Chapter 254 Mr. Brighthall Is Not in A Good Mood
“I can go if you’re busy, but can I get your number, Ms. McKinnon? If you have anything else that you
need help with in the future… I could…”
Brendan clenched his fists tightly abruptly, his veins bulging out of his arms. ‘This man still won’t give
up hope?‘
Furious, he clenched his teeth without uttering a word but glared at Deirdre coldly.
Deirdre took a deep breath after sensing the immense pressure radiating from Brendan. She caught
her breath before she answered with a forced smile, “I’m sorry. I don’t intend to do that, so I won’t hold
you back.”
Trevor was obviously dejected but he did not seem to mind very much. “I’m older, so it’s very normal

“What? Are you still unable to tear yourself away from him?” Brendan was instantly infuriated by the
sight of her sorrowful expression. “Deirdre, it’s true that you’re blind, but you should know your own
limits! How can you find a grotesque man like him attractive? Are you so desperate?”
Deirdre’s face turned pale. “Brendan, will you please not attack another person’s appearance?”
“I’m attacking his appearance?” Brendan laughed from anger. He clutched Deirdre’s shoulder and said,
“You’re already defending him even though you’ve only been. acquainted with him for a short time? I
can see that you’re not here to work. You’re
here to seduce men!”
Deirdre, who was incredulous, bit her lower lip tightly all of a sudden. She was struck. by Brendan’s
viciousness once again.
She was supposed to be used to it but she could not help tearing up. Someone noticed the situation
and approached them to inquire about the situation with a flattering smile.
Brendan clenched his fist tightly. He was about to speak when Deirdre, who had her head lowered,
seemed convinced that he would expose their relationship and hastily said, “Nothing’s wrong. It’s my
fault for displeasing the customer.”
She then begged in a shaky voice. “I’m sorry, sir. It was my fault, and I hope you won’t lower yourself to
my level. Please forgive me, and I promise that I won’t do it again.”
The receptionist came over to handle the situation as well. “I’m sorry, sir. She can’t see, and I’m sure
that she wasn’t trying to offend you on purpose. Please don’t be angry. How about this? We’ll send over
a bottle of fine wine along with today as a token of our apology. Will that be alright?”

Brendan looked at Deirdre coldly. The more he thought about it, the more furious he was, so he turned
around and walked out.
The receptionist felt relieved but furrowed her eyebrows tightly. “Deirdre, how did you offend an
influential figure like that? That was really careless of you. Thank God that he didn’t make a big fuss
out of the situation, or you wouldn’t have been able to keep your job.”
A waitress who had been watching the scene from a nearby area walked over and said sarcastically,

party pooper. You shouldn’t have shown yourself and scared the customer away when you know that

Deirdre’s head was throbbing, and the waitress reported the incident to the manager. The receptionist
consoled Deirdre by saying, “Don’t mind her. She has always been like this and she will stop at
nothing.”
“It’s not because of her that I’m…” Deirdre forced a smile with great effort. “Forget it, it’s time for work.
I’ll get to it now.”
After a day’s work, Sam waited for Deirdre at the door and escorted her to the backseat.
Upon taking a seat, Deirdre could not help asking, “Did you see Brendan before you came?”
“Yes,” Sam answered. He felt a shiver down his spine at the thought of Brendan’s cold expression. “Be
careful when you get home tonight, Ms. McKinnon. Mr. Brighthall is not in a good mood. He broke
some items in the study yet he still did not vent his anger, so he went out to drink. It would be best if
you avoided him as much as you could when you’re home.”
Deirdre felt her palms turn sweaty. She was convinced that she would not be able to avoid Brendan
because she was the reason for his anger.
