“You should be careful as well. Brenna’s not exactly a good person, either. I’ve been around the Mitchell Group long enough, but she’s never done me any favors,” said Alec, letting out a sigh.

The following morning, Isabella rose early to get ready for her shift. She found Ruby in the kitchen, having already prepared breakfast.

While they ate, Mack leaned forward and asked Isabella, “How did you get Brenna to give you a job?”

With a scoff and a roll of her eyes, Isabella replied, her distaste for Rosie obvious, “Yesterday, while I was at work, Brenna went out for lunch and ran into Rosie. That’s how it started…”

She laid out the entire incident in detail.

Mack took a moment to reflect. “You know, Brenna called me her brother for years. I used to look out for her all the time. If she were hungry, I’d share my meals with her. Now, she’s a big shot, running her own company. If I asked for a management spot in her company, do you think she’d give it to me?”

Alec dismissed the idea with a shake of his head. “Forget it. She doesn’t care about anyone other than herself. If she did, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

“Why not give it a shot? We’ve been through enough already. Maybe she’s ready to let the past go,” Mack said, sounding hopeful.

Still, he was not too optimistic; he remembered his recent trip to the Harper Group—trying to use his old connection with Brenna had only gotten him thrown out.

On her way to work, Brenna sat in the car, listening to Greg vividly describe how Lila’s family had been beaten and driven out of Shirie. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message.

It came from Isabella.

“Mack is coming to see you. He’s hoping you’ll find him a job.” Brenna sent back a short reply.

“Got it.”

As Brenna stepped into the office, she immediately noticed yesterday’s group of successful applicants already assembled and waiting for their new roles. Her arrival caused a ripple of excitement, and the group quickly gathered around her.

For this round of hiring, Brenna had brought in a sizable team—one hundred and fifty engineers. The group included seasoned professionals in their thirties and forties, along with recent graduates holding master’s degrees. There were both men and women among them, each one carefully chosen for their expertise.

“Good morning, Miss Harper!”

“It’s an honor to see you, Miss Harper.” A chorus of greetings rang out.

Brenna addressed the new hires with a friendly nod, saying, “I want to welcome you all to the company. We are growing fast and have plenty of projects lined up. If you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll find this a rewarding place to be.” She gave a short speech and then added, “Please wait here for a moment. Manager Leo Carter will be here soon to give you your assignments. If anything’s unclear, don’t hesitate to ask him.”

Out of nowhere, a white cat appeared and brushed itself against Brenna’s ankle. She knelt to scoop up the cat, her face softening as she cradled it. “And where did you come from, little one?”

Lorna walked over with an update. “Miss Harper, there was a rat problem on the 99th floor yesterday. Quite a few big ones got loose, so Mr. Mitchell arranged for over a hundred cats to be brought in as a solution. Looks like this one wandered off and ended up here.” The cat was fluffy and absolutely adorable.
