Chapter 82:

Seeing that, Eileen caught her breath. She gripped the straps of her bag and said, “This book…”

“What’s wrong?” Bryan waved the book in his hand. “I read it to kill time!”

He then turned and placed the book on the top shelf of the bookcase, sliding it between other volumes without much care.

Eileen tried to speak, but the words failed her. She watched in silence as Bryan put the book away.

She took a seat across from him, her thoughts scattered as she prepared for the meeting.

The video conference included the company’s top executives, featuring Bryan’s parents among them.

Eileen caught the figure of another man on the screen—Bryan’s father.

Bryan and his father’s expressions revealed no emotions as they discussed business. From the meeting’s start, they strictly adhered to work-related matters.

For two hours, Bryan spoke to his father not as a son, but strictly as a business colleague.

When the meeting concluded, Bryan’s goodbye was curt.

From the other end, a female voice said, “Wait a minute. The rest of you are dismissed. I want to have a word with Bryan alone.”

Feeling it was her time to exit, Eileen quickly shut her notebook and left her seat.

Bryan gave her a fleeting look, his eyes darkening for a moment before he diverted his gaze.

Bryan’s conversation with his parents was brief. Eileen figured they had just exchanged quick goodbyes before ending the call.

Reaching the staircase to descend, she heard Bryan leaving the study.

“The voice recorder,” he called out. The warm overhead light cast his features in sharp relief as he approached.

Eileen accepted the voice recorder from him and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Dawson. Should I leave now?”

Bryan had a somber expression. “You can leave now,” he said.

Eileen was surprised; she had half-expected him to suggest she stay overnight, given his evident interest earlier.

Yet, she said nothing. She nodded slightly, turned, and descended the stairs. Then, she took the car keys and drove back to Springvale Lane.

She needed to prepare for Aaron’s tutoring session. Upon entering her home, she dove into a pile of books, working tirelessly until midnight before sending the study materials to Aaron.

Still not feeling sleepy, she decided to tidy up the meeting minutes, aiming to hand a thorough report to Bryan the next morning.

She opened her notes, played back the recording, and began typing a detailed meeting report on her computer.
