Chapter 988 Destroy The Rumors
The truth was, Vivian had known this waitress.
That was why when she recognized her at the restaurant, she informed the waitress that she was
Derekâs friend and told the waitress that Derek and Janet wanted to book a coupleâs suite together. She
then tipped the waitress heavily for her help in booking it.
Vivian was a little nervous now, trying her best to keep the waitress from seeing her. She kept biting her
lower lip to steady her nerves as she couldnât afford to expose her intentions in front of Brendan and
Janet. 4
However, Vivian simply couldnât conceal her nervousness. She knew she would be doomed if the
waitress recognized her in front of Brandon and Janet.
Vivian found an empty corner not far away and walked quickly over. She then turned away from the
crowd, and lowered her head and pretended to look at her phone. âA coupleâs suite!â echoed an
employee from the Larson Group. Although the waitress had spoken softly when she was talking to
Brandon and Janet, many employees had overheard her and began speculating about the reason for
them booking the coupleâs suite.
âMr. and Mrs. Larson must be feeling romantic tonight. I guess they just want a wild night out!â
âWas it Mr. Larson who booked the room? But why does he seem angry?â
There was a wave of murmur across the room as everyone started gossiping.
Brandonâs face darkened. They had already denied the suite before, so why did the waitress ask again
if they wanted to book a suite? He was furious at the waitress â lack of common sense.
âWellâ¦â the waitress started timidly. âIf you donât want the suite, I can cancel it for you,â she continued
as she realized that something was amiss. She turned around and attempted to hurry away, but
Brandon stopped her. âWhoâ¦â Brendanâs voice trailed off as he was interrupted by Janet. (2)
âYou donât have to cancel the booking. We are taking the suite,â Janet said with a bright smile. She then
hugged Brandonâs arm and gave him a wink. âWe havenât had our alone time in a long while, have
we?â she added.
Janet knew that Brandon wanted to figure out who booked the room. However, the timing was wrong.
He would only be embarrassing himself now if he asked the question. There were just too many
employees around and they would figure out that it was neither Brandon nor her who booked the suite.
This would only spur more gossip about who had booked the room for them.
Janet did not want needless rumors to spread in the company.
She still suspected that it was Derek who orchestrated the situation. However, she wanted to wait for
things to quieten down before finding out the truth. As such, she planned to ask the waitress another
time when Everybody was gone.
âMrs. Larson, you were the one who booked the suite?â asked a female colleague in surprise. She
thought that Janet was a reserved woman and didnât expect her to be so open-minded. Janet booked a
coupleâs suite for herself and Brandon so they could have a romantic night? No wonder Brandon was
so obsessed with her.
Janet pretended to be shy and placed her hand on her cheek as if to hide her blush. âWell, I didnât
expect that the waitress would announce it in front of all of you. But itâs true that Iâve thought about
spending some quality time with my husband for a long time already. This is so embarrassing. Please,
go on with your dinner. We donât want to disturb your meal.â
With that, she took the key card from and waitress and tugged at Brandonâs arm. However, as he
seemed unwilling to move, she gave him a hard squeeze and said sweetly, âHoney, letâs go.â
Brandon felt a little helpless. He thought it strange when Derek denied booking the suite. He didnât
seem to be lying. However, if it werenât Derek, who else would it be? Who would be so mean as to
create a misunderstanding between Janet and him?
Brandon wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, he found it interesting that Janet would say that
she was the one who booked the suite in front of all these people. After all, she was a shy woman.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw Janet acting so bold in front of so many of his employees.
Before he knew it, he was being pulled along by her. Before they left, he nodded to the employees who
were still standing around and announced, âPlease, enjoy. We will be taking our leave now.â The
employees all smiled and said their goodbyes.
After Brandon and Janet were gone, the employee that flattered Janet sat down and grumbled with
envy, âMr. and Mrs. Larson seem so in love.â
