The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 383

Ethan stood in the elevator, all stiff and tense His fear lingered at the back of his head He had been sweating so much that his shirt had already stuck to his back Ethat had never expected to meet Janet here, of all places He hadn’t even figured out how to tell her the truth yet.

All this time, he had been going to great lengths, monitoring her every move in the office, just to avoid accidentally running into her Every day, he would wait for her to leave the company before getting off work himself.

And whenever Janei needed to clock in some overtime, Ethan made sure to leave after she did. That afternoon, Janet had sent him a message saying that she was going to have coffee with Kent.

Ethan had been in the middle of a meeting with the senior executives, so he hadn’t even been able to reply to her Once the meeting was done, he had proceeded to go over the financial statements and make the necessary revisions.

It had taken him a while before he could finally call it a day.

He had felt safe taking the CEO’s elevator under the foolish presumption that Janet would either be at the coffeehouse or on her way home by now.

Ethan had never expected her to suddenly return to the company.

Just before the elevator reached the top floor, Ethan received another message from Janet.

She was asking about Emani.

To begin with, he had no intentions to use Brandon’s name in helping Janet with this issue, since it wouldn’t make any sense He could only reply her coldly, saying that it had nothing to do with Brandon or the Larson Group As the elevator door slid to a close between them earlier, Ethan realized that Janet was staring at him through the gap.

He knew then that she had seen his face.

Although surprised at first, he immediately averted his eyes and turned away.

A few seconds after that, his phone pinged.

Janet was inviting Brandon to dinner.

She offered to meet him in person and treat him to a meal, which could only mean that she had begun to suspect him It wasn’t the right time to tell her the truth, however, so he had no choice but to make up some excuse and decline her offer Sure enough, as soon as Janet was rejected by Brandon, she called Ethan.

Ethan yanked his tie off his neck.
