The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1140:

The next morning, Brenna arrived at work and caught sight of Alec at the building’s entrance, looking more refreshed than ever.

Brenna examined him from head to toe. His outfit was spotless, his hair perfectly styled, and he seemed downright cheerful. “Where’d you stay last night?” she asked.

She couldn’t help but wonder. Just yesterday, Alec had nowhere to go, yet today, he looked to be in such a good mood.

Alec smoothed his jacket and flashed Brenna a smug look. “If you won’t look after me, someone else will. I’m hardly struggling. I’m actually doing just fine.”

Brenna noticed the faint trace of expensive cologne on him but didn’t press for details. She headed for the elevator, phone already out, texting her bodyguard to look into Alec’s whereabouts from the night before. With the way he looked, she doubted he’d spent the night at just a hotel.

Around 10 a.m., Brenna was at her desk, adjusting a robot prototype, when Lorna pushed open the office door. Behind her were Jayceon and Fay, the latter wearing a striking burgundy gown that hugged her curves. Fay’s steps had a subtle sway as she clung to Jayceon’s arm, a bright smile on her face.
