Chapter 577: Ethan Tricks Jasmine

Brandon flashed a sly grin. "Mrs. Douglas, what brings you here? I am not expecting your visit and I've got an important meeting."

Claire smiled back. "No rush, Mr. Russell. You go ahead. I'll wait."

Brandon nodded and told his assistant, "Take care of Mrs. Douglas. Bring her to me after my meeting."

Claire felt pretty good, thinking Brandon valued her.

Little did she know, Brandon would be gone for four or five hours.

Claire waited forever, but Brandon never showed.

"Is Mr. Russell still in the meeting?" Claire was getting antsy. It wasn't even lunchtime.

She hadn't slept well last night, skipped breakfast, and hadn't had a drop of water. No one at Raymond Group offered her anything.

She was feeling lightheaded.

"Sorry, ma'am. Mr. Russell's meetings can go seven or eight hours without breaks. He told us to call you over when he's done," the assistant said with a smile.

Claire, feeling wobbly, gritted her teeth and nodded.

She had no choice but to wait.

Since Brandon said so, it didn't seem right to leave.

But how long would she have to wait?

After another two hours, Claire was about to pass out from hunger, and Brandon still hadn't come out.

"Still not done?" Claire asked weakly.

"Nope." The assistant shook his head regretfully.

Upstairs, Brandon was having lunch with Ethan in the office, chatting about the

project's progress.

Brandon teased Ethan. "Your stepmom's probably starving by now."

"One less problem if she starves." Ethan snorted.
