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.

But there was something else that intrigued him. That laptop of hers. A model so rare, only five existed in the world. And he also happened to own one of them.

He found himself naturally drawn to someone that exceptional.

"So, Miss Harper, how do you plan on thanking me?" Ethan said.

Brenna hesitated for a beat. She had only been polite, but he seemed to be taking her words seriously. With no other option, she replied, "I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Ethan wasn't one to leave things to chance. Another day could turn into

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?
