Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 770:

Brenda’s sharp gaze flickered with interest. “You wrapped things up fast. How did the meeting go?”

“Smoothly. I’ll have the design proposal ready for you soon.”

Brenda gave a small nod. “Good.”

Rachel then turned to Allan, her tone polite but detached. “I appreciate the ride earlier. But Ms. Myers is the star of the night—you two should catch up.”

With that, she excused herself with effortless grace. Whether she was giving Brenda and Allan space or subtly clearing up any misunderstandings, she made no attempt to clarify.

One thing, however, was certain—she had no interest in Allan. She wasn’t about to become some imagined rival in Brenda’s mind.

For now, her focus remained solely on her career.

Love? That was something she’d rather keep at arm’s length. As the celebration reached its peak, a massive cake was wheeled in, stacked high with nine beautifully decorated layers.

Nine?

Rachel blinked at the unusual number, but her colleagues were already murmuring amongst themselves. “She is turning twenty-nine this year. The nine must be symbolic.”

“That makes sense. I’ve been with the company for a while, and ever since I started, I’ve worked under her. She’s always been dedicated to her job, but I’ve never once heard about her dating anyone.”

“Yeah, she has always been a bit of a mystery when it comes to her love life.”

Brenda had changed outfits. When she reappeared in a sleek red dress and towering heels, the entire room fell silent for a brief second before murmurs of admiration rippled through the crowd.

Someone gasped in surprise. “Wow! I’ve never seen her like this before. That red dress—paired with the rose on her chest—makes her look both elegant and undeniably alluring.”

“Exactly! It’s the kind of confidence that comes with maturity and experience. She’s always so polished and professional, but tonight, she’s absolutely stunning.”noveldrama

“Agreed. She looks breathtaking.”

A wave of cheers spread through the room.

Brenda responded with a soft, knowing smile, raising a hand to her lips in a subtle gesture for quiet. The chatter died down instantly.

“Good evening, everyone.” Her voice carried effortlessly across the room.

“I truly appreciate you all taking time out of your busy schedules to celebrate with me. I hope you have a wonderful evening.” Applause erupted, warm and enthusiastic.

Then came the next tradition—everyone joining in to sing the birthday song.
