Chapter 56
Chapter 56:
Eileen paused, lost in thought, as the elevator reached Jonathan’s floor.
Benjamin held the door for Eileen, saying, “I can’t go with you.”
Eileen stepped out and told Benjamin, “Thank you.”
The doors shut as Benjamin watched her leave. Then he pressed the button for another floor, not leaving the hospital.
Through the ward’s ajar door, the voices within spilled out. Jonathan’s voice carried an edge, “No one can be let off easily after attacking me.”
“You sexually assaulted me first!” Bailee’s voice rose, defiant. “Sexual harassment is a serious charge, and I could take you to court.”
Unyielding, Jonathan said, “Proceed! It’s time we see whose actions carry the heavier weight.”
Silence engulfed the room momentarily. Bailee stood there, her fingers clenched in the fabric of her clothes, resolve etched in her posture. Kian was by the window, his hands nestled in his pockets, an observer to the scene.
Jonathan’s voice, laced with scorn, broke the stillness. “I’ve dealt with many women like you. If you please me, this whole issue will be forgotten.”
Jonathan rose, inhaling deeply near Bailee’s hair, a troubling pleasure evident in his demeanor.
Bailee instinctively stepped back and kept her distance from him. “No!”
“You’re pushing your luck,” Jonathan warned with annoyance. Turning to Kian, his displeasure evident, he declared, “Kian, it seems I’ll have to resolve this matter with you.”

Kian responded calmly, “Mr. Mueller, I think you will be more interested in someone else.”
Bailee, lips pressed together nervously, said to Kian, “I can handle this. Just call the police.”
Jonathan, eyeing Bailee and then Kian, asked, “Who are you talking about?”
“It’s me,” Eileen said, stepping into the room.
Bailee tried to usher Eileen away. “This is my issue; I’ll deal with it,” she said.
She exerted herself to move Eileen out of the room.
Jonathan ran out to stop Bailee, yet his attention shifted to Eileen. “You’re Bryan’s assistant. Is Bailee related to you?”
“Yes.” Eileen turned to face Jonathan. “Mr. Mueller, being Bryan’s assistant shouldn’t alter how you treat me. Just consider me an ordinary person.”
Jonathan’s smile was chilling as he beckoned Eileen and Bailee into the ward. “Let’s talk this through, all of us together.”
