandon added, âBut it seems like he has humiliated himself in front of her.â
Sean nodded with a frown and asked, âIs he trying to pursue Mrs. Larson?â
Brandon smiled scornfully and said coolly, âHe doesnât deserve to pursue her. Letâs go and have a
look.â
