Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 180:

How should she practice? This question lingered in Eileen’s mind all afternoon. At five o’clock, she received a message from Bryan, informing her that he had arrived. Following Eileen’s strict instruction, Bryan had parked his car around the corner on the next street.

After reading the message, Eileen grabbed her bag and hurried down the stairs just as it was time to leave work. Descending with a few colleagues, she locked the door and exchanged farewells with them in front of the educational agency. She wore a black wool coat, a shirt, and a knee-length skirt that highlighted her long legs.

The temperature in Wist Land varied significantly between day and night. She had to wear her coat in the morning but take it off by noon. Running her fingers through her hair, she dashed across the street. She quickly spotted Bryan’s car parked by the roadside.

Bryan, dressed in a suit, was smoking beside the car. He stood tall, with his angular features evident. His presence perfectly complemented the luxury car beside him. Many women glanced his way. With the sun behind him, his face was hard for Eileen to see when he turned his head. He flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can and walked toward Eileen.

Stopping in front of her, he used both hands to straighten her coat. “Get in the car.”

“Okay.” Eileen’s voice softened, sounding much gentler than she had been on the phone before. But Bryan remained dissatisfied. He opened the door for her and then went around to the driver’s seat. He knew the route to the Vance family’s house. He started the engine, and the car merged into traffic. Before he could say anything, Eileen’s phone rang.

Eileen slid her finger across the screen to answer. The call was from a male coworker at the educational agency, a married man in his thirties.

“Ms. Curtis, where are you? Didn’t we agree that I would drive you to your student’s home?”

After ending the call with Bryan in the afternoon, Eileen had been preoccupied with thoughts of how to practice tonight and had forgotten to tell her colleague she wouldn’t need him to drive her to tutor her student today.

Inside the car, it was quiet enough for Bryan to hear Eileen’s colleague clearly. He glanced at her. So that was her idea of ‘joking’?

“Thank you, but I’ll manage on my own this time,” Eileen replied to her colleague.

Thinking Eileen was just being polite, her colleague persisted, saying, “Ms. Curtis, it’s no trouble for me to drive you there. I’m heading in the same direction anyway, and it’ll save you the hassle and expense of taking a taxi or public transport.”

“Actually, my friend has already picked me up…” Eileen began.

The mention of ‘friend’ seemed to chill the atmosphere in the car instantly.
