Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThiago, sharing in the good mood, let out a light laugh. "Now that the holidays are near and our team's expanding, have you made any plans about what we are going to do?" Brenna replied, "My mom wantsto celebrate Christmas with the Harper Group. Maybe I can invite everyone here to join me?" Shaking his head, Thiago replied, "That might not work out so well. Lettake charge of arranging the Christmas party. There's no need for you to stress about it, especially since you're not big on gatherings." A quiet sound of agreement cfrom Brenna. "Our company has done well this year. Let's set aside two million for bonuses and pick up sprizes for a raffle.” As Brenna exited the elevator after work, she was greeted by a scene of chaos. Two male receptionists and two female receptionists, along with the entire security team stationed on the ground floor, were holding back a restless crowd. At the front of the crowd stood Hector, a white bandage stretching across his left cheek, giving him a menacing air.
With fury burning in his eyes, Hector seized the young male receptionist by the collar and spoke in a cold voice, "Where's Gracie? Bring her out now. Don't think hiding her will stop me." Receptionists and security guards faced Hector's bodyguards head-on, ready for anything and refusing to back down. Anyone could tell his bodyguards were nothing to mess with. They exuded an intimidating presence.
Even with his collar clutched, the young receptionist responded without flinching, "Sir, please let go of me. This isn't helping anyone. If you keep this up, we'll have no choice but to call the police." Hector's demeanor shifted the moment he spotted Brenna, and he quickly acted as if he didn't know her. Brenna shot him a brief look and walked over. "What's happening here?" Relief swept over the receptionists now that someone with authority had arrived. Hector loosened his grip, letting the receptionist go.
Turning to the receptionist, Brenna also pretended she didn't know Hector. "Who is this man, and what does he want?" The receptionist picked up on Brenna's tone and realized that neither she nor anyone else seemed to know who Hector really was.
Alec approached Brenna, lowering his voice. "Brenna, this man claims he's Gracie's husband, but none of us have ever seen him before. He's demanding to see her, accusing us of hiding her here, and making threats if we don't cooperate." Unfazed, Brenna kept her cool. She wasn't sure what had brought Hector here today. And when they had met yesterday, Hector had seemed fine. Why was he now injured in the face?
"Sir, which Gracie are you looking for? We have thousands of employees in this building; several people have that name. If you really are her husband, you should know more than just her name. Why not tell us her job title or what she looks like?"
"The receptionists can help you from there. Or you could call her directly to ask her to cdown. Creating chaos here isn't the right way to do things," Brenna said.
Growing agitated, Hector jabbed a finger at his bandaged cheek. "I don't know what position she holds. All I know is she's hiding in this building. Bring her out, or I'll force my way in. Take a look at this-my lovely wife did this to me. She sent someone to kill me. I ended up with four stitches after a bullet barely missed. I'm lucky to be alive now. I'm here to confront her."
