The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1035:

Ethan had recently acquired a small financial company that needed someone to manage it. The team was still being put together. Ethan had planned to use this as a way to place Gracie there, but she had no interest in leaving the current building. She wanted to be near Ethan. In her eyes, Brenna didn’t even need both floors.

She stared at the screen, her frustration mounting. In her mind, this was all Brenna’s fault. No matter how long she sat and stewed, she couldn’t figure out a single way to force Brenna out.

While she wrestled with her thoughts, Brenna and Thiago sat in a quiet corner of a restaurant. They were going over revisions to a proposal, sipping orange juice as they talked. Around eleven, Lyndon arrived at the restaurant and joined them.

Lyndon, a man in his thirties with a calm demeanor, walked in. “Miss Harper. Mr. Moreno. Sorry to keep you waiting. I left as soon as I got the call, but the road was long, and traffic slowed me down.”

“No worries, Mr. Wilde. Have a seat and order whatever you like. Miss Harper’s covering lunch today,” Thiago said as he passed Lyndon the menu with a smile.
