"Of course, Mrs. Larson. I owe it to the Larson Group's funding that I got to graduate from the university," Vivian assured Janet. "I am currently on a break from my studies abroad. It's an honor to be able help with the charity event," she added.
Even though Janet had just met Vivian, she noticed her undeniable intelligence and kindness. She saw Vivian as a fearless lady who was ready to take on the world. She thought that with her personality, anyone would naturally gravitate towards her.
With a hint of admiration, she introduced herself, "I'm Janet Larson, Brandon's wife. We appreciate you coming back for the event. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." Janet graciously shook Vivian's hand.
With a smile on her face, Vivian replied, "I know who you are, Mrs. Larson. I'm a fan of your work. I was fascinated when I saw the designs from W Marks Studio during the live broadcast of Iridescent Show. I never thought I'll have the privilege to meet someone as exceptional as you are, Mrs. Larson."
Janet was used to being complimented, but she knew that Vivian spoke with sincerity. Her words were well-thought-out and they weren't something one might hear every day.
She understood right then and there that Vivian was way ahead of her time.
The staff and volunteers distributed the snacks and candies as the children settled down. Everyone had calmed down except the one little boy who upsettingly threw his candies at Janet.
Janet wanted to approach the boy to talk to him, but she was worried that it would only make the situation worse.
Vivian saw through Janet's struggle. Without missing a beat, she volunteered to talk to the boy. "Let me handle this, Mrs. Larson. Don't worry, I have dealt with kids before," she suggested with a confident smile.
"Thank you." Janet nodded with relief.
Vivian went over and approached the boy calmly. She went down on her knees to face the little boy. With a gentle voice, she asked, "Why were you upset just now, sweetie? You can tell me."
The little boy nodded while wiping his tears. He turned around and gave the children around them a look of comfort and approval.
With one look, they all understood. They ran over to Janet showering her with tight hugs and sincere apologies.
With the kids still in her arms, Janet looked at Vivian with a radiant smile and thanked her.
Vivian responded by shaking her head with a gentle smile written on her face. "You are welcome, Mrs. Larson."
Brandon arrived just in time to see his wife getting along with the kids.
