Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 105

Chapter 105:

Eileen, unable to maintain eye contact with Bryan, spoke first.

“Mr. Meyer mentioned that his friend’s house was vacant, so he asked me to watch over it for him to return a favor.”

“I’m aware,” Bryan replied in a steady tone, leaning against the door frame as he watched Jacob make a call.

After a brief conversation, Jacob hung up and motioned for Bryan. “Let’s go.”

Eileen turned to grab her suitcase and locked the door. She hesitated when she saw Jacob and Bryan waiting by their cars.

“Don’t worry. I’m not that clueless,” Jacob teased with a slight smile, signaling for Eileen to go to Bryan’s car. Getting into his car, Jacob started the engine.

Eileen made her way to the back seat of Bryan’s car, keeping her head down. As she prepared to get in, she heard Bryan say, “Sit in the front.”

She paused, then moved to the passenger seat.

The eastern part of the city used to be deserted. Since the inauguration of Vicin Mall, numerous condos and villas had emerged around it, establishing this neighborhood as the upscale district in Onaland.

The Land Rover drove along the road, with dense trees on both sides, blocking the sunlight.

Eileen occasionally glanced at Bryan, who sat at the wheel. His expression was cold and his jaw clenched. At a traffic light, Bryan watched Jacob accelerate toward the yellow light at the last moment.

His frown deepened as he stopped the car. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Jacob calling.

Glancing at Eileen, Bryan turned off the Bluetooth and answered the call, holding the phone to his left ear.

Jacob said, “It cost me twenty million dollars to snag this house overnight. I’d say I did quite well, don’t you agree?”

Eileen could barely make out Jacob’s voice, his words indistinct.

“If you’ve got something to say, just say it!” Bryan said firmly.

“Pay me back, or else…” Without hesitation, Jacob pushed down on the accelerator to see if Bryan could catch up with him.

With a chuckle, Bryan ended the call, casually putting the phone on the armrest, where it slipped into the gap between the seats.

As the traffic light turned green, he accelerated, sneaking a quick glance at the phone wedged in the crevice.

Suddenly, a hand reached into the gap but struggled to retrieve the phone due to the awkward angle.

Eileen leaned in closer, resting her head against Bryan’s side, and made another attempt to retrieve the phone.

A faint whiff of her scent reached his nostrils, causing his Adam’s apple to bob.
