NovelBookChapter 1012: Ethan was left embarrassed, thinking he must be the jerk she was talking about. He didn't have the nerve to reply or confront her.
The elevator doors finally opened on the fifty-eighth floor. Brenna wasted no tstepping out, feeling a wave of relief.
Ethan followed her out, trailing just a few steps behind. Brenna made straight for her office and slammed the door shut, nearly letting it hit Ethan. Luckily, he managed to pull back just in time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGreta, who had arrived at the company a little earlier than usual, glanced up and caught sight of the scene. The way Brenna shut Ethan out made the rumors of their falling-out seem all the more believable. If they really had split, Greta figured now was her chance to make a move on Ethan.
Setting her bag aside, she walked over to him. "Mr. Mitchell, are you here to see Brenna?" Ethan's gaze turned icy. "Go away," he replied, his tone sharp. Whatever happened between him and Brenna was nobody else's concern. He was well aware of Greta's intentions; his secretaries had tried to do the sbefore, and he was adept at handling such advances.
Greta was startled by Ethan's intimidating presence, instinctively stepping back. She felt aggrieved. "Mr. Mitchell, I was just-" Ethan's patience wore thin. "Get lost!" Greta bit her lip and turned away, tears slipping down her cheeks as she hurried back to her desk. Lorna and Tommy, who stepped out of the elevator at that moment, caught the whole scene. They exchanged a quick look and quietly returned to their desks, choosing not to comfort Greta.
Nobody bothered to help Ethan get into Brenna's office. The staff acted as if he weren't even there.
Ethan wasn't concerned about being embarrassed or about the employees watching from down the hall. By now, everyone knew he and Brenna had broken up, so there was nothing left to hide.
Nobody dared whisper about it in his presence, at least not openly. He rapped on the door. "Brenna, letin." Silence greeted him.
He knocked again. “Brenna, I know I made a mistake." ☐☐☐☐☐☐ ¢hap☐☐☐ glno☐☐☐Still, the door stayed closed. But Ethan could hear faint footsteps inside. He figured she was standing just behind the door, trying to keep the office from becoming a spectacle for the staff.
He knocked a third time. “Just givea chance to explain. Please?" Meanwhile, Brenna was seething with frustration. Why was Ethan still here, causing a scene and letting everyone watch this spectacle? Ten minutes had gone by, and he was still here, refusing to leave.
"Brenna, I love you," Ethan continued.
Brenna couldn't take it anymore and angrily opened the door.
Ethan, satisfied with his success, walked into Brenna's office.
As soon as Ethan stepped inside, the hallway was filled with excited m whispers. Employees gossiped nonstop about what had just happened.
Brenna stood near the door, her glare sharp as she said, "Are you doing this O on purpose? Are yox trying to make sure everyone here knows our business? Isn't this mess big enough already?"
