They went several times. Their conversation looked light, even pleasant, but it was clear they had done nothing inappropriate.
Ethan said, “I know I shouldn't have met with her alone. There's no excuse for breaking my word. It won't happen again. Next time, every meeting with her will be in public places. I hope you can forgive me." Ethan spoke with gentle sincerity, very different from his usual commanding presence that Thiago knew.
A sudden cough from Thiago broke the moment. "Am I invisible? Maybe you two would rather I step out so you can finish this discussion?" Both Ethan and Brenna glanced at him. Brenna said, "No need for that; I'm getting off work now." Ethan said to Thiago, "We're grabbing dinner together. Want to calong?" Thiago felt resigned. "Do you really wanttagging along as a third wheel? But if you insist, I will join you." "Just leave. Ellie's probably waiting for you," said Brenna, giving him a pointed look.

Brenna gave him a cold look and replied, "Alright, I'll be there. Is there anything else?" Your favorite tales live on gVl"That's all for now. I'll see you at the event," Gracie replied, her tone polite as ever, before ending the call. The moment the call disconnected, any trace of her smile faded as she tugged her sleeve down to hide a dark bruise on her arm. Resolve flashed in her eyes. She was determined to try to win Ethan's heart no matter what. Without wasting a moment, Ethan held Brenna's hand. "What would you like to eat tonight?"
Brenna was still in a bad mood, so she just shrugged. "Anything is fine." Night had already settled by the tBrenna made it home, well past nine o'clock. Giselle went to her room to talk to her.
