Chapter 826:
“The demand’s too high,” Thiago said, frustration creeping into his voice. “One facility can’t manage everything on its own. The Mitchell Group owns a medical manufacturing branch that could take over some of the load. Why don’t you talk to Mr. Mitchell about this?” Seated across from Brenna with his arms folded, Thiago wasn’t just making a suggestion; he was pushing for a real chance. “If the request came from you, he would prefer to work with us. Our prosthetics are complex, and small factories just aren’t equipped for them p>
Brenna stayed quiet, contemplating whether Thiago’s proposal was feasible.
Noticing the pause, Thiago spoke again, gently but firmly. “One word from you, and Mr. Mitchell can pass the message to his team. I’ll manage everything else—talks, pricing, logistics. The issue is that their current production schedule is packed. They’re willing to take us, but not sooner than six months out p>
Eventually, Brenna gave a single nod, her voice calm. “Alright, I will talk to him p>
Minutes after Thiago stepped out, Ethan arrived.
Greta, who sat in the cubicle closest to Brenna’s office, naturally noticed Ethan’s arrival. It had been days since he’d visited this side of the office. Brenna hadn’t needed anything from him, and there hadn’t been a reason for either of them to cross paths lately. That also meant Greta hadn’t seen Ethan in nearly a week. She left her desk and headed to the break room.
Inside, Lorna was finishing up rinsing the cup Thiago had just used.
“Greta.” Without bothering to smile, Lorna acknowledged Greta with a cool greeting. In recent weeks, most of the staff had come to understand Greta’s personality, and not many people liked her. As far as Lorna was concerned, Greta was just her colleague.
Every time Ethan dropped by, Greta had noticed that Lorna was the one who brought in the coffee—the exact blend Brenna liked.
Hoping to carve out a moment with Ethan for herself, Greta had been practicing at home nonstop, determined to master the art of coffee making to win him over.
She skillfully measured out the right amount of coffee beans, placed them in the machine, brewed the coffee, and added milk and sugar.

When Lorna caught sight of this, her expression tightened. Everyone in the office knew that Brenna’s coffee beans were practically sacred. No one touched them without permission.
Greta should know this. Yet here she was, using Brenna’s personal stash. Whether it was for herself or for someone else in the CEO’s office, Lorna didn’t know.
But soon, she realized that Greta was probably doing this for Ethan. She wanted him to drink the coffee she made.
Lorna asked, “You’ve gotten pretty good with the coffee machine, huh? Planning to drink that yourself p>
Greta didn’t flinch. “Can’t I treat myself once in a while p>
