Chapter 636: In the pantry, Minna froze, awestruck by the Mitchell Group's extravagance.

Rows of coffee beans, multiple coffee machines, and different brands of milk lined the space.

Minna, who disliked coffee's bitterness and favored sweet instant mixes, felt a bit overwhelmed.

Standing before the array of beans and equipment, she realized this task wasn't as simple as she had assumed.

"It's just coffee. How hard can it be?" she muttered under her breath to boost her confidence.

She grabbed a random bag of beans, dumped them into a machine, and jabbed at buttons she barely understood. After a while, she finally figured out how the machine worked.

She used hot water directly to make the coffee and added two spoonfuls of sugar. Pleased with her effort, she arranged two cups of coffee on a tray and strode confidently to Ethan's office.

Inside the office, Ethan and Brenna sat close, quietly discussing the Harper Group share transfers.

Brenna had moved her chair near Ethan's, their shoulders nearly touching.

"There's no need to transfer the shares to me. I'm not in need of money. If you want to give them to me, save them for a wedding gift," Brenna said lightly.

Her casual mention of marriage warmed Ethan's chest. Her trust in him, unshaken by the day's chaos, filled him with quiet joy.

"All right. As you wish," he replied softly.

Minna entered with the tray, and the atmosphere shifted. Ethan's and Brenna's expressions changed, their smiles vanishing. Ethan looked especially cold. Minna's heart sank. She knew Ethan's attitude toward her, but she couldn't help feeling a bit hurt by it.

Swallowing her frustration, she set the cups of coffee down and said stiffly, "Please enjoy." At that moment, she felt like a lowly servant.

Ethan glanced at the coffee, his eyes narrowing. "What is this?" His voice was frigid. "Do you even know what coffee I drink? This isn't it. I only take Heteron roast. Take this away." Minna's temper flared, convinced that Ethan was messing with her on purpose. She couldn't contain her frustration and blurted out, "It's only coffee! Why fuss over something so trivial? It all tastes the sanyway. Even if I make another cup, it'll still be just coffee."

Her eyes shot daggers at Brenna, convinced she was putting on an act.

She believed Brenna feared her m prolonged presence in the secretarial verx department, worried that her continuous proximity to Ethan might ignite a romantic spark, ultimately leading him to abandon her. Minna interpreted Ethan's criticism as a thinly veiled attempt to appease Brenna's jealousy.

Her gaze hardened with defiance as she met Ethan's eyes, (her stancen n's eyes upyielding.

Ethan's reply was icy, his detachment palpable. "If you find it so challenging to meet this standard, perhaps you should consider returning to the sales department."
