Chapter 444: What About The Job
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
After a week, Ethan and Janet returned from Europe. Seacisco had grown quite warm by then. As soon
as the two of them stepped foot outside the airport, countless reporters swarmed around them.
âMr. Larson, when did you and your wife fall for each other?â
âWhy was your wedding so out-of-the-blue? Are you two expecting a child?â
âMay I know what Mrs. Larson does? Our source said that sheâs an employee of your company. Was it
an office romance?â
The reporters bombarded them with a barrage of questions. Covering half of Janetâs face with the
scarf, Ethan held her in his arms protectively. His cold gaze swept across the sea of reporters and he
didnât say a word.
Perhaps it was because Ethanâs face was bone-chillingly cold that the reporters didnât dare to ask any
scandalous
questions. When they made it home from the airport, Janet couldnât hold her curiosity at bay any
longer.
âEthan, I noticed that although our marriage is a trending topic, all the mediaâs reports on me are simple
and objective. They were never judgmental with me. Did you put any pressure on the media?â Ethan
put his suitcase down and began to sort out the luggage.
âItâs their job to report the truth. I just reminded them that.â With a sweet smile on her face, Janet
suddenly walked over and threw her arms around Ethanâs neck.
âHoney, I want to go back to work.â While she had already resigned from the Larson Group, she hadnât
found a new job yet.
And she had no plans of becoming a full-time housewife.
Ethanâs heart instantly softened when Janet called him honey.
He slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
âWhat do you mean? You want your job back? Or do you want me to support your search for another
job?â Swirling her finger on his chest a few times, Janet said in a pouty tone, âI donât want to go back; I
donât want to work for you either.â
In a word, she didnât want to rely on him.
Ethan understood what she meant. He pondered for a while.
âIn the design industry in Seacisco, the biggest and the best two companies are the Larson Group and
the Lester Silk Fabric. You canât join Lester Silk Fabric of course.â
He held Janet even tighter and said possessively, âYouâre not leaving Seacisco either. I refuse to be in
a long-distance relationship.â
Leaning against Ethanâs chest, Janet smiled and said, âThen give me advice.â
A thought occurred to Ethan and he suggested that Janet open her own studio. With his help, she
didnât need to worry about reputation or clients.
But she didnât think she was experienced enough to be an independent designer, nor did she want to
rely on Ethan to develop her career.
So she decided to talk to Tiffany about it.

Tiffany was surprised when Janet came to her for help.
After all, Janet was already the Mrs. Largon. Tiffariy doubted there was anything in this world Brandon
couldnât give to her.
Wait until I get off work. I still work for your husband, remember? I canât just sneak out and have dinner
with you,â Tiffany whined jokingly on the phone. She was a professional and drew a firm line between
work and personal affairs, a line she refused to cross.
âOkay. Iâve booked a table in the French restaurant downstairs. Focus on your work first. Iâll see you
later,â Janet said with a smile
After tidying up at home, Janet headed to the restaurant and waited patiently for Tiffany. When she and
Ethan had visited Paris, she fell in love with French cuisine.
Just as she was scanning the menu and thinking about what to order, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
Try the foie gras. This restaurant is known for it. I myself find it the most delicious dish in the whole
world.â
The womanâs voice was lively and crisp, sounding very youthful.
When Janet looked up, her eyes met that of a beautiful girl in a white dress. She had long, dark hair
that hung over her shoulders. Her outfit and accessories were all from designer brands, and she was
carrying two Hermes shopping bags. The Cartier necklace resting on her clavicle twinkled brightly. After
hesitating for a few seconds, Janet smiled politely. âIâm sorry, Miss. I donât think weâve met.â
âWho I am is none of your business. Are you Janet, Brandonâs wife, from the news?â
