Chapter 38:

The flourish of Bryan’s signature on the paper spoke volumes of confidence and grace. In Eileen’s eyes, his appeal extended beyond his looks to the elegant strokes of his writing. She gathered the papers, and with a swift retrieval of the pen, she spun around to leave the office, passing the documents to Karla. “Go ahead,” she urged.

“Thanks, Miss Curtis, you’re amazing!” Karla said in awe as she clutched the papers and dashed off.

Now, Eileen found herself facing Vivian. They exchanged a look, and a moment of uncertainty hung in the air. Eileen wrestled with the thought of offering advice on navigating such urgent matters without seeming boastful about her rapport with Bryan.

“Eileen, what do you say to dinner tonight? I’ve invited lots of people, and they’ll be going too,” Vivian said, her smile breaking through the silence.

“I’m swamped, maybe another time. You all go ahead,” Eileen said with a gentle nod, excusing herself to disappear back into her sea of work.

As time slipped by unnoticed, the evening pulled a veil over the sky. The neon lights outside flickered to life, bathing the room in a warm hue. A sudden burst of light from the overhead lamps jolted Eileen from her focus.

She looked surprised by the night that had crept up on her and turned her gaze towards the door. Bryan’s posture was casual, a stark contrast to the intense look he gave Eileen.

Vivian, seizing the moment, plucked the pen from Eileen’s grasp and nudged her to rise. “Time to head out. Don’t worry; the work can wait,” she said.

When Eileen came to her senses, they had already moved past Bryan.

Bryan closed the door to Eileen’s office. Eileen knew she couldn’t refuse now.

“I’m off to fetch the car,” Bryan said, striding towards the elevator.

No sooner had Bryan’s footsteps faded than Vivian released her grip on Eileen. She walked over to Karla, engaging her in light conversation.

“What’s your preference for dinner? Pick anything—I’m eager to mingle with all our teams,” Vivian said.

“Anything’s fine with me,” Karla replied with a polite smile.
