Chapter 242:

“I’ll handle it. You don’t have to worry about these things,” Bryan said to Eileen.

Eileen, upon hearing this, put down her phone and continued to eat her breakfast. After breakfast, she and Bryan returned to the bedroom to change their clothes.

Eileen met Bailee downstairs and drove to the wealthy families that Bailee had set up appointments with. Thanks to the thorough preparation made by Bailee beforehand, the morning meetings with the three families went quite well. Eileen was assessed and then employed by two of them on the spot.

The last family said they needed to think about it, but it was evident from their attitude that they would hire Eileen soon.

Bailee was overjoyed with the outcome. “You were really amazing today, Eileen, especially when you were explaining those debate topics.”

Bailee and Eileen had another appointment with the Harrison family at two o’clock in the afternoon, so they went to a restaurant nearby to grab a quick bite.

Bailee couldn’t stop praising Eileen, even as they sat down. Eileen couldn’t help but smile as she told Bailee to stop. She was quite hungry. She took out her phone and shared the smooth progress of the morning meetings with Bryan via WhatsApp.

Bryan called her when he saw her message. She got up and moved to stand near the window before she picked up the call.

“Are you calling to praise me?” she asked.

“No, I’ll reward you when you return,” Bryan replied.

Although he said he would not congratulate her, one could clearly hear the elation in his voice. “Who are you meeting with this afternoon?” he asked.

“The Harrison family. If that takes too long, I will have to wait till tomorrow to visit the Yates family,” Eileen said cheerily. She felt quite content.

The Harrison family? Bryan furrowed his brow as he asked, “What time is your appointment with the Harrison family?”

“Two o’clock,” Eileen answered, glancing at her watch. It was already ten past one now. It would take her at least half an hour to get to the Harrison family’s house.

She said, “I just finished lunch with Bailee, and we’re about to leave for the Harrison family’s house now. I’ll talk to you later.” After Bryan replied to her, Eileen hung up the phone.

Bryan absentmindedly tapped his desk with his fingers as a thoughtful expression came to his face. After a while, he dialed the intercom to summon Raymond.

When Raymond came to the office, Bryan said, “Cancel my afternoon schedule.”
