Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356: 356-My Bossy Boss

Verity:

Jenna had hit the right nerve.

After Jaguar left, she returned with the book she had carried away so casually, as if none of it mattered, and gave me a small smile.

"That should make him think," she said with a shrug.

"Be careful, Jenna. The brothers really care about her," I warned.

I was trying to make her understand that just because she was a victim didn’t mean they would keep listening to accusations against Gigi forever.

It was obvious that the brothers would never truly believe anything against her unless they had some kind of proof.

"I don’t care, Verity. And I’m pretty sure you agree with me that there is something extremely suspicious about that woman," Jenna replied.

Her words made me lower my gaze.

She wasn’t wrong.

We had talked about Gigi many times, especially about how cunning she could be.

But it was also true that I couldn’t openly tell Jenna whether I had any plans concerning her.

Not because I didn’t trust her.

I simply had to keep those thoughts to myself for now.

For the rest of the day, I had to work at the office, and this time, I was on my own.

With new information coming out about people sending threats to Gigi’s family, all three brothers were occupied.

That left me working with Mr. Bruno.

Bruno was a little sketchy, to be honest.

The first time I saw him, something about him made me uneasy.

He didn’t seem like the type to remain a silent observer.

He looked like someone who would always have something to say.

I realized I was right the moment he arrived at the office and started asking me all sorts of questions about work.

At first, I didn’t think much of it. They were work-related questions, after all, and that was part of his job.

Then lunchtime came.

"So, Miss Verity, I was thinking we could have lunch together. There’s a café right across the road. What do you say?" Bruno asked casually, barely glancing up as he packed his laptop into his bag.

He seemed very particular about keeping his belongings secure.

"Yeah, sure," I agreed.

He was the Alpha King’s cousin, and I wouldn’t mind learning whatever I could from someone close to the family.

I grabbed my purse, and we walked across the road to the café.

We both ordered grilled sandwiches, along with a matcha for me and a latte for him.

For a while, we stayed busy on our phones, but eventually, there was nothing left to hide behind.

The phones were put aside, and our attention shifted to each other.

"I hope you don’t mind me asking, but you’re Justin’s sister, right?"

Of course.

How could I forget?

This was how every conversation seemed to begin.

"Yes, I am," I replied. "And no, I don’t mind you asking."

I focused on the tissue in front of me, folding it neatly so I wouldn’t have to look directly into his eyes.
