While the job didn’t compare to the fortune Rosie had offered her before, it would solve Isabella’s financial problems now.

“Will you pay me more if I get close to Alec for you?” Isabella asked.

Brenna looked at Isabella with a frosty stare. The greed and anticipation in Isabella’s eyes were hard to miss.

Isabella caught Brenna’s expression right away and said, “Whenever I did something for Rosie, whether it was passing along information or handling a task, she always gave me a hefty reward.”

“If you don’t want to work here, you’re free to leave now. I can’t promise you a lot of benefits. All I’m offering is the store manager position. My products sell well, and if you put in the effort, you’ll earn good money. But don’t be too greedy. Rosie might have given you a lot before, but how much do you have now?” Brenna replied.

Isabella bristled at Brenna’s stinginess. Brenna had more money than Rosie ever did. She pulled in orders worth millions, yet she refused to give her more money.

But for now, Isabella had no choice but to rely on Brenna.

Thirty thousand a month wasn’t exactly a fortune, but it was still better than what most people earned.

“Alright. Let’s settle it like this. My commission needs to be higher than the others,” Isabella said, unwilling to give in so easily.

Brenna neither agreed nor refused. She simply stared at Isabella.

Under Brenna’s unwavering stare, Isabella grew restless. Then, she understood Brenna’s intentions. “What is it you want me to do? Just tell me, and I’ll do my best.”

Brenna’s face eased a little. “It’s nothing too hard. I want you to patch things up with Alec. If you can, live with him. Keep an eye on what he’s doing for Rosie.” Isabella breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Brenna didn’t expect her to sleep with some old man like Rosie had, she could handle it. This task seemed easy.

She replied, “Alright. I’ll do it. But I want a proper work contract. My salary and benefits need to be written down clearly. You can’t just slash my pay out of nowhere. I barely make enough as it is, and if you start cutting into it, I’ll have nothing left.”

Brenna nodded. “As long as you work hard and deliver, not only will I keep your pay steady, I’ll throw in bonuses too. And even if you turn on me someday, I won’t take back the bonuses I’ve already given. I’m better than Rosie in that regard, right?”

Isabella stared at her, taken aback. “How do you know all that?”

“If I want to know something, I will. You don’t need to know how. Just tell me every awful thing Rosie’s done, and don’t leave out the details.” A waiter arrived with coffee and desserts.

Brenna and Ellie had just finished lunch, so neither of them touched the food.

Isabella, on the other hand, hadn’t eaten yet. She gladly enjoyed the coffee and desserts, finishing half a cake and drinking a cup of coffee before telling Brenna everything.

Meanwhile, Brenna stayed on the phone with Greg the whole time.

Isabella detailed everything she had done for Rosie and everything she knew to Brenna.

By the time she finished, evening was already closing in.

Brenna pulled out a stack of cash from her bag and set it on the table. It wasn’t much—just a small pile of bills.
