Chapter 661:
Flashing a polite smile, she said gently, “Hello, you are one of the secretaries here, right? Could you please tell me your name p>
Alani replied with a smooth, professional smile, “Hello! I’m Alani from the CEO’s secretarial office. Is there something I can help you with p>
Greta replied, “Hi, I’m Greta from the Night Studio’s design department. Ms. Harper would like to see you. Oh, and by any chance, do you know where Minna is p>
Alani shook her head. “No clue. She hasn’t been working much, and I don’t know where she’s wandered off to p>
Greta didn’t push further and passed on the message. “Martha, Alani, Ms. Harper wants you and your team to go to her office. She needs to talk to you about something p>
Greta couldn’t help but like Alani. She was effortlessly charming and easy-going. Moreover, she worked in the CEO’s secretarial department. If she could forge a friendship with Alani, wouldn’t that get her one step closer to Ethan?
Meanwhile, Martha, keenly aware of Brenna’s status, assumed there was more work to be done. Without a fuss, she set her cleaning supplies aside and motioned for her team to follow her into Brenna’s office.
“Hello, Ms. Harper. Is there something we can help with? Did we miss anything that needs another round of cleaning?” Martha asked.
Brenna walked toward Martha, carrying two large bags. “Thank you again for your help today. I know this wasn’t part of your regular tasks, and I really appreciate you going above and beyond for me. Please, take these and share them with the team. It’s just a small token of my appreciation p>
Martha accepted the bags without hesitation, her smile genuine. “Thank you, Ms. Harper. Honestly, we were just doing our job. You’re too generous p>
She noticed the fancy bakery label and instantly realized the goodies inside the bags must be expensive. It wasn’t every day that someone of Brenna’s stature treated the cleaning crew with such genuine respect. Everyone on the team had a good impression of Brenna because of this.
Once Martha and her team had exited, Alani stepped into the office. Aware of Brenna’s importance to Ethan, Alani was especially courteous toward her.

Brenna handed her another bag from the table with a warm smile. “Take this. You’ve worked hard today. It’s nothing fancy, just a little something p>
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Alani excused herself.
Meanwhile, Minna had been idling impatiently in the lobby on the ground floor of the Mitchell Group headquarters, waiting for Elsa. More than an hour had passed. She watched as groups of people bustled about, hauling things back and forth into the elevators, yet Elsa was still nowhere in sight.
Growing impatient, Minna pulled out her phone and called Elsa.
Elsa was busy taking care of her mother.
Belén was particular about cleanliness. Her home was always spotless. Elsa’s brother had thoughtfully hired a housekeeper to ensure Belén’s daily needs were meticulously met.
Elsa couldn’t help feeling frustrated after being lied to by Belén. She understood her mother simply wanted to see her, but she still felt somewhat manipulated. She had wanted to complain about this. But the moment Belén saw her, she unleashed a rant, scolding Elsa for not visiting since retiring.
