Chapter 946
946:
Rex, who had been frowning, finally spoke. “When I try to appease my girlfriend, she always says she wants to see sincere effort.” Several women around the table quickly agreed, nodding.
That gave Alani a sudden jolt of hope. “Right, maybe Miss Harper is just speculating; she didn’t actually see anything. What if Mr. Mitchell offered to show her the security footage? Would that convince her?”
A secretary across the room shook her head. “No way. If Miss Harper watches the recordings and sees them alone together, she’ll only get angrier.”
Alani’s panic grew. “What am I supposed to do now? I can’t lose this job. Someone, please, just give me something that will work!”
Just then, they noticed Ethan emerging from his office, and they fell silent. Ethan had overheard every word they had said, and a plan had already formed in his mind. “Back to work, all of you.”
As Ethan stepped into the elevator, a stern look on his face, Alani’s relief was almost palpable. She believed he wouldn’t fire her now.
Ethan walked out of the elevator to find Greta and Lorna approaching him. Greta quickly said, “Mr. Moreno is with Brenna in her office. She looked really upset when she came back.”
Lorna shot Greta a pointed look.
Ethan nodded and strode straight into Brenna’s office without knocking.
The moment Ethan stepped inside, Brenna’s cold gaze locked with his. Without hesitation, she snatched her bag from the table and headed for the door to leave.
Across the room, Thiago blinked in surprise at Ethan’s arrival. In his mind, as a proud CEO, Ethan wouldn’t come to apologize to Brenna like this.
Yet, Ethan had shown up, displaying genuine sincerity to explain things to Brenna.
Trying her best to sound calm, Brenna said to Ethan, “Move aside. I’d like to leave now.”
Her frustration lingered over Ethan’s broken promise—he wasn’t supposed to meet Gracie alone.
Thiago felt awkward but couldn’t leave since Ethan blocked the doorway, preventing Brenna from exiting. He was trapped there, watching the scene unfold.
“Please listen to me,” Ethan said, holding Brenna’s arms as she tried to break free from his grip and leave the office.

Every bit of his focus was on making her listen, careful not to hurt her but intent on keeping her from leaving.
“Could you please at least let me explain things to you?” Ethan asked, hoping she would stop resisting.
Stopping her struggle, Brenna met his gaze and said, “Alright, then explain. Why were you alone with Gracie in your office? And why did your secretary refuse to let me go inside your office? What were you hiding?”
Watching Brenna’s angry expression, Ethan felt a bit delighted. Her anger proved that she cared about him. She was jealous of seeing him with another woman.
Despite that, Ethan knew he couldn’t let Brenna continue to be angry with him. He fished out his phone, having already prepared the proof she needed, and played the security footage in his office for her.
“Everything that happened was strictly business. If you don’t believe me, you can watch it for yourself,” Ethan said, offering the phone for her to see.
