Chapter 536:
Tina looked at the generous bounty, stunned. “This is too much! I can’t accept these p>
The formula Gabriela brought was a high-end brand, quite costly and usually out of Tina’s budget.
Gabriela said warmly, “It’s really no trouble at all. There’s just too much at my house, so I thought I’d share some with you p>
Her household had been generous with baby supplies. Loretta bought things for Truett, Tessa did the same, and Tyler often showed up with a big bag of gifts.
Even Wesley would occasionally have Billy deliver boxes of formula.
The most unexpected, however, was Stewart, who, upon learning Gabriela had a child, also brought various items.

The family was practically swimming in baby supplies.
Gabriela added with a reassuring smile, “My child is about the same age as yours. You won’t need to worry about formula or diapers anymore. I’ll bring them over for you p>
Raising a child was costly, and formula and diapers were always the biggest expenses.
Tina had recently gone through a divorce and was raising her baby alone. Gabriela’s thoughtful gesture felt less like a gift and more like a lifeline.
Tina’s eyes glistened with tears. “Miss Haynes, I don’t know what to say. This is very kind of you p>
“Don’t mention it,” Gabriela replied warmly. “Women should always back each other in times of hardship p>
Crying in front of her always made Gabriela uneasy, so after offering a few comforting words, she quickly shifted the mood. “Everyone, tonight we celebrate the hotel project’s progress! Drinks and dinner on me p>
The office erupted. “Wow! Thank you, Miss Haynes p>
Those who had just resigned, boxes in hand, could only watch with envy.
If only they hadn’t listened to Trenton.
Even the HR Director felt a sting of regret, eyeing Hyde with quiet jealousy.
He couldn’t keep the sarcasm out of his voice. “So, Hyde… you stayed and got a raise. Congratulations. But without me and Trenton, you’re on your own here. Gabriela will surely make things difficult for you in the future p>
Hyde said nothing.
It was impossible for him to believe that Gabriela, the woman who treated her employees with such care, would ever act that way.
“Anyway,” the HR Director said, his tone sharp, “I’m done. Trenton landed a spot at a new company, and I’m going with him. We’re heading for greener pastures, while you stay here and suffer p>
As the HR Director turned to leave, Gabriela’s voice cut through the office. “Hyde, you’ll organize tonight’s celebration p>
Hyde blinked, caught off guard. “Me p>
“Yes, you,” Gabriela said with a calm smile. “Uncle Kaleb is too old for this. Can I count on you p>
The weight of her trust hit him unexpectedly, a warmth spreading through his chest.
“Consider it done, Miss Haynes! Everything will go off without a hitch p>
He squared his shoulders, lifted his chin, and shot a victorious look at the HR Director.
The HR Director froze.
Rage and regret mingled on his face. He clenched his fists, wishing more than anything that he could tear up his resignation.
