BossNovelChapter 954: Ellie's patience snapped. "So she wants her employees to be impressed; what does that have to do with you? You going jewelry shopping with a woman who is not your girlfriend is bound to spark rumors. People might think you and Gracie are more than just friends." A chill lingered in Ethan's eyes as he looked at Ellie, silently deciding that she and Thiago were truly a match- equally unbearable in his mind.
Brushing off Ethan's cold stare, Ellie fired back, her words even sharper than before, “What's with the look? Did I say anything wrong? If I remember correctly, you've already got a girlfriend; yet here you are, out shopping with another woman. Only a boyfriend or a husband shops with a woman like this. If you like Gracie so much, why don't you just break up with Brenna and be with her instead?" Shoving herself between Ethan and Brenna, Ellie tugged Brenna to the side, planting herself firmly as a barrier.

With a soft nod, Brenna signaled that she saw struth in Ellie's words. Gracie said, "That's not the case at all. Please don't get the wrong idea. I did pursue Ethan once, but he never responded to my feelings. There's nothing romantic between us. We're just close friends." Deep down, Gracie understood that Brenna no longer believed everything Ethan said without question. That was exactly what she wanted, and she marveled at how easily she'd created doubt between the pair.
She almost wanted to laugh out loud.
She believed Brenna must be jealous of her relationship with Ethan.
"You're just close friends?” Ellie repeated. She was no fool; she understood the implications clearly. "Do you think I will believe that?" Hearing that, Gracie could barely contain her excitement. She believed Brenna was about to break up with Ethan, and that would mean her plan had worked.
A part of her even wished Brenna would cover and slap her.
If that happened, Ethan would undoubtedly take her side, comfort her, and put all the blon Brenna.
A deep frown carved lines into Ethan's face. "Miss Moore, I'd appreciate it if you chose your words carefully. There's nothing between Gracie andbeyond friendship. Please don't twist the situation."

She then turned to Brenna. "Brenna, just break up with Ethan." Brenna, however, didn't want to break up with Ethan, as that would play right into Gracie's hands.
So, she gently nudged Ellie aside and said, “I believe in him. He's never betrayed me, and I doubt he ever will. As for Gracie, if Ethan had feelings for her, the two of them would have been together ages ago.” Turning to Ethan, her voice softened. "Isn't that right?"
Relief finally found Ethan, loosening the worry that had been tightening his chest. The thought of Brennan believing Ellie and ending things with him had scared him for a moment. "Yes, I knew you'd understand me. Gracie is nothing more than a friend to me. There's nothing romantic between us, and there never will be."
