Chapter 7
Chapter 7:
Eileen’s eyes grew wide with surprise. The idea of going to her place had caught her off guard.
“Bryan!” Vivian reappeared, nestling into Bryan’s embrace with a playful smile. “My high school graduation photos are missing, and they’re not giving them to me. Come and help me out here!”
With those words, she rose, took hold of Bryan’s hand, and led him away through a sea of people.
Eileen sat up straight, turning Bryan’s suggestion over in her mind. The reporters gathered there weren’t just aiming to snap pictures; they would certainly attempt to halt their progress for interviews if given the opportunity. If Bryan ended up drinking too much, it would be a simple task for someone from Oak Villas to intercept them. It was a given that individuals would be waiting at the Dawson Mansion’s gates as well.
Compared to these scenarios, her home was indeed a safer option, yet it wasn’t the sole choice available.
As Eileen waded through her uncertainty, the crowd began to thin out. Jacob made his way to Eileen and spoke, “Bryan’s had too much to drink. Bring the car around, and I’ll assist you in getting him inside.”
“Thank you, Mr. Meyer,” Eileen said. Grateful for Jacob’s offer, she left to fetch the car. She parked at the entrance of the D.V. Club, exited the car, and opened the door to help Jacob with Bryan.
Bryan slumped into the seat, his head lolling to the side, visibly intoxicated. It was a first for Eileen, witnessing Bryan in such a state.
“He’s never been one to drink heavily. Vivian’s presence must have thrilled him!”
This remark led to a burst of laughter, with Vivian turning a shade of red and retreating into Bryan’s embrace.

“Miss Curtis, I’m entrusting your care. Please be cautious on your journey,” Kian said, turning to Eileen with a smile.
After closing the car door, Eileen offered a brief nod.
“Warren, Miss Warren, Mr. Meyer, I’ll be taking Mr. Dawson home now.”
Vivian waved goodbye but whispered a complaint to Kian.
