Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 165:

Eileen took a few steps when suddenly, the back window of the car rolled up, leaving only a sliver of the driver’s side window open. “Ms. Curtis, Mr. Dawson and I have brought your laptop. We won’t be able to pack your luggage, though. Since you’ll be tutoring Milford tonight, you can take care of it then,” Raymond explained as he stepped out of the car and fetched Eileen’s laptop bag from the trunk.

Eileen indeed needed her laptop. She had planned to work in the evening when she fetched it. But now, Raymond had retrieved it for her. Eileen took the laptop bag from Raymond and peered at the rear window, catching a glimpse of Bryan’s silhouette.

“Thank you, Raymond.” She smiled at him.

“No need to thank me. It was Mr. Dawson’s idea,” Raymond replied, his gaze also drawn to the sealed window. Realizing Bryan would remain silent, he bid Eileen goodbye, climbed back into the car, and drove off.

From inside the vehicle, Bryan’s stern gaze lingered on the parked BMW, his deep eyes reflecting a chill. His attention shifted to the rearview mirror, where he saw Eileen clutching a bouquet of red roses. His expression hardened.

Upon returning to the education agency, Eileen handed the flowers to the receptionist. She then requested the receptionist to send Danielle to her office. She went back to her office and put the laptop bag on her desk. The bag seemingly carried a trace of Bryan’s scent. Her frown deepened, her heart heavy.

A knock at the door disrupted her thoughts. The receptionist entered with a resignation letter. “Ms. Curtis, Danielle had to leave urgently. She left this resignation letter and said she doesn’t need her salary.” Danielle had fled.

Eileen took the letter and placed it aside. “Okay. Please ask the other teachers to take Danielle’s classes temporarily.” Eileen had yet to decide on how to deal with Danielle. Since it was not a legal issue, she chose to let it go. Out of sight, out of mind.

Collecting herself, she started her work, her brows still knitted together. Later, at five, Denzel informed her he had a meeting with Bryan and would personally take Adalina to her lessons. Thus, Eileen gathered her belongings and headed straight to Pianoforte Villas.

Upon arrival, she found Denzel and Bryan in the living room, both wearing grave expressions. Bryan looked down, smoking, seemingly oblivious to Eileen’s presence. Denzel acknowledged Eileen. “Adalina has already gone upstairs. They’re waiting for you.”

“Alright, you two carry on,” Eileen said and proceeded to the third floor to the study room. There, Milford lounged on a bean bag chair, fiddling with an old phone, while Adalina, ready with her study materials, occasionally glanced at him.
