Chapter 67 Have a Firm Grasp on Things

"Mr. Stuart, you certainly have a firm grasp on things," Ranita replied casually.

Brendon's heart felt like it might burst, leaving him speechless in response.

The remainder of the journey was filled with silence between the two of them.

As they approached Stuart's Corp, Ranita suddenly remembered something. "Mr. Stuart, by staying at Stuart's Corp, I've caused trouble for you and Miss Murphy. Shouldn't we be searching for a replacement from HR?" NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Finally finding his voice, Brendon responded calmly, "Absolutely! HR has already reached out to headhunters to find a replacement before you depart."

Brendon was becoming stubborn. He couldn't fathom how a company as large as Stuart's Corp couldn't function without Ranita.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait patiently!" With that, Ranita exited the car and headed straight for the elevator without even glancing back at Brendon.

Confused and angry, he followed behind her.

In the past, she would have waited by the car door for him to accompany her. Was she truly unwilling to grant him any more patience? His expression turned cold as he watched her step into the employee elevator without acknowledging him.

"Wait! Why are you taking the employee elevator?"

Brendon managed to wedge his foot between the closing doors.

Ranita raised an eyebrow at him. "Mr. Stuart, this is quite dangerous."

"Come out!"

Ranita remained unmoved.

Brendon's emotions were typically steady, neither sad nor happy, but now Ranita had provoked him to the point where he felt like a hot air balloon ready to ascend with a single spark!

Ranita pointed to the surveillance camera above, raising her eyebrows and signaling him to let go quickly, or they would be caught gossiping.

Brendon clenched his jaw and took a step, entering the elevator.

Fortunately, although the staff elevator and exclusive elevator were separate, they were identical in specifications, and there was no peculiar smell. Brendon could accept it.

Ranita remained silent, catching a glimpse of the man's reflection on the elevator wall from the corner of her eye. He stood tall and lean, resembling a sturdy pine tree.

The weather wasn't excessively hot, and he wore a long-sleeved white shirt with the top button fastened, no tie, but the button reached the very top. His long and alluring neck, whether intentional or not, added an extra touch of allure, causing her heart to flutter.

"Have you seen enough?"

Suddenly, Ranita was caught.

"I wasn't looking at you!" Ranita instinctively denied it, but her ears hidden in her dark hair turned red. Her skin felt as if it had been set ablaze, making her head spin.

"You wasn't?" Brendon scoffed. "Do you want to review the surveillance footage?"

This man was so petty.

Previously, she would occasionally get distracted and glance at him, but he never seemed to notice, like a robot solely focused on what was in front of him. Now, he was sharp-eyed...

"Mr. Stuart, don't joke around! Besides me, you're the only other living person in the elevator. It's normal for me to occasionally glance at you." Ranita tried to salvage her dignity, swearing that if Brendon continued to argue, she would genuinely pack up and leave tomorrow.

Brendon seemed convinced and remained silent.

However, Ranita could sense that the man had been staring at her the entire time. His gaze was already piercing, but being looked at so directly made her feel as though he was scrutinizing every inch of her from head to toe. Ranita's heart raced, and she frowned in displeasure. "Mr. Stuart, have you seen enough?"

To her surprise, Brendon retorted with her own words verbatim and even flashed a smirk. "Besides me, you're the only other living person in the elevator. It's normal for me to occasionally glance at you."
