Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 149

Chapter 149:

Raymond swung the door open with a beaming smile.

“Ms. Curtis, welcome.”

His voice carried a note of flattery that Eileen almost thought she could see on his face.

“Thank you,” she replied, stepping into the room with a nod of appreciation.

The room was a cozy private space, and Bryan was there, clad in a crisp white shirt and dress pants, lounging comfortably on the sofa.

The colorful lights from above cast down on his sharp features.

Jacob was decked out in a sleek black Armani tracksuit. Despite a year having passed, his energy remained undiminished.

Upon noticing Eileen, Jacob popped a piece of fruit into his mouth and hurried over. “Eileen, it looks like you’ve been having a blast in Wist Land!”

“Mr. Meyer,” Eileen responded with a smile, “It’s wonderful to see you again.”

“Likewise!” Jacob’s grin widened. He gestured toward a spot next to Bryan. “Come, have a seat here. Let’s catch up.”

Eileen’s gaze followed his gesture to the indicated spot, with Bryan on the left and Phoebe on the right.

Phoebe mirrored Jacob’s action, giving the seat next to her a vigorous pat.

After a moment of hesitation, Eileen went there and sat down.

Jacob settled down beside Phoebe and started chatting with Eileen.

“I heard from Phoebe that you are engaged in the education industry here?” he asked.

Eileen nodded in affirmation. “Yes, that’s right.”

Jacob probed further, “And I heard you’re quite successful?”

“It’s been alright,” Eileen responded. “I guess I’ve just been lucky.”

She genuinely believed in her luck. Considering the numerous tutoring agencies that dotted Wist Land, her success in just one year had indeed surpassed her expectations.

Jacob flashed a grin. “Well, they say luck favors the competent, and you’re certainly proving that.”

“You flatter me, Mr. Meyer,” Eileen said, her cheeks warming with the compliment. Feeling the conversation was veering too much towards praise, she decided to steer it elsewhere. “And how about you, Mr. Meyer? Have you taken over the Meyer family business yet?”

Jacob shook his head and replied, “Not yet. My father believes one should settle down and start a family before diving into ambitions. No marriage, no business handover!”

Eileen was taken aback for a moment. Then, she glanced at Phoebe and smiled. “Mr. Meyer, you’re still quite young. There’s no need to hurry, really.”

Jacob leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs. “That’s right; quite a catch.”

Bryan’s expression soured at the exchange.

He set his wine glass down on the table a bit too forcefully, and the sound abruptly halted the conversation.

Everyone’s gaze shifted towards him.

“Are you just here to catch up?” Bryan’s tone was tinged with irritation. “Seems like you two are quite close. Maybe save catching up for another time, privately!”
