Chapter 10 How Do You Plan On Thanking Me

Outside the restaurant.

Brenna tilted her head slightly, a small smile playing on her lips as she looked at Ethan, who towered over her.

"Thanks for today," she said.

She could have handled the situation on her own, but having Ethan step in had made things easier for her. She figured he at least deserved a word of gratitude.

Ethan's lips curled at the corners, his expression thoughtful. There was something oddly familiar about the woman before him, though he couldn't place where he had seen her before. That was why he had interfered- otherwise, someone like him wouldn't usually get involved in other people's matters.

He found himself naturally drawn to someone that exceptional.

decide to treat me, it'll be easier for you to reach me."

Brenna inwardly scoffed. Was he serious? Did the richest man in the world really need a free meal? And wasn't someone like him supposed to be drowning in work, too busy to bother with things like this?
