Chapter 1285 Eavesdropping Is Acceptable When Necessary

Unable to bear the suspense any longer, Brandon decided to call Sean himself, seeking guidance forthe current predicament. Sean, finally enjoying a day off, was spending quality time with Estella whenthe call interrupted them.

Annoyed, he picked up the phone.

His heart skipped a beat upon realizing it was his boss.

Did Brandon expect him to work at this hour?

Should he pretend he’d left his phone behind?

After a brief hesitation, Sean reluctantly answered the call.

His boss’s anxious voice filled his ear. “As an assistant, is it permissible to eavesdrop outside theboss’s office when necessary?”

Caught off guard by the question, Sean instinctively replied, “Of course not.”

Silence lingered on the other end before Brandon’s frosty voice returned. “I’ll give you another chanceto answer.”

Sean immediately deduced his boss intended to eavesdrop on Janet’s office, seeking a scapegoat incase he was caught.

Estella, listening in, snickered, “Boss, if you ask me, occasional eavesdropping doesn’t hurt. After all,Sean does it sometimes… Hmm…”

Her words were abruptly muffled by Sean’s hand.

But the damage was done. Brandon, now armed with that knowledge, retorted, “Estella’s right.Eavesdropping is acceptable when necessary.”

Sean, thinking Brandon hadn’t heard Estella’s last comment, nearly sighed in relief until a sneer slippedthrough the phone. “However, tomorrow I’ll ask what you’ve been eavesdropping on.” Brandon thenended the call.

Sean stared blankly at his phone, the screen now black. He knew he was in trouble.

Inside the reception room, Janet offered Mandy coffee and desserts, her voice soft. “Have some coffeeand calm down first.” Mandy hesitantly took the cup, sipping slowly as she recovered from the pressureof Brandon’s presence.

“Are you feeling better?” Looking at her pale face, Janet felt funny and shook her head.

Finally composed, Mandy recalled the reason for her visit. Embarrassment colored her cheeks as shethought of her earlier behavior and the coffee Janet had served her.

It was so humiliating! She had actually displayed her timidity in front of Janet. She even accepted thecoffee she offered! How could she continue causing trouble for Janet now?

Noticing Mandy’s shifting expressions and the anger that ultimately settled on her face, Janet couldn’thelp but replace the situation amusing. “Are you still upset?”

Face flushed, Mandy shot a glare at her and demanded, “What did you do to make Carly abandon meand choose you instead?” Janet’s smile remained. “If Carly didn’t explain, perhaps you should considerthe requirements of Carly’s order more carefully.”
