Chapter 953:

Frustration flickered in Gracie’s eyes. She had spent a lot of effort persuading Ethan, who never had a moment to spare, to join her on this outing. Though a secretary could handle such things, she had used it as an excuse to spend time with him and get closer to him.

Everything had been going according to plan until Brenna appeared unexpectedly and ruined it all.

She could only watch as Ethan placed his hand on Brenna’s shoulder, a gentle smile meant only for Brenna. It was the kind of look she had never received from him.

Despite knowing Ethan for ages, Gracie couldn’t understand why he seemed drawn to Brenna. Masking her frustration, she gripped the earring and walked over, maintaining an elegant smile.

“Miss Harper! I never expected to run into you here!” Gracie said with exaggerated cheer, showing the earring to Brenna. “Please, do not get the wrong idea. I only asked Ethan to help me shop for gifts today. I’m still learning the ropes as Vanland’s new CEO and don’t know my way around yet. Even for something as ordinary as gift shopping, I needed his help. He was kind-hearted enough to take time out from work just for me. I really do feel bad for pulling him away from his responsibilities. I hope you don’t misunderstand anything.”
