Chapter 103

Chapter 103:

“Benjamin talked about the usual gatherings you have with Mr. Warren and seemed interested in engaging me more in conversation. I declined, and after that, he didn’t pursue it further,” Raymond replied.

Raymond couldn’t shake off his curiosity about Benjamin’s probing.

It was clear to him that Benjamin’s questions were merely scratching the surface, lacking any real depth or attempts to charm or gain favor.

He didn’t understand why.

Bryan pondered this, his expression shifting subtly. “Apart from matters concerning Eileen, feel free to disclose anything to him.”

“Understood,” Raymond replied quickly.

Jacob grinned, patiently waiting for their conversation to end.

He wanted to talk more but noticed Bryan had closed his eyes, signaling his disinterest.

Jacob clicked his tongue, wisely opting to stay silent. He turned his gaze to the nighttime scenery, choosing to enjoy the view.

The streets were deserted, with only sporadic traffic and the occasional bus carrying a handful of passengers.

Suddenly, Jacob spotted Eileen sitting on one of the buses by the window.

Her long locks flowed down her back, illuminated by the bright bus interior, accentuating her delicate features, which bore the weight of evident fatigue.

Jacob stole a quick glance at Bryan, who seemed to be sleeping.

“Pull over at the next bus stop,” Jacob softly instructed, tapping Raymond’s shoulder.

Assuming Jacob wanted to get off, Raymond stopped the car in front of the bus stop after the traffic light.

“I’ll be right back,” Jacob said before exiting the car and striding toward the approaching bus.

Raymond watched Jacob in the rearview mirror as Jacob approached the bus, wondering what he was up to. Meanwhile, Bryan appeared genuinely asleep in the back.

As the bus stopped, Jacob stepped onto the platform and called out, “Eileen!”

Surprised, Eileen looked up and asked, “Mr. Meyer, what are you doing here?”

Was he actually planning to take the bus?

“Get off,” Jacob gestured to her.

With the driver and two other passengers waiting, Eileen swiftly grabbed her bag, apologized to the driver, and followed Jacob off the bus.

“Come, we’ll give you a ride home,” Jacob said, opening the car door for her and then taking the passenger seat himself.
