The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 1270

The room was filled with disbelief.

No one could fathom why Janet would refuse the order.

As Janet gracefully poured coffee for her guests, she softly explained, "I have faith in the designers at W Marks Studio. They possess the skill and creativity to craft designs that will undoubtedly please you. While I appreciate your kind gesture to switch designers temporarily to bring me business, it would ultimately hurt the designers at W Marks Studio and create complications for Mr. Wesley."

Estella, a perceptive woman, instantly understood Janet's perspective.

Indeed, their actions would have been ill-advised.

It would not only tarnish the reputation of the designers of W Marks Studio but also strain the relationship between Janet and W Marks Studio, potentially fostering animosity between them.

"You're absolutely right," Estella conceded, a contrite expression on her face. "My apologies. Rest assured, I'll actively seek other opportunities to bring you business in the future."

The others, too, regained their composure. They were impressed by Janet's integrity and candor, assuring her that they would undoubtedly seek her design expertise in the future.

Gratitude graced Janet's smile.

The conversation shifted from design to more casual topics.

During their chat, Janet inquired about the status of Estella and Sean's relationship.

However, upon hearing Sean's name, Estella's smile was quickly replaced by a scowl.

"Don't even mention Sean to me!"

With fists clenched, Estella fumed, "He is a workaholic! He never has any time to spend with me!"

The blame for Sean's excessive overtime fell squarely on one person: Brandon!

Janet chuckled awkwardly, "Oh, is that so?"

Suppressing a smirk, Brandon cast a glance at Sean

beside him and drawled, "If it weren't for your timely cough, she'd have unleashed a torrent of slander against me."

Sean and Estella exchanged awkward smiles.

Brandon chose not to dwell on the matter, instead waving his hand dismissively. "Since your girlfriend feels this way, I won't keep you working today. You can leave early."

Sean, realizing Brandon desired some alone time with Janet, nodded knowingly and ushered Estella and their friends away.

Silence enveloped the reception room once more.

Noticing Brandon's sullen expression, Janet couldn't help but laugh. "As the CEO, are you really going to bicker with a young lady?"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Brandon shot back, "You should be more concerned about your desserts. You haven't received any order yet, and you've almost run out of desserts."
