Gosh, it's been years since our graduation! Treally flew by, huh? You can just callBrennie when we're not in formal or professional settings. That's what my family calls me." As a woman herself, Rachel couldn't help but notice the gleam that crossed Brenda's eyes as she talked to Allan. Although it was brief, she was certain she had not misread it.

Brenda was clearly not satisfied, but she chose not to dwell on it. Instead, she took a different approach for her next move. "Allan, you do remember that it's my birthday next Saturday, right? It's been ages since I hosted a birthday party. I'm throwing one this year, and you must attend, no matter what!" "If I have time, then I'll definitely be there." To inexperienced ears, there was nothing wrong with his response. But Brenda, a woman who had been navigating the ruthless world of business for years, immediately caught the underlying meaning in his words. Allan was saying he would attend out of mere courtesy, and perhaps due to their long-standing professional relationship. If work kept him busy that day, he wouldn't hesitate to skip her party. Brenda's eyes flickered with disappointment.

"Did you chere to find me?" "Yes, there's something urgent I need you to check." Brenda was a true professional. When it cto work, her focus was instant and absolute. She took the documents from Rachel and reviewed them as they walked to the elevator and headed back downstairs. By the tthey reached their offices, she had made two suggestions.
Rachel graciously accepted and made note of them. She had to admit that Brenda was indeed very capable. The woman was straightforward and decisive, with a keen eye for detail. Rachel greatly admired these qualities.

"Ms. Myers, I've brought the coffee beans Mr. Vance mentioned. Should I take them to your car?" Brenda's phone rang just then, and she had a brief conversation with the other party. After hanging up, she handed her car keys to Rachel and said, “I have something to attend to. Please take Alban to my car."
"Alright."
And so it was that the two of them went down to the parking lot together. Alban was a reserved and introverted person, so he was mostly quiet on the way.
