The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 422

“Miss Lind, let me introduce myself first. I’m the director of the human resources department…”

“Good afternoon, Miss Lind. Afternoon tea is on me. What do you think about that?”

“Miss Lind, if you need any help, please give me a call at any time. Just so you know, I’m the marketing manager. You can go ahead and call me Mike…”

So many people were coming up to Janet. It really appeared that they were going to surround her desk at any moment.

After Janet arrived at the company today, she didn’t have time to get started on her work yet. This whole time, she had been wearing a decent smile on her face and politely dealing with the senior executives who were trying to suck up to her one after another.

In just one day, many colleagues and senior executives pretended to come up to her by chance. Some of them made excuses to talk to her and some even boldly came up to her directly to introduce themselves.

Thanks to Janet, Gerda had the opportunity to partake in a lot of snacks and drinks this afternoon. Her stomach was already full and she was feeling satisfied.

“It must be so good to be the wife of the CEO. Janet, you’re so fortunate.” Gerda let out a loud burp. Looking at the gifts on Janet’s desk, her eyes were filled with envy.

“Do you think all these gifts and foods are for nothing? They all want to get something from me.” Janet shook her head, feeling more and more worn out.

She sorted out all the gifts on her table, feeling a slight annoyance when she saw the flattering faces of those people surrounding her.

Maybe Tiffany was right. She could no longer work in the Larson Group anymore.

Finally, the workday was over and Janet felt greatly relieved.

She was now the focus of the entire Larson Group. All the employees of the Larson Group wanted to do nothing else but flatter her. Even the cleaner downstairs went out of her way to greet Janet respectfully when she saw her.

So as soon as Janet was off work, she especially made a detour, intending to take the stairs instead of the elevator to head downstairs. She didn’t want to have to ride the elevator with the others. In her eyes, it would only make her feel more embarrassed to be fawned upon by others in a small space. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

When Janet was about to reach the first floor, she could smell someone’s perfume. She made her way down the stairs and saw the perfume wearer leaning against the door frame and smiling up at her.

“Isn’t this such a coincidence, Miss Lind?” With a wide grin on her face, Charis turned her body so that she was now facing Janet.

The woman was both tall and slim. When she focused her gaze on Janet, she bowed her head down slightly.

“Hello, Miss Turner. Excuse me, I’m on my way out.” Janet forced a smile on her face. Now that Charis was standing in front of the door, blocking her path, Janet was in a dilemma. She could neither get out nor go back upstairs.

This encounter started to make Janet feel even more uncomfortable. Judging from the casual expression on Charis’ face, she must already know about Ethan’s dual identities.

It really seemed like Janet was the only one in the world who was left in the dark.

Cocking an eyebrow, Charis observed the subtle shift in Janet’s expression.

“Just to let you know, I do know that Brandon is Ethan,” Charis said, very relaxed, but there was a hint of malice that could be seen in her eyes. “You have to understand him. He hid it from you because he’s worried about a lot of things. After all, you and he are worlds apart.”

The fake smile on Janet’s face faded away at once.

She didn’t want to have a chat with Charis and she knew that Charis was standing in front of the door deliberately to cause trouble for her. She decided in the next moment to go upstairs directly and take the elevator out.

However, what Charis said next made her stop in her tracks.
