The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 1041 Vivian’s Sudden Visit

Janet turned around when she heard someone calling.

It was Vivian. Vivian was wearing a neat silver gray suit and a pair of glittering black high heels, and

she had her long hair draped over her shoulders. She was standing elegantly behind Janet when she

called out to her.

Vivian walked towards Janet with a smile and said, “Mrs. Larson, why do you look so surprised? Did

you not expect me to be here?”

She smirked to herself when she saw the confusion in Janet’s eyes.

Janet did not expect Vivian to visit her all of a sudden. Besides, it was typically Tasha’s job to receive

the guests, and she would accompany them into the VIP room to wait if they came for Janet. This

allowed time for Janet to prepare herself before meeting her guests.

Unfortunately, Tasha was taking her break in the tea room when Vivian arrived. As such, Vivian was

able to catch Janet unprepared.

Janet made eye contact with Vivian and saw a slight glitter in her eye. She guessed that Brandon’s

plan must be going smoothly.

Janet smiled at Vivian and said bluntly, “Yeah, I didn’t expect you to come, and I’m indeed a little

surprised.”

Just then, Elizabeth screamed. She trotted beside Janet and cheered, “The results are released. Tasha

won first place!”

“That’s awesome! Tasha won first place despite this being her first time entering such competitions,” a

female colleague chimed in excitedly as she overheard Elizabeth.

“What are you talking about? Every designer in our studio is talented. I think Tasha deserves the

champion!” another colleague echoed.

“You two keep your voices down. You’ll scare the guest,” Elizabeth reminded them kindly.

The young designers who heard the good news stood up one by one and took turns praising Tasha,

joking and having a good time.

Janet glanced towards the tea room and found that Tasha hadn’t come out yet. She turned to Vivian

and said politely, “Excuse me, please give me a moment. I need to go and congratulate my friend for

winning the prize. I’ll be right back, so make yourself comfortable in the meantime.”

To ensure their guests’ comfort, W Marks Studio had placed many sofas and throw pillows in the hall.

Vivian gave a friendly nod and sat down on the sofa. Despite trying to look casual, the way she walked

and sat down gave away her arrogance.

It was undeniable that Vivian and Charis were incredibly similar in this aspect.

Vivian smoothed her clothes gracefully as she waited. This was her first time in W Marks Studio, and

she used to think a well-known studio like this would be very- professional.

Vivian didn’t expect a group of women to be laughing and joking as soon as she got in. She found them

very noisy and unpleasant.

She shook her head silently and sneered secretly, “These people are way below me.”

When Janet opened the door to the tea room, she found Tasha sorting out the biscuits in a corner.

Tasha blinked at Janet and suddenly felt a wave of anxiety hit her. She asked timidly, “Are the results

out?” Janet raised an eyebrow at Tasha. She took her hand and pulled her out as she said excitedly,

“Didn’t you hear everyone celebrating outside?”

“Celebrating for what?” Tasha asked in bewilderment, as she didn’t know what was happening outside.

She had only heard the loud murmurs of her colleagues, but she couldn’t catch a word they said. As

soon as she walked out, she was immediately surrounded by colleagues congratulating her.

Finally hearing the news clearly, Tasha covered her mouth with both hands and cried in disbelief, “I…

I’m the champion!”

She didn’t expect herself to win the championship. “I just wanted to try my luck in the competition, so I

submitted my design,” she continued humbly.

In fact, it took Janet and Elizabeth days of encouragement for Tasha to have the courage to submit her

design.

“I told you you could do it,” Janet praised proudly. It was all within her expectation.

Tasha wiped away her tears and said emotionally, “This award means a lot to me. This is my first prize

after I returned to work. I was even pregnant while I designed my award-winning outfit!”

The award was not only to honor Tasha’s achievement, it was also a motivation for her to continue

working as a designer. Although she would soon have to go home to wait for the delivery due in half a

month, the award was undoubtedly the best news for her before her delivery.

Janet Patted Tasha’s back and joked, “You’ll not feel so emotional next time when you win, and the

next, and the many more times in the future.”

Elizabeth chimed in and comforted Tasha. She then hinted to Janet, “Janet, that guest has been

waiting for you for a long time already…”

Janet felt guilty at the sudden realization. She hurried back to Vivian’s side and said apologetically, “I’m

sorry to keep you waiting.”
