Chapter 129

Chapter 129:

They got into the elevator, and Eileen stood in the corner with her back pressed against the wall.

Instead of pressing a button, Bryan looked at her and asked, “Tell me where.”

Eileen was stunned for a few seconds before saying, “I don’t live by myself anymore, and I need to go to the hospital tonight!”

Without warning, Bryan walked to her and braced both hands on either side of her head, caging her in.

“I’m asking where you parked your car,” he said, his voice low and mocking.

“At the building entrance,” Eileen replied. She deftly ducked under his arms and went to press the button for the first floor.

She stayed right by the doors and grimaced in shame.

The man behind her let out a light chuckle, but she was too embarrassed to pay more attention to it.

Eileen’s car couldn’t compare to Bryan’s Mercedes-Benz. Bryan slipped into the passenger seat and had to struggle to get his legs into a comfortable position.

Once he did, he tossed his suit jacket to the backseat and fastened his seatbelt. Then, he leaned back, crossed his arms over his chest, and closed his eyes.

Eileen started the engine, the windows partially down, letting the night breeze into the car.

Eileen drove straight in the direction of the Pianoforte Villas and was suddenly struck with the realization that the first time she had been there was when she had accidentally run into Bryan after his shower.
