Chapter 92:

Eileen endured a full day tethered to IV drips and medication, with Bailee constantly urging her to stay hydrated.

The medication likely lulled her into sleep for the better part of the day.

The following morning, she slipped into the professional outfit Bailee had selected for her.

That was when the realization hit her—she was heading to the banquet to meet Bryan, destined once more to confront his icy stare and dismissive glances.

“Eileen, your clothes seem looser,” Bailee remarked, pulling at the skirt’s hem, now spacious enough to slide an arm through.

Eileen spun around, fetched a safety pin from her bag, and quickly secured her skirt. “It’s fine; I’ll adjust it. You two have neglected your work for two days to be here. You can head back to work now. If you’re still worried, come back and check on me this evening.”

She exited the hospital ward, her lipstick lending her a hint of robustness despite her frailty.

The bandage wrapped around her hand contrasted sharply with her otherwise polished demeanor.

The venue for Stella’s birthday celebration was a hotel owned by Apex, which had been completely reserved for the event.

A plush red carpet unfurled from the entrance, extending all the way to the curb, greeting the arriving guests.

The guest list was short, yet it comprised exclusively influential figures.

The banquet was scheduled to start at ten in the morning, and Eileen made her entrance an hour early.

As she stepped out of the taxi, she walked the red carpet to the entrance, where the staff promptly welcomed her. “Morning, Ms. Curtis!”

Eileen acknowledged them with a nod, feeling a twinge of…

Of unease, and proceeded inside. “There,” she expected.

Stella had already taken her place.

The grand hall was alive with festive decorations, all tailored to Stella’s taste and orchestrated by Eileen herself.

Stella occupied the central chair, with Bryan beside her, his back to the entrance, lounging in his seat with a casual lean.

He seemed engrossed in something Stella was saying, his head slightly bowed.

“Eileen, are you no longer interested in your job? You’ve even arrived later than Bryan,” Stella’s voice carried a note of clear dissatisfaction as she observed Eileen’s arrival.

Eileen noticed Bryan’s frame tense momentarily before he relaxed again.

Approaching his side, she offered a slight nod to Stella, saying, “I apologize for the late arrival.”

Stella noticed the bandages on Eileen’s hand, her expression tightening. “Injured? That explains the leave request.”

Eileen hesitated, wondering if Bryan had shared that information with Stella or if Stella had pieced it together herself.

Since Bryan remained silent, Eileen didn’t clarify about that. “Yes, I needed some time to recover after I got scalded.”
