Chapter 221:

The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, and the hallway was nearly empty. Eileen and Phoebe, who had been dining on the first floor, headed upstairs. A waiter approached them quickly.

“Hello, how can I assist you two?” he asked.

Phoebe smiled warmly. “We saw a friend and wanted to say hi,” she explained.

The waiter raised an eyebrow, glancing at the nearly empty hallway. It was clear their friend had to be in one of the private rooms.

“I’m sorry,” the waiter replied. “But our private rooms on the second floor are strictly reserved. We can’t let anyone in without permission. Maybe you can ask your friend to come downstairs to see you?”

Eileen tugged at Phoebe’s arm. “Let’s leave,” she whispered.

Even if Bryan was indeed up there, he was probably there for work.

“Alright, we’re leaving.” Phoebe didn’t argue and turned to go.

After a few steps, Eileen felt Phoebe’s grip on her arm loosen. Without turning around, she heard Phoebe yelp and stumble.

Phoebe had accidentally opened the door to a private room, catching herself by grabbing the door frame. Inside, smoke hung in the air as people chatted and drank. The man at the head of the table, with dark eyes and a cigarette in his hand, looked over at them.

His black shirt gave him a charming appearance. His relaxed posture tensed slightly when he made eye contact with Eileen through the open door.

Next to him, a young woman in her twenties, dressed in a light dress that gave her an innocent look, was dabbing a wet spot on his chest with a napkin. The sudden opening of the door startled her, causing the napkin to fall from her hands.

Phoebe quickly spoke up, “Sorry, I lost my balance. Oh, isn’t this Mr. Dawson? What a pleasant surprise!”

The waiter’s mouth twitched. A pleasant surprise? Clearly, what Phoebe had done was intentional.

“Apologies, everyone; they…” The waiter hesitated, glancing uneasily at the assembled guests in the private room.

Phoebe’s mention of Bryan had made the others realize she was there for him, prompting them to subtly signal the waiter to leave.

“Do you know them, Mr. Dawson?” the young woman next to Bryan asked, withdrawing her hand cautiously.
