Chapter 87

Chapter 87:

“Mr. Dawson, how the secret between you and Eileen—she is pregnant with your child. If you don’t want this matter to spread in the company, contact me and do as I say.”

A phone number was printed at the bottom.

Eileen was stunned. She read it twice to make sure she understood the words correctly.

Just as she was about to leave with the letter in her hand, Bryan appeared beside her. He stood tall and slender under the glow of the light above.

The air was turning cold. He was dressed in a suit and a black overcoat, his hands buried in his pockets. His deep eyes fell on her.

“Whose letter?” he asked.

Eileen gripped the letter tighter and replied, “It’s nothing. I can handle it.”

Bryan didn’t ask further and turned to press the elevator button. “How’s the preparation for the—”

Since Bryan was here, Eileen followed him into the elevator. “It’s nearly done. I’ve notified everyone involved.”

“Alright,” Bryan said, leaning against the elevator wall.

Eileen waited for him to say more, but he stayed silent and headed back to his office to wrap up work.

After discussing some work details, he told her to head home before him.

It was about nine in the evening. Instead of going straight home, Eileen stopped by Roderick and Judie’s place.

She rang the doorbell, and Judie, wearing a mask, opened the door. “Why are you back so early? You should be out there taking extra orders, making more money. You didn’t even bring your key—”

Before Judie could finish, she recognized Eileen standing there. Panic flashed across Judie’s eyes.

“Eileen, what brings you here?” Judie quickly forced a smile, opened the door wider, and ushered Eileen in.

“Have you eaten yet? I just made a meal for Roderick. If you’d like, I can get you some.”

As Eileen looked around, she noticed that most things in the room belonged to Judie, except for Roderick’s slippers by the door.

“No, thanks. I’m not hungry,” Eileen responded.
