Chapter 1260
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Janetâs face visibly fell at the mention of Carlyâs commission.
Losing an order hadnât been a big dealâshe had been in the business long enough to know better than
letting these things get to her.
What upset her were the sharp words of the reporters.
She knew that the old lady had been hurt.
The situation brought Hannah to the surface of her mind.
The old woman reminded Janet of Hannah, the same innocence found in her eyes.
Even their hurt expressions mirrored each otherâs.
A sinking feeling settled on Janetâs chest.
The shift in her mood didnât escape Brandon.
He ran a gentle hand through her hair, trying to comfort her.
âDonât let it bother you. Your designs are amazing. You know that better than anyone. There is no doubt
your studio will be a success.â
âItâs not that. Iâm not really bothered that I lost the order.â
Janet heaved a sigh, her chin resting on her hand.
âItâs just⦠what happened today hurt the old lady. I feel so bad for her.â Brandonâs hand did not stop
their soothing motions.
âItâs not your fault. You had no way of knowing that Clyde would suddenly do this.â Janet stubbornly
shook her head, refusing to rid herself of blame.
âNo. It is my fault. I should have driven those reporters away sooner. If I had, this wouldnât have
happened.â Brandon sighed at the remorse that took over her face.
âIt would have been better if you could be as kind to yourself as you are to other people. Youâre too
hard on yourself.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Janetâs eyes lit up, an idea suddenly coming to her.
âMr. Wesley has been in the fashion world for a long time. Iâm sure he must have encountered
something similar. I shouldask him.â
She took out her phone and dialed Dracoâs number.
But before she could press the call button, her phone was snatched away.
âWhat are you doing?â she asked, furrowing her brows at Brandon.
She stood up, reaching to take her phone back.
âGive it back. Iâm not going to do anything weird. I just want advice from him.â
Brandon held her wrist with one hand as the other raised further up, keeping the phone out of her

Janetâs annoyance started to rise.
âBrandon, just give it to me. Are you doing this on purpose? Youâre acting crazy. Itâs just a phone call.â
âIâm acting crazy?â Brandon shook his head incredulously.

âYouâre the one not thinking straight from your anger towards Clyde.â Janet didnât retort, knowing that
Brandon had an idea.
Her hands fell to her side, stopping their attempt to get her phone back.
âWell, do you have any suggestions?â
Brandon narrowed his eyes and said confidently, âIn business, itâs a standard practice to research your
clientâs background before you go to them and apologize personally as a show of sincerity.
You should at least call Carly and explain the entire situation to her.
Even if she pulled out her order this time, maintaining a good relationship with a potential client keeps a
door open for opportunities in the future.â Janet clapped her hands and gasped, âI didnât think of that!
Itâs the perfect solution!â ninjanovel.com fast update.
She immediately asked Lexi to check Carlyâs information.
When Carly visited her for the first time in the studio, she had registered her basic information and
contact details.
Lexi checked the records to locate the info Janet needed.
âHurry up! Hurry up!â Janet wrung her fingers anxiously.
Lexiâs eyes went to her watch, an awkward smile settling on her lips.
âBoss, itâs time to clock out.â
It was only then that Janet realized the time.
The sun was already setting. An entire afternoon was lost because of Clyde and those damned
reporters.
âDamn it!â Janet clenched her fists and cursed.
âItâs their fault. I canât believe I wasted a whole afternoon dealing with them!â Brandon couldnât help
laughing at the enraged expression on her face.
âWell, you still have tomorrow. Thereâs enough time for it.â Then he winked at Lexi.
Lexi, quickly picking up on his intention, followed his lead.
âMr. Larsonâs right. Even if you get Carlyâs information today, it would be too late in the day to see her
and apologize. I doubt a sudden appearance at her doorstep past working hours would help your case.
Why donât we just continue tomorrow? We can do it first thing in the morning.â As she spoke, Lexi had
already gathered her things.ninjanovel.com content.
Without waiting for Janetâs response, she left the office quickly.
