After spending a moment playing with it, Brenna handed the cat back to Lorna.
“Make sure it gets something to eat,” she said.
Moments later, Brenna’s phone buzzed with a call from the front desk. Reception let her know that Mack had
arrived and was asking to see her.
Brenna told them to send him up.
Mack soon made his way into Brenna’s office.
He had gone out of his way to look sharp for the occasion.
“You've set yourself up here, Brenna. | couldn't help but notice the crowd outside—what, about five hundred
employees now? Just how much does your company pull in every month?” Mack spoke casually, treating Brenna
not as a CEO but as the young girl the Barrett family had once taken advantage of.
Brenna offered no immediate reply. She simply watched as Mack roamed about, inspecting her office at his
leisure.
Mack continued, “Word is, you've done well for yourself. You've landed sbig contracts recently, and | heard
your profits are up. You even managed to take sresources from Denis. Clearly, you are skilled. With all this
growth, wouldn't it make...”
“Sense to bring in someone you know to handle affairs for you?” Brenna’s tone remained even and cool. “We just
finished hiring. Every position is filled.”
Realizing she wasn’t going to make this easy, Mack tried a gentler approach. “You remember | used to be the
vice president of the Barrett Group. Why not lethelp you out? You gave Isabella a job; surely you can do the
sfor me. Think back to when you were a child at the Barrett house. Our parents never let you eat enough,
but I'd sneak you food. | always looked out for you. You should feel grateful toward me.”

Mack reminded Brenna of his past kindness toward her.
Brenna sat quietly for a moment, weighing his words. “So, you really believe you were kind tobefore?”
With a low chuckle, Mack replied, “Absolutely. | wasn't like Alec or Ruby. They were harsh and used you, but |
always tried to protect you.”
Brenna fixed her gaze on Mack, wondering how he could carry himself with such superiority in front of her. He
oozed arrogance, as though he believed she owed him something. It felt as if she were the one asking for his
support, not the other way around.
