Chapter 1170:


    “I want to invest in your robotics project. I believe in its potential,” Rosie dered firmly, pointing out that nopany worldwide had cracked the robotics market yet. She had seen Brenna’s robots highlighted online and realized their potential.


    Brenna replied, “We’re fully funded right now. We don’t need more investors.”


    Rosie raised an eyebrow, skeptical. “That’s nonsense. Who says no to more money? More investors mean shared risks and mutual gains. Plus, with Maxley’s and my connections in Plieca and Opril, I could open doors to new markets for you. You might not like me, but turning down funding is irrational.”


    While Brenna wouldn’t usually reject money, she had no interest in letting Rosie be a shareholder in herpany.


    “You can ce an order for the robots, but I’m passing on the investment. Who knows what you’re scheming?” Brenna said.


    Rosie stood, shooting Brenna a sharp look. “Why do you always think the worst of me? I genuinely see promise in your work.”


    Brenna remained unmoved, her expression cool. Rosie left without finalizing an order.


    After work, as Brenna exited the building, she spotted Darwin at the entrance holding a massive bouquet of roses and a shopping bag with the logo of a luxury skincare brand.


    Employees passing by cast envious nces.


    Brenna gave Darwin a resigned look as she approached. “You’re being way too obvious. People will talk. If Ethan hears about this, he won’t be pleased with you.”


    Darwin handed her the flowers and the shopping bag. “I pulled some strings to get this skincare product for you. It’s top-notch.”


    “Thank you,” Brenna said, calmly inspecting the gifts. The roses were beautiful, their scent instantly lifting her spirits.


    Alec, watching from the steps, walked over. “Brenna, aren’t you dating Mr. Mitchell? How can you ept flowers from another guy right outside the Mitchell Group building? Mr. Mitchell will find out about this in no time.”


    “Mind your own business,” Brenna replied icily, sliding into Darwin’s car.


    Alec quickly dialed Rosie, reporting what he had seen and sending her a sneaky photo he had taken of Brenna and Darwin.

    To avoid Ethan, Darwin steered clear of the tennis club they had gone tost time, opting instead for one with better facilities and more privacy. He and Brenna yed severalpetitive matches, followed by some solo practice.


    During the game, Darwin did not mention anything about Hector.


    Around seven, he said to Brenna, “Tired? There’s a great restaurant nearby. Let’s grab dinner, and I’ll fill you in on Hector.”


    Brenna was in no hurry. The exercise had left her cheeks slightly flushed, enhancing her allure.<fn297a> Follow current nov?ls on F?ndNovel</fn297a>


    “Alright, let’s talk over dinner,” she replied.


    As they headed out, her phone buzzed with a call from Ethan.


    “Have dinner with me tonight?” Ethan asked.


    The noisy chatter in the background suggested he was out socializing. Brenna said, “No, I’ve already got ns. Let’s have dinner tomorrow instead.” She hung up without a flicker of emotion, suspecting Ethan knew she was with Darwin and was just testing her.
