Chapter 97 "Yes. There are issues with the lighting." While I was explaining, Bree had already walked over to the scaffolding where Brandon was working.

"Young man, why aren't you wearing a safety harness? What you're doing is dangerous. Safety always comes first." As the chairman's wife, Bree spotted an issue immediately. Brandon had actually been wearing a safety harness, but he had taken it off when he climbed down earlier. He didn't wear it again as he went up just temporarily.

"Yes, we'll be careful." I then called out to Brandon. "Why did you go up without your safety harness? Cback down now." Brandon climbed down obediently and admitted. "That was my mistake. I'll be more careful next tand won't do it again." He looked like a young boy who had made a mistake and was sincerely owning up to it. For sreason, I felt like I had been too harsh on him.

Bree looked at him. "Safety rules are there to protect you. You owe it to yourself to follow it. You can only love others when you love yourself first, don't you think?" Even though Bree wasn't actively involved in the business, she spoke with wisdom and guidance befitting a chairman's wife.

Somehow, to me, her words carried an additional insinuation.

"I understand, Mrs. Gildon," Brandon replied politely.

"Working all morning must have been tiring. I brought lunch for everyone, please have some." Bree's tone softened into that of a caring mother.

Brandon thanked her and went to eat. As Bree watched him walk away, she remarked, "That young man seems strong and handy." I understood the implication behind her words. She viewed Brandon as a mere laborer. Last night, Chris had been the one expressing his disdain for Brandon. Today, it was Bree's turn.

Chapter 97 I finally realized the purpose of her visit. She must have heard something from Chris and cto see Brandon for herself.

"He's the engineer in charge of all lighting works." I clarified.

However, as the chairman's wife who had met all sorts of influential people, she just gavea faint smile.

"You must be hungry. Let's have lunch in the office. We can talk while we eat." Bree suggested warmly. "Okay." I agreed.

When we reached the office, the driver had already set up the table beautifully with all my favorite food.

I was certain it was different from what Kara and the others were having.

"Thank you, Bree." My voice was filled with gratitude.

"This was the only way to see you since you won't chome," she said as she gestured forto sit. "Dig in, or it won't taste as good when it gets cold.

9 I didn't hold back and started eating.

"Slow down." Bree laughed at my enthusiasm.

"It's so good," I replied, playing along. I wasn't being insincere. I'd just grown accustomed to behaving this way after living with the Gildons for so long.

It made everyone happy, so why not? "Maddie, is there really no hope left between you and Chris?" Bree finally asked.

I froze for a brief second before nodding.

Bree sighed. "It's his loss, and a loss for Zack and I." "No, Bree. It's my loss." I felt a wave of sadness.

rover the wor I had felt Zack and Bree's genuine care While I wasn't too sad about leaving Chris, it was hard to part with these loving figures before 1. me.

"Sigh, it's no use forcing a relationship. Since you already made up your mind, I

won't press you any longer." Her words brought a sense of relief as I gense had been worried she would insist forcefully.

As I lowered my head to drink ssoup, she continued, "Even though you and Chris won't be together, I still hope to pair you with a good man." with a good man." She couldn't be hinting atand Conrad, could she?

"Bree, I'm not interested in getting into another relationship." Kquickly interjected cutting off any further X
