Chapter 167:

Four dishes were already on the table, and Bryan was preparing another. “Please, make yourself at home and sit down.” Milford leaned in, his elbows resting on the table. “Did you and Bryan know each other before?”

“Why do you think that?” Eileen hesitated, careful not to reveal too much. She was unsure what Bryan had told Milford about why she had spent the night at their house.

Milford replied, “Bryan mentioned you helped him generate some income last night to tackle his project’s financial issues.”
