We'll need to expand this space." Thiago took a look and nodded. "Makes sense. I've got a meeting downstairs scheduled for noon with the designer, Lyndon Wilde. But if you want to make changes, we probably won't be able to confirm everything today. Why not join us in the meeting and share your thoughts?" She agreed, "Sure, it'll be faster to sort things out face to face." Before they could get into the specifics, a knock sounded at the door, and Lorna stepped in, balancing two cups of coffee. She handed one to each of them, then said, "Gracie's here. She says there's something she needs to discuss with you, Ms. Harper." Brenna couldn't begin to guess what Gracie wanted. Could it be about asking her to give up on Ethan? "Did you ask her what it's about?" Brenna asked.
Lorna's displeasure was barely concealed. "I did. I asked her if she had an appointment and what this was about. Apparently, she wants an entire floor to herself for the Mitchell Group's overseas venture capital projects. Seriously, what does that have to do with us?" An icy look crossed Brenna's face. She met Thiago's eyes, both of them clearly fed up with Gracie's audacity. Thiago let out a derisive snort. "Just tell her we are tied up and have plans outside the company. If she really needs to talk, she can set an appointment in advance next time." Lorna nodded, agreeing it was a wise decision.
A glance at his watch told Thiago it was already half-past ten. His frustration showed. “Let's just head over to my office. I can't believe Gracie thinks we'll just hand her a whole floor. And what was Ethan thinking, letting her waltz in?" Brenna gathered her paperwork and slipped out of the office. In the hallway, Lorna blocked Gracie's path, maintaining a professional smile. "Please schedule an appointment next time. Sorry, my boss is unavailable at the moment." Spotting Brenna, Gracie called out, desperate to stop her, "Miss Harper! Wait, I need to talk to you!" Unmoved, Brenna answered coolly, "I have urgent matters to handle right now. We can talk sother time." Without breaking stride, she made her way straight to the elevator. Thiago quickly blocked Gracie's way, saying, "Excuse us." Then, he and Brenna entered the elevator together.
Unwilling to give up, Gracie slipped into the elevator at the last second, speakinglina rush.
"Look, it's just a simple request. You're using two floors, and you don't even have three hundred people on staff. Surely you can spare one floor for me, right?"
Brenna's face tightened with anger. Just because her team was smaller, she was expected to hand over an entire floor? That was absurd. She had already told Joe and Tommy to post job listings earlier in the week, and applications had been flooding in. Pretty soon, she would have more staff than she could fit. Honestly, she thought the current space was not enough for her.
