The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 941:

A few moments later, Tommy approached her, his tone full of reproach. “Why bother being so courteous to her?”

Greta, feeling slighted by the whole scene, quickly lied, saying, “I was just trying to be nice to Ethan’s mother for Brenna’s sake.”

By the time Brenna and Thiago wrapped up their visit to the lot, morning had given way to noon. Hunger nudged them to grab lunch before heading back to the company.

As the car pulled up to the company entrance, Brenna spotted a familiar figure standing near the building—Alec. He was dressed in a security guard’s uniform. For a split second, she doubted herself. Yet, as she squinted through the glass, there was no mistaking it. That man was truly Alec.

Alec wasted no time reaching Brenna’s car. He pulled the door open, and his eyes widened in shock as he saw Brenna. “Brenna! Mr. Mitchell offered me fifteen thousand a month to work here. He said taxi driving wears me down and puts me around troublemakers. He told me it’d be safer if I worked here.” But Brenna felt there was more to it. Why hadn’t Ethan mentioned this to her before?

Her face stayed unreadable as she stepped onto the pavement. Not a flicker of joy crossed her features. “Alright. Just do your best,” she replied.

Alec immediately caught the chill in her tone. He believed that she felt embarrassed that he was doing this. Deep down, he hoped she would talk to Ethan, maybe convince him to give him a more respectable position, like vice president or at least manager.
