Chapter 907: An alarm pierced the tense silence. The elevator had exceeded its limit. "Miss, we're rushing to the airport to pick someone up, and time's tight. Could you catch the next one?" the man in a gray suit at the front politely explained to Brenna.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStepping out without protest, Brenna said, "Okay." Recognition flickered as she realized the man was Milton, one of the Mitchell Group's vice presidents and Ethan's trusted confidant. She had seen his profile in Ethan's office before.
Thiago's frown deepened as he watched the scene. "Ethan really has the company's top executives welcoming Gracie. He certainly values her." A chill crept into Brenna's expression, and she felt down.
A few steps away, Tommy and Joe, along with a handful of colleagues from the Night Studio, waited for the elevator.
Tommy spoke up, his tone firm as he challenged Thiago's perspective. "That's reading too much into it. The fact that the whole team's going shows this is strictly business. If Ethan's there, it's for the company, not for Gracie personally. Wouldn't you agree, Brenna?" Brenna's thoughts were in disarray. Usually, she wouldn't miss such a simple point. But this time, she needed Tommy to point that out for her.
How could she have missed something so obvious? Relief washed over her, lifting her spirits. "Right, if Ethan were sneaking around to meet her alone, then I'd have reason to worry." Thiago scoffed. "Or maybe he's just using the executives as a cover. That way, he can meet Gracie without worry." Tommy retorted, “That makes no sense. If Mr. Mitchell wanted a private moment with Gracie, why bother dragging half the team along?" Thiago shot Tommy a pointed look. “Just wait. After the airport and the dinner, I bet Ethan takes it a step further. He'll walk Gracie right up to her hotel room, maybe even take her to his place."

Had he discovered something? Brenna asked, "Why are you saying that?" "Just wait. Don't go to bed early tonight. I have something to show you," Thiago replied.
Down in the underground parking lot, Thiago turned to Brenna. "What's the plan? Are we going to keep an eye on Ethan and Gracie?"
"No. The land auction takes place tomorrow. We should get srest tonight and prepare for repare for it. The Russell Corporation and the Wagner Group are both eager to acquire it, so the competition is fierce. Let's not get distracted by trivial matters," Brenna answered calmly.
A faint smirk crossed Thiago's face as he stepped closer. "Sure. Still l C by arrange for someone to keep an eye on them. You'll know right away if anything pops up."
