Chapter 102:

“You have seen Eileen, Bryan’s assistant, more times than I can count. She’s a real catch: kind, smart, and generous to a fault, yet he has exploited her kindness. She’s practically wilting under his thumb, and it’s downright maddening. You and I, we’re nothing like him. He’s sunk lower than any creature I know!”

Seated elsewhere, Bryan’s phone lay dormant next to his hand, its screen flickering to life unnoticed.

Bryan caught a glimpse of Huey’s messages, the edges of a chill smile forming on his face.

As he glanced at Huey, who was lost in a frenzy of texts trying to snitch, his smile twisted into a scowl.

“Ax, a guy like that should get under your skin just like he does mine. We can hatch a plan later, invite him over, and teach him a lesson. You’ll have my back, right?”

Huey sent about seven messages, each one a grumble of his gripes.

Then, he received a response: “Okay.”

Huey slammed his phone down with a flourish, casting a victorious look Bryan’s way.

Eileen and Bailee were both startled, turning to look at Huey with wide eyes.

“Trouble’s brewing for you. Just you wait,” Huey muttered.

Eileen’s eyes darted from Huey to Bryan, sensing the tension.

Huey was basking in his petty win, while Bryan sat there calmly.

Eileen felt the air thick with unsaid words and could do nothing but nudge Huey, hinting at him to eat.

The feast before them was mostly Bryan’s handiwork, with Huey contributing but a dish or two.

Eileen savored Bryan’s cooking, relishing each bite more than the last.

As she finished, she leaned closer to whisper to Bryan, “This afternoon, we’re heading to the hospital. If you’re worn out, feel free to stay and rest, or you can head out.”

Bryan, changing into his spare suit, replied as he grabbed his coat and glanced back at his casual clothes left behind, “Make sure you bring my clothes next week to the Clarkson family’s house.”

“Sure thing,” Eileen responded with a nod.

Bryan was the first one to leave. Bailee watched him go and then turned to Eileen with a puzzled expression.

“Wait, Eileen, you don’t have a car now?” Bailee asked.

The vehicle Bryan had just taken was the one usually driven by Eileen, a company benefit for her role as the CEO’s assistant.

Now, her usual parking spot lay bare.
