The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 618

“Of course, Mr. Larson. I'll do it right now.”

Just when Sean was about to leave, he heard Brandon call him. He stiffened and
carefully turned around as he asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Larson?”

He knew he couldn't avoid it.

Brandon silently looked at Sean for a few seconds before he replied, “Since
you've worked for me for all these years, I won't punish you too much this time.”
“What...” Sean trailed off. It took him a while to react. Just then, his eyes widened
in surprise and he couldn't help but smile. “Mr. Larson, you remember!”

“Only temporarily, though. I don’t know if something unexpected will happen in
the future.” Brandon withdrew his gaze from Sean and continued to read the
documents that he was holding.

“But I know you'll be fine since you're such a good man! I just knew everything
would turn out fine!” Sean excitedly wiped his tears.

Brandon frowned. He couldn't bear to see a grown man cry. “Don’t cry. I still have
to deduct your bonus for half a year and give it to charity as punishment for your
carelessness.”

Sean's eyes widened in shock. It didn't take long for him to feel dejected. “That's
a little too much, Mr. Larson...” “It's just a small punishment for you.” Brandon
coldly shifted his gaze back at Sean. “Also, don’t mention my injury in the
company. If our shareholders and partners ask, tell them that I'm on a business
trip abroad.”

“Will do.”

With that, Sean obediently left.

The next day, he went to work as usual. Brandon told him that he only needed to
send the documents to the hospital for him to review and sign after work.

The news that the Larson Group's helicopter appeared at the scene of the
accident spread like wildfire.

All of the staff in the company began discussing it, which made people panic.
Since Brandon didn’t come to work the next day, the news spread, and it made
people more and more worried.

By the time Sean gave the tasks to each department director, he heard several of
his colleagues discussing something when he passed by the 10th floor.

“Did you hear? Mr. Larson didn’t come to work. I heard he was the one who had
an accident a few days ago.”

“I can’t get any other information on what happened. I don’t know what's going on
with Mr. Larson. The media outlets aren’t saying anything. They just completely
avoid mentioning it.”

“Maybe the situation is serious. I'm afraid that Mr. Larson died in that car
accident. If that's the case, the Larson Group currently doesn’t have a CEO.”
Just when Sean was about to walk up to his colleagues and scold them, Vivian
stood up. Her tone was stern as she exclaimed, “No gossiping during work hours!
Jack, I asked you to redo the plan the other day, right? I want to see it now.”
Since everyone was intimidated by Vivian, they looked down and didn’t dare talk
about the issue anymore.

Noticing that she was being too harsh, Vivian quickly softened her tone and said,
“If you spread rumors like this, it will only increase the burden on Mr. Larson and
the Larson Group. I think you all know that.”

After being scolded by Vivian, the employees were too embarrassed to raise their
heads and look at her.

“If you understand now, get back to work then,” Vivian ordered. With the
document in her hand, she turned around to leave. But before she could take a
step, a female employee voiced her dissatisfaction.

“We've just finished our work and were just getting a glass of water. We heard
that something might've happened to our boss. As employees of the Larson
Group, we're worried about him and the company. Are we not allowed to talk
about it and express our concern?”

As someone had taken the initiative to speak out their apprehension, everyone
else straightened up and began arguing with Vivian.

“Yeah! We were just chatting. Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?”
a male employee argued. “Did we do something wrong? Is it already a sin to
speak?” another female employee retorted, “Don’t think you can take over just
because Mr. Larson isn't here!”

The female employee must have been shocked by Vivian's stern words that her
eyes were red and brimming with tears.

“What... Are you kidding me?!” Vivian restrained herself from further
reprimanding them. She closed her eyes and breathed out. Once she calmed
down, she looked at everyone and seriously said, “I just hope all of you follow the
rules of Larson Group.”

The employees spoke at the same time, expressing their discontent. Vivian had
had enough of it. But since she was outnumbered, she could only give in. “You
can do whatever you want; just make sure you finish your work.” Just when the
employees thought they had won, Sean entered and joined the conversation.
“Mr. Larson may not be in the company, but you can’t just talk about him like that,
much less spread baseless rumors. Have you forgotten that Vivian is your
superior? You should all listen to her.”

“Sean, we just don’t want to be misunderstood,” an employee replied.

Everyone knew that Sean was chill and easy going. Seeing him so serious right
now made everyone realize the gravity of the matter.

“Why don’t you do your job during work hours and gossip when you get off work?
For your information, Mr. Larson is just on a business trip. And yet, you're all
speculating that he’s hospitalized because of a car wreck. Stop spreading
rumors, okay?” Sean snapped loudly.

Now that their question had finally been answered, everyone finally stopped
speculating.

“We're relieved to know that Mr. Larson is fine. We were just worried about him
as we saw on the news that the company’s helicopter appeared at the scene, so
we thought...” The employee who just spoke trailed midsentence and then
continued, “Anyway, now that you've refuted the rumor, we can finally be at
ease.”

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Sean checked the time on his
watch and dismissed everyone. “All of you, get back to work now. Mr. Larson left
the country yesterday via helicopter. To set things straight, the accident on the
highway has nothing to do with Larson Group. If anyone spreads groundless
rumors again, they will be fired immediately.”

“Got it.”
