Chapter 20 I'm Here To Treat Him

By seven in the morning, Brenna had already freshened up and was making her way downstairs.

As she entered the dining room, her gaze landed on a man seated at the table. He appeared to be in his early thirties, with neatly trimmed jet-black hair that added a polished yet stylish touch to his sharp features. Dressed in a simple black shirt, he exuded quiet authority. His lips pressed into a firm line as he cast a disinterested glance in Brenna's direction before refocusing on his breakfast, making it clear he had no interest in talking to her.

Brenna immediately assumed this must be her eldest brother, Ernst, But judging by his cold demeanor, he wasn't eager to acknowledge her. Without pushing for interaction, she just offered him a polite smile before heading straight to the kitchen.

Inside, Julia and two other maids were busy preparing the morning meal. Brenna scanned the selection before picking out a few items for herself.

As Brenna finished eating, her phone rang. She picked up the call to hear Christopher Pierce's voice. "Brenna, I'm at your gate."

"Okay, I'll be right out," Brenna replied, quickly swallowing the last bite of her food. Without lingering, she grabbed her phone and strode toward the door.

Just as she was about to step outside, Giselle descended the stairs. Seeing Brenna hurrying out, she asked, "Where are you off to this early?"

Brenna halted briefly before replying, "I have an appointment to meet someone today."

Giselle took note of Brenna's outfit-an elegant deep blue ensemble, consisting of a sleeveless chiffon blouse and wide-legged trousers, paired with sleek black leather shoes. Her hair was swept into a neat bun, giving her an air of effortless sophistication.

"Aren't we supposed to pick some clothes together? I arranged for them to be delivered soon," Giselle said.

Brenna offered a polite smile. "You can handle it. I will need outfits for different occasions. I have something important to handle now."
