NovelEndChapter 189 Chapter 189 Kenny Mitchell Braeden brought Brenna into a spacious office that gave off a strong military vibe. The furniture was arranged with uniform fashion. Not a single item looked out of place.
Accompanying them was an administrative officer in uniform. She offered Brenna a faint smile, her eyes bright with admiration.
Brenna caught on quickly. She reached into her bag and handed over a USB drive she had prepared earlier. "There's only one folder on it. It contains all the design concepts tied to this project." "Print 32 copies and take them to the conference room," Braeden instructed.
He then motioned toward a chair across from his desk and said to Brenna, "Please, have a seat. Would you like water, coffee, or cola?" Brenna replied with a poised smile, "Coffee will be fine." The entire office was done up in military green. The desk, the shelves, and even the chairs followed the scolor scheme. The leather sofa matched, too.
Naturally, the items on the table carried the stone, though each one varied slightly in shade. Still, they were arranged with purpose, making the space seem aesthetically pleasing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter taking it all in, Brenna slowly unzipped her backpack. She pulled out her laptop and opened the design sketches for Braeden to see.
Braeden poured a glass of coffee and handed it to Brenna before turning his attention to the de Sketches.
A few minutes later, the female administrative officer returned and knocked once before stepping inside. "Mr. Foster, the documents have been delivered. Everyone's in the conference room now." Braeden nodded and then said to Brenna, "Let's head to the meeting and go over your design proposal." The conference room was sleek and built with a militarized edge. Thirty young men filled the space, all unfamiliar to Brenna. Each one carried himself with confidence.
As Brenna stepped inside, a warm round of applause greeted her.
She met everyone's eyes with a steady smile. But when her eyes landed on the sixth face on the left, she froze. She almost blurted out Ethan's name.
-mblance was uncanny. From his build to the way he carried himself, the man looked almost exactly 10:53 Wearing the military uniform, the man looked refined. There was warmth in his expression and depth in his eyes that pulled her in.
Brenna was unable to look away. Her stare on the man lingered fong enough for others in the room to notice. Braeden picked up on it, too. He turned toward the man and said, "Kenny Mitchell, introduce yourself." The moment Brenna heard the name, something clicked. The officer whooked just like Ethan shared his last name.
But she couldn't recall Ethan ever mentioning a brother. Wasn't he an only child? Then again, she wasn't entirely sure. She had never really asked Ethan about siblings.
Kenny didn't seem to mind Brenna's staring. In fact, he looked rather pleased by it. Then, he formally introduced himself, saying, "My name's Kenny Mitchell, captain of the second squadron of the flight team." The words snapped Brenna back to the present. Realizing she had lost her composure for a moment, she smiled awkwardly and explained, "Sorry. He looks just like a friend of mine. I was in a daze for a moment." Braeden chuckled and motioned toward the first seat on the right. "No need to apologize. Kenny does have a twin. You probably mistook him for his brother." The Mitchell family had deep roots in the military. Brenna had treated Vincent before and met a few of the Mitchell elders, but they had all been in civilian clothes at the time. She hadn't thought to ask about their ranks or roles.
Looking at Kenny now, she figured he must be Ethan's brother.
She nodded slightly and asked Kenny, "Have you been stationed here for a long time?" "Yes. I haven't left here for six months," Kenny answered.
Brenna nodded. Now, she understood that the man was not Ethan but his brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe made a mental note to ask Ethan about this later.
The meeting stretched on for six hours.
By the tBrenna stepped out of the conference room, it was already past five in the afternoon.
Braeden arranged for a helicopter to take Brenna back. When she returned to the studio, Tommy met her at the door with a worried dlook He pointed toward her office. "Your foster mother's here. She has been making a scene, saying she's your mom. We told her you weren't here, but she refused to leave. She said she'd wait for you no matter how long it took. She has been here since this morning and still won't leave." Brenna's mood soured. Ruby was like a shadow she couldn't shake.
She walked into her office and found Ruby seated in her chair, legs m Chcit legs m crossed and sipping coffee. She was casually flipping through the papers on the desk. "Who said you could touch my documents?" Brenna asked with a cold expression.
Ruby shot up at once. The smugness in her face faded, replaced by a forced smile. She rush ve rushed overton Brenna's side and said, "Brenna, where have you been? You've been out all day, and no one was with you.
