NovelOnlineChapter 1279:
The previous day, Rosie had slipped him another thirty thousand dollars to keep tabs on Ethan’s company, a
generous sum that had clearly boosted his spirits.
Rosie’s renewed connection with him, complete with a steady flow of pocket money, had put a noticeable spring
in his step.
“Happy Birthday, Brenna!” Alec called out, his tone bright.
Brenna offered a polite nod, her demeanor calm. Noticing his unusually chipper demeanor, she went to her office
and fired off a message to Isabella, probing for the reason behind Alec’s good mood.
Isabella’s reply cswiftly.
“Yesterday, Rosie gave him another thirty grand and asked him to play spy. | overheard their call.”
“No wonder he is all smiles today. What did they discuss?” Brenna texted back.
“It seems she wants him to keep an eye on you and Mr. Mitchell. Any updates about you two, he is to report to
her immediately. Oh, and I also heard him filling Rosie in on Gracie’s recent activities,” Isabella replied.

Isabella responded, “Yeah. My dad was spilling all sorts of details about Gracie to Rosie. When she leaves the
office, who she is meeting, her work... everything.”
Just then, a knock at the door cin Brenna’s office. Thiago entered, balancing two elegantly wrapped gift
boxes, which he set gently on her desk.
“From Ellie and me,” Thiago said with a warm smile. “Ellie figured you would be tied up with family dinner
tonight, so she is planning to take you to a meal tomorrow evening.”
At that moment, Joe and Tommy also entered, their arms full of gift boxes.
“Brenna, these are from the whole crew. Happy Birthday!” they said, their enthusiasm filling the room.

“Thanks, everyone.” Brenna’s face lit up at the sight of the pile of gifts, and she felt she ought to do something
in return. She knew she should take everyone out for a meal, but big gatherings weren't her thing. She had no
love for being the center of attention.
After sthought, she said, “I'll treat you all to coffee and desserts! Write down whatever you're craving and
let Lorna know. I'll put in the order later.”
Joe, Tommy, and Thiago chuckled. They'd known Brenna long enough to understand her well. Thiago grinned. “In
that case, we're not holding back!”
Joe laughed. “Honestly, Brenna, you might as well choose for us. We're not that picky. With the number of people
in our company, not many shops could prepare that amount of desserts on short notice. Just pick whatever you
want; we're not hard to please.”
Brenna nodded and turned to Lorna. “Order enough for everyone to have their fill, and make sure there's plenty
of variety so they can take what they like.”
“I've got a few great spots in mind,” Lorna replied. “When it comes to food and drinks, | know my way around.
You can count on me.”
Brenna transferred the money over right away so Lorna could handle the order. News of the treat spread quickly,
and the staff in the company erupted in cheers, filling the group chat with birthday messages for Brenna. Brenna
made sure to thank everyone for their warm birthday wishes.
Even though covering everyone's food set Brenna back tens of thousands, she felt genuinely happy. No one
minded that she hadn't taken them out to eat, and she liked this easy, low-key way of showing appreciation.
