“What’s the mean of this?” Brandon asked with a blank look.

Garrett cleared his throat and sheepishly scratched his head. “So here’s the thing. The Harding Groupfinished recruitment just a few days ago. The candidates weren’t exactly suitable for the HardingGroup, but I think they will fit in the Larson Group nicely. I suggested for them to apply for an interviewwith your company, and those youngsters were also keen on the idea. I wanted to recommend themdirectly to you. Of course, I’ll gladly vouch for their eligibility.”

Brandon glanced at the list of names, his eyes narrowing. These people were quite famous, being themost popular newcomers in the industry.

A faint smile touched his lips. “I’ll take this list for review,” he said somewhat cautiously. “I’ll consideryour recommendation.”

Garrett always had a good eye for people. As such, he rarely recognized someone to be truly gifted, nomatter how famous they were. Once he did, it only meant that person was truly remarkable.

“Ah, you’re willing to give it a shot?” Garrett looked relieved. In truth, he had been afraid that Brandonwould take his gesture in a bad light and reject the offer. Brandon only nodded casually.

Garrett grabbed a chair and gingerly sat in front of Brandon. He rubbed his palms against his trousers,hesitating for a moment before speaking again. “I didn’t really expect you would accept it. You didn’ttrust me before, after all.”

He hadn’t forgotten how Charis had driven a wedge between him and Brandon.

“Nonsense. It’s been so long; why are you still hung up about that? You’re going to be a father soon.You should stop being so narrow-minded.” Brandon folded the list and tucked it inside his pocket. “I doremember how you’ve contributed to the development of the Larson Group these last two years.”

“Do you really remember?” Garrett asked, his voice thick with emotion.

Janet had mentioned that Brandon was slowly recovering his memories, but he didn’t let himselfbelieve it.

Now that Brandon had said so himself, a wave of relief washed over him.

The Brandon he knew and admired, the friend who had worked hard alongside him, was finally comingback.

The two men stared at each other, and the tension gradually eased as they both broke into a smile.

Even so, they couldn’t put their feelings into words. They could only look at each other in embarrassedsilence.

Garrett stood and walked around the ward, his eyes darting toward the door. “I wonder why our wivesaren’t back yet.”

Brandon glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. “They’ve only been out for a few minutes. Theyshouldn’t be back for quite some time.”

Meanwhile, at the cafe, the dessert and beverages that Janet had ordered were just being served.

“Here, try this,” she said to Laney. “This is their new specialty.”

It was a small red velvet cake decorated with a chocolate bow. For their drinks, they had each orderedan oat milk latte.

Laney cut a corner of the cake and put it in her mouth. “Oh, it’s divine.”

She took a couple more bites in less than a minute. Laney had grown fond of sweet things lately.

“I’m happy you like it. I’ll have the waiter pack a few boxes to go, so you can take some home.” Janetimmediately waved the waiter over and asked him to pack up a slice of every cake they had in thestore.

“But will Vera be okay with you eating so many desserts?” Janet asked belatedly.

Laney paused and said, “Since Garrett and I already moved out, his mother can no longer comment onhow I spend my days. Although, she has been coming to our house more often lately. She’s probablyplanning to persuade us to move back. She kept crying and whining to Garrett, and even had someonefollow us.”

“What? This is too much!” Janet was worried about her friend. She had initially thought that once Laneyleft the 

Harding residence, she and Garrett would have an easier life. Instead, however, it seemed that Laneywas facing a new set of challenges altogether.

Laney sighed mournfully. She pressed her lips together and glanced pointedly behind her. “See thosepeople two tables away? Vera hired them to trail me. She thought that I wouldn’t notice if she changedthe spies every two days.”

Janet could tell that Laney felt helpless about the situation.

“Maybe if I hadn’t worked as a b*odyguard before, I would never have noticed at all. I may not be ableto move as quickly as I used to, but my senses are just as sharp as before. What kind of professional

b*odyguard would I be if I lost my skills just because I’m pregnant? Alas, I’m afraid I have no choice butto put up with it.”

“You can’t put up with it forever,” Janet said, frowning. “Are you going to tolerate Vera’s antics for therest of your life?”
