Chapter 37
Chapter 37:
“The house was originally hers. When she gives it to me, it’s out of kindness, not duty. I ought to repay her regardless,” Roderick said.
Judie, clearly frustrated, let out a sigh. “Will you even pay her back? You haven’t taken care of the house yet, and now you’ve lost even more money. Why are you still talking about paying her back? Let me tell you something. If you don’t secure a house soon, I’m leaving you!”
Judie’s words sparked a quick response from Roderick. “I’ll get the house, I swear. Don’t talk about divorce so easily like that,” he said.
Though abandonment wasn’t a new concept for Roderick, the fallout from his split made him crave stability.
Stability above all else. His achievements might have been modest, but he was no stranger to hard work. Despite losing his job as a courier, there were always options like food delivery or labor work available.
After ending the call, unease gnawed at Eileen. With both Apex Group and Fulcrum Group standing firm, the eighty million final payment was out of the question. There was no way Roderick would be released like that. Even with Judie’s network, a few tens of thousands would barely make a dent in such a significant deficit.
But Roderick had indeed been released. This puzzled Eileen. Restless, she spent the night turning over in bed, clueless.
Come dawn, a message from Bryan arrived, asking her to pick him up. She quickly had her breakfast and headed out. Bryan was waiting at their usual spot, and together they made their way to the office. As they emerged from the elevator, they couldn’t help but notice Vivian occupying Eileen’s desk, her makeup flawless, donned in a light pink dress. Her smile broadened at the sight of Bryan, though it faltered upon laying eyes on Eileen.
“I thought you were off for a week. What brings you back so early?” Vivian asked Eileen.
Eileen eyed the desk taken over by Vivian. “The office is swamped, and I can’t afford to waste time on minor issues,” Eileen responded with a level of respect.

Bryan’s eyebrow lifted at the mention of minor issues, a slight smile touching his lips.
“I see,” Vivian replied, her smile subtle. She approached Eileen, linking arms with her. “Now that we’re colleagues, I’m here to assist with your tasks. However, my primary duty is to ensure Bryan’s needs are met, so you’ll be relocating to another desk.”
Her gaze drifted to the secretary’s office, aware of the many eyes on them. “Perhaps you could move to a desk in the back office?” she suggested.
Bryan spoke up before Eileen had the chance to reply, casting a brief, unreadable glance at her. “I already have a plan for her new location. Concentrate on your responsibilities.” He then said to Eileen, “Come with me.” He led the way to his office.
Eileen freed herself from Vivian’s hold. “I’ll head in first,” she stated, following Bryan.
Vivian, left outside, pressed her lips together tightly in frustration.
Inside the office, Eileen faced Bryan, who was removing his suit jacket to hang it over his chair before taking a seat.
