Chapter 1159:
Brenna joined in, her chuckle sly. “Pick up swomen’s clothes, too, nothing fancy, just whatever you find.
We'll need them for later. We...”
Leaning in, Lorna caught the rest of Brenna’s plan and nodded, ready to carry out every detail. “Got it, I'll take
care of everything. I'm just a little worried about all the job applicants milling around outside. | need to help
interview them.”
Confidence radiated from Brenna as she waved away the concern. “Don’t stress. Just go.” A knowing smirk
curled her lips. “Does Gracie think I'm someone she can push around? She'll learn there are consequences for
picking a fight with me.”
Morning slipped away as Brenna worked straight through until noon. When her stomach finally growled, she
made her way down to the cafeteria.
Noise and chatter filled the space. Brenna immediately spotted Ethan at a table. The others dared not sit close to
him. Judging by the scowl on his face, he was in a bad mood.
Directly across from him sat Gracie, apparently unfazed by the tension.
“Hey, Brenna!” Ethan's voice cut through the clamor. He lifted a hand and waved her over.

Making her way to the table, Brenna noticed he’d already set out lunch for her.
Hostility burned in Gracie’s eyes as she sized up Brenna. “I'm having lunch with Ethan. Isn't it a bit inappropriate
for you to join us, Miss Harper?”
Rising from his seat, Ethan gathered up both plates of food. Then, he and Brenna moved to another table.
Disbelief twisted Gracie’s expression. “Ethan, you misunderstood. | only wanted her to leave, not you.”
Determined not to be left out, she snatched up the bowls of chicken soup and followed after them. A sly glance
at Brenna’s pristine white suit gave her an idea. Suddenly, she faked a stumble, angling the soup toward Brenna.
But with a single quick step, Brenna swiftly stepped aside.
Hot soup splattered across an empty chair, missing Brenna entirely.
Flustered, Gracie stammered, shock flashing across her face. She had not expected Brenna to react so fast, and
her plan fizzled before it even began.
She wanted to try again, but the bowls were empty.

Brenna said to her coolly, “I am having lunch with Ethan. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to join us?”
Ethan silently observed the sticky mess on the chair. He said nothing to Gracie, only picked up the plates and
switched to yet another table.
Without hesitation, Brenna followed him.
Stunned and humiliated, Gracie remained rooted in place for a moment. She then shamelessly followed again,
but Ethan stated coldly, “Stop following us. | want to have lunch with my girlfriend.”
Desperation tinged Gracie's words.

Ethan didn’t soften. “I only want to have lunch with my girlfriend.”

Ethan sat down and scanned the table. He then signaled Neville over with a raised hand.
