StartNovelChapter 1307:
“Of course. I'll cpick you up tomorrow.” Brenna resolved that it was tto sit down with Ellie and Thiago
for a serious discussion about the matter.
“Okay.” Relieved, Patrick perked up, chatting happily with Brenna again.
On Monday morning, Brenna took Patrick to school before heading to work.
In the lobby, she crossed paths with Gracie.
Gracie’s expression soured the moment she saw Brenna. She was supposed to be on leave, but Sonia had
summoned her in—apparently, someone had been circulating photos of her in the hospital, and she needed to
put a stop to it.
“Did you leak those photos?” Gracie demanded sharply once she and Brenna were in the elevator.
“What's that got to do with me? Don’t be absurd. Plenty of people saw you that day, and Waldo’s wife hit you. I'd
say she’s furious enough to leak those photos,” Brenna gave her a sidelong glance.
That shut Gracie up. The logic wasn’t wrong—Waldo’s wife had a reputation for being ruthless, and she was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtentirely capable of such a move.
Her irritation lingered, and she decided she'd bring the matter up with Ethan later to figure out how to stop the
gossip.
Later that morning, a knock sounded on Brenna’s office door before Thiago stepped in.
He looked slightly resigned. “Ellie’s brother is asking for a job here—and for a high salary. | think he could work
as my assistant, and I'd pay him out of my own earnings. Is that okay with you?”
Brenna’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Ellie was just ranting about her brother last night, and he’s already come
running to you?”
Thiago gave a nod. “Yeah, he’s been going on about how much money we make and why we can’t help him out.
Last night, he invitedto dinner and poured his heart out—complaining, crying, saying he’s struggling, and
begging for my support.”

Brenna fixed her gaze on Thiago. “You're not exactly the type to offer help in this kind of situation.”
“If it were my own siblings, | wouldn't bother. | haven't lifted a finger for them all this time; they've done too
many bad things to me. But Ellie's brother? He's different. A bit too ambitious, sure, but he’s a decent guy. With
the right guidance, | think he could improve.” Thiago had a favorable view of Hank. Aside from earning less and
being a touch greedy, he didn’t seem to have any serious flaws.
Thiago believed that with shelp, Hank might actually make something of himself.
He continued, “He is not like my siblings, always looking to leech off me. Hank’s got a way with words, a real
charmer—"
Brenna interjected, unable to hold back, “Yesterday, he told Patrick now that Ellie has a new baby, she will
abandon him. | think he is cunning and trying to trick you into helping him.”
Thiago scratched his head. “He at least deserves a shot, don’t you think? If he’s a lost cause, I'll drop it. | told
him this is his one chance. If he does well, I'll back him for a promotion.”
Brenna shrugged. “I’ve got no issue with it. He's your responsibility. If you want to give him a chance, go for it.
His salary doesn’t need to cout of your pocket—it’ll go through the company’s standard process. We can
cover it.”
Thiago grinned. “Appreciate it. | owe you one.”
Then, he turned to the door and called out, “Cin!”
