Chapter 629:

Edging closer to Rex, Minna cast a glance at the other secretaries who, though outwardly immersed in their work, were eavesdropping.

In a hushed, urgent tone, she whispered, “I’m Mr. Mitchell’s date. His mother introduced us. I might just be the future Mrs. Mitchell. Please, take me to meet Mr. Mitchell; I’m certain I can persuade him to change his mind p>

Rex paused, his eyes widening as he processed her words. Instinctively, he assessed Minna, comparing her to Brenna. Minna’s lithe dancer’s physique was undeniable, but in terms of looks, she was far less striking.

And professionally? Rex believed she couldn’t compare to Brenna, either, though that was hardly the point. The point lay in Ethan’s recent, very public declaration of affection for Brenna. Everyone knew about Ethan’s relationship with Brenna, yet now, Minna boldly said she would become Ethan’s future wife.

Rex felt cornered.

He knew Ethan was no fool; the man was surely aware of Minna’s identity and intentions. And still, Ethan had directed her towards the sales department, a clear sign he had no interest in fulfilling Elsa’s matchmaking aspirations.

Rex wrestled with his thoughts. Could leading Minna to see Ethan now jeopardize his own position?

With a firm resolution, he responded, “I’m sorry. Mr. Mitchell has explicitly instructed that you are to be assigned to the sales department p>

Rex had learned something crucial from his years of working under Ethan. Once Ethan made his decision, no one could change his mind.

Minna’s expression turned serious, her voice taking on a chilling firmness. “Did you not hear what I just told you? Take me to him. Now p>

Minna was visibly displeased with Rex’s frosty, all-business attitude. He wasn’t treating her like the soon-to-be Mrs. Mitchell at all. She believed she needed to remind him of that.

She squared her shoulders and met Rex’s gaze head-on, silently declaring that she wasn’t leaving unless he took her to see Ethan. Rex hesitated. He had no desire to get caught up in Ethan’s personal matters or family drama. Yet here he was, sucked into the mess. Right now, it felt like he had two choices: either upset Ethan or risk offending Minna and Ethan’s mother.

After carefully weighing his options, he decided it was better to risk offending Minna.

“Apologies, but I can’t take you to see Mr. Mitchell. Please head to the sales department immediately. If you fail to report within forty-eight hours, we will take it as your formal decision to abandon the position,” Rex said firmly, then walked away to handle other tasks.

Minna stood there, unwilling to back down. After thinking for about thirty seconds, she spun around and marched straight to Ethan’s office. Without so much as a knock, she burst through the door.

Inside, Ethan was on the phone with Elsa, his voice sharp with barely contained fury. “Mom, I’m an adult now. Could you stop meddling in my life? Marriage is a lifelong commitment. Who I choose to be with is my decision, not yours. You have no right to dictate who I marry p>

He had just finished venting when he saw Minna barging into his office. He didn’t even bother to hang up the phone before shouting, his tone laced with authority, “Who let you in? Get out! Neville! Rex! Come here and get her out p>
