Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 153

Chapter 153:

Eileen hadn’t heard of Arthur before. However, her experience taught her that affluent men who flirted with women often carried a certain notoriety. As a teacher, Eileen knew all too well the scrutiny that came with any hint of a messy personal life. A teacher couldn’t afford to be associated with someone like Arthur, regardless of how innocent their interaction might be.

Danielle’s eyes widened in shock. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke. “Ms. Curtis, don’t you know him?”

“I know who he is, but we’re hardly more than strangers,” Eileen replied. Sensing Danielle’s curiosity, she redirected the conversation. “Did you need something from me?”

“Not really,” Danielle blurted out, abruptly turning to leave Eileen’s office.

As Danielle departed, she suddenly remembered that Arthur was waiting for Eileen at the café across the street, wanting to add her on WhatsApp. Yet, Eileen had indicated she wasn’t familiar with Arthur at all. Danielle now believed she didn’t need to give Arthur Eileen’s WhatsApp information.

Danielle returned to her desk with a mischievous glint in her eye. With a few quick taps, she created a new WhatsApp account tailored to seduce Arthur. The profile boasted alluring photos and an irresistible name, designed to captivate Arthur’s attention. The moment Arthur added the new account, he was instantly smitten, eagerly engaging in conversation.

Despite his eagerness to meet, Danielle skillfully dodged his invitations, citing her busy schedule. Recognizing her willingness to engage, Arthur refrained from pressing for an immediate meeting. He suggested lunch, but Danielle hesitated, offering excuses and postponing it until the evening, then to the following day.

Their conversations stretched on for four days, testing Arthur’s patience as he eagerly awaited a face-to-face encounter. He attempted to video call several times, but Danielle refused to answer. Frustrated, he resorted to a phone call.

As Eileen prepared to leave to pick up Adalina, she received an incoming call from an unknown number. Unaware it was Arthur, she answered it.

“What’s the meaning of this, Eileen?” Arthur snapped as soon as the call was connected. “Is this a joke to you? Do you think you can trick me repeatedly?”

Realizing it was Arthur on the line, Eileen swiftly ended the call and blacklisted his number. Furious at being blocked, Arthur mobilized his subordinate. “Find out where Eileen is!” he commanded.

Arthur’s subordinate briefed him, stating, “Eileen tutors Milford every evening at Pianoforte Villas. It’s confirmed that she’s his tutor. Milford’s place is the same location we visited previously.” Arthur’s subordinate had already investigated the relationship between Milford and Eileen thoroughly.

Arthur’s mind raced with apprehension, recalling his recent confrontation with Bryan. After deliberating, he instructed his subordinate, “Bring Milford here tomorrow. I need to speak with him.”

When Eileen arrived at the Vance family’s residence, she was informed that Adalina was unwell and had to take a leave for the day. So Eileen made her way to Pianoforte Villas alone. Upon reaching the grand estate, she found no sign of Milford in the study on the third floor.
