?Chapter 932:


    Realizing she could not back out now, Greta said, “Everyone keeps saying that you and Miss Wilson are romantically involved.”


    She held her breath, waiting for Ethan’s reaction. A part of her worried he might be upset, but her need to know the truth was stronger than her caution.


    She watched Ethan closely, hoping for a hint of what he was thinking. But his face stayed perfectly calm. There was not a single sign of anger or embarrassment. She couldn’t get anything from his expression.


    Since his thoughts remained a mystery, Greta continued, “Brenna spent all of yesterday thinking about that. She was so distracted that she made a couple of mistakes. She even went looking for you in the morning. Mr. Mitchell, is there something going on between you and Miss Wilson?”


    Her nerves jangled as she waited for his reply. Dropping Brenna’s name was a calcted move; she hoped it would draw some kind of answer from him.


    Surely, he would not want people to misunderstand things, right?


    “I see. If there’s nothing else, you should get back to your tasks. Brenna will be back soon,” Ethan said.


    His voice was cool as ever, sidestepping her question entirely.


    Greta felt a wave of disappointment but kept her thoughts to herself.


    She said, “I’ll bring you a cup of coffee.”


    “That won’t be necessary.” Ethan’s tone grew even frostier.


    Sensing that he was unwilling to talk to her anymore, Greta excused herself. Frustration simmered inside her as she left; she was disappointed that she still did not know the truth.


    Soon after, Lorna stepped in, carrying a cup of coffee for Ethan. “Mr. Mitchell, your coffee. I just spoke with Miss Harper. She mentioned she’ll be back in about ten minutes.”


    Ethan replied, “Thank you.” And Lorna left the office.


    Left alone, Ethan reyed the morning in his mind, focusing on how Brenna had acted. If she was having doubts about his rtionship with Gracie, why had she never said anything? Did she really believe there was something going on between him and Gracie?


    A wave of uncertainty washed over him, but when he recalled how Brenna had behaved earlier, he believed nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She had not acted cold, nor had she seemed bothered.


    Even after running through every detail, Ethan still could not figure out what Brenna might be thinking.


    Your next adventure is at g  al n ovels . con


    Ethan grabbed his phone and dialed Rex. “Do you remember when Brenna stopped by my office yesterday?”


    Rex responded quickly, “She came by at around 10:20 in the morning. You were busy in a meeting, so ni spoke with her instead. Brenna said it was not urgent and didn’t want to interrupt you.”


    Once Ethan hung up, the answer became clear to him. Brenna must have been jealous, but she had gone out of her way to hide it. A small, satisfied grin tugged at his lips. He believed that Brenna had fallen for him. She had kept her jealousy quiet, determined not to let him notice it.


    A few minutester, Brenna finally returned.


    Ethan slipped his hands into his pockets and watched her closely. Her face gave nothing away; she seemed calm.
