Chapter 28
Chapter 28:
Huey was ready to sit, but Eileen gently held him back.
“We’re just dropping by for a quick greeting. Don’t let us interrupt your dinner. We’ll leave now,” Eileen said.
Bryan’s response was even, betraying no sentiment.
“Not at all. It seems we’re the ones disturbing you two.”
Eileen couldn’t quite read Bryan; his expression was calm.
Huey caught on to Eileen’s unease. “Indeed. Eileen rarely takes a break from work, and it’s unusual for her to share a meal like this with me,” he said with a subtle glance toward Eileen. “As she’s under your wing at work, I trust she’s in good hands, Mr. Dawson. I appreciate it.”
Bryan’s eyes lingered on Eileen’s departing form, his gaze intense.
Without looking back, Eileen descended to retrieve her belongings, her pace steady. She was ready to settle the bill, but Huey was one step ahead, having already paid.
To her astonishment, Huey had also settled the bill for Bryan and his companions.
“There was no need for you to cover their meal,” Eileen said, her words tinged with disbelief. She couldn’t understand Huey’s intentions.
“It’s just good manners,” Huey said, downplaying the act, though internally, he was quite satisfied with the subtle power play. Paying the bill was a move that, in his mind, would unsettle Bryan and subtly redress any imbalance in their dynamics—a small victory for Eileen’s honor.
“Eileen, Apex is still not on my contact list,” Huey mentioned again, his tone reflecting a tinge of frustration. “Think you could set up a dinner with him for me?”
Eileen mulled over the unpredictable nature of the situation. It was probably best to keep Bryan’s identity as Apex a secret from Huey.

“We’ll see about that, but his schedule is pretty packed,” she replied cautiously.
With the flowers now settled in her car, Eileen offered Huey a farewell wave and left.
Huey, a little deflated, headed back to his vehicle and scrolled through his phone. Suddenly, a spark of excitement flickered across his face; Apex had accepted his friend request—his ID was ‘VAX,’ just like his ID in the game.
