NovelTrueChapter 904: Brenna's thoughts swirled in chaos. The new information made it impossible for her to focus on her work the entire morning.
Eventually, she decided to stop overthinking and face the issue head-on. Her questions needed answers, and only Ethan could provide them. Leaving her office, she stepped into the elevator, her heart pounding as she rode straight up to Ethan's floor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStepping out of the elevator, Brenna immediately sensed the unusual hush that filled the corridor. Instead of the usual chatter, the secretarial staff were glued to their monitors, working with focus.
Not a trace of the buzz about Gracie seemed to touch this floor, though the rest of the building had been alive with whispers. It was as if no one here had caught wind of the latest rumors. Brenna couldn't tell if they were genuinely unaware of the matter or simply too absorbed in their tasks to engage in idle chatter.
Alani glanced over and offered Brenna a polite smile before walking toward her.
"Ms. Harper, is there anything you need? Mr. Mitchell is tied up in a meeting right now," said Alani.
Ethan's feelings for Brenna weren't a secret to Alani. He had told her to notify him right away if Brenna ever showed up, no matter what he was in the middle of.
Brenna subtly glanced at the CEO's office. The door was closed. Without missing a beat, she replied, keeping her voice calm, "I just wanted to see how things were going up here." Alani noticed that Brenna seemed reluctant to share what was truly on her mind.
"If you'd like, I can let the CEO know you're here. He specifically asked to be informed whenever you visit," Alani said gently.
Brenna managed a small, appreciative smile. "That's not necessary. I just heard something about your company's tenth anniversary celebration." Discover new content now gVlCheerfully, Alani nodded. "We've been planning it for a couple of months. The event is set for January 1st." Normally, Brenna preferred speaking with Ethan directly, but now, she found herself trying to get information from Alani.
She continued, "On my way up, I noticed people carrying supplies. Is everything for the celebration?" A knowing look crossed Alani's face, as though she understood Brenna's true purpose. "Sof it, yes. The rest is for our new vice president's office." It felt strange for Brenna to be fishing for information like this, but with Ethan unavailable, she had little choice.
"So, the company is bringing in another vice president? There aren already three, and a feare all of them are exceptionally capable. Why hire another one?" Brenna asked.
Alani now fully understood what Brenna was really asking about. The matter wasn't something Ethan had E meant to hide from her.
Alani decided to share what Ethan had instructed. "The new vice president is actually one of the e original founders. Gracie Wilson, m from the Wilson Group, is taking the position. The CEO asked us to set up her office right here on this floor."
