Chapter 251:

“Let’s go.” Eileen gave Milford a brief look and entered the elevator without showing any emotion. Standing beside Bryan, she caught the faint scent of pine coming from him, which clung to the air around her.

Her expression was cold as she watched the floor numbers on the display change. She didn’t glance Bryan’s way even once. Bryan’s expression soured, and Milford stared at Bryan, making him a bit uneasy.

As soon as the elevator doors slid open, Eileen stepped out. She wore flats and moved quickly. She hadn’t expected that the first person she would see outside the building was Zola.

“Eileen, Bryan told me that Milford is starting school today. I’ll join you to accompany him,” Zola said.

She was puzzled as to why Bryan had suddenly asked her to take Milford to school today. But since Bryan had insisted, she had to comply.

Bryan took out his car keys and said, “You can take my car.” He unlocked his car and gestured for Milford to climb in. They both got into the car.

Then they turned to look at Eileen, who remained motionless. Eileen suddenly reached into her bag, pulled out some documents, and passed them to Zola through the car window. “Miss Murray, since you’re accompanying Milford, there’s no need for me to go with you. Here are the notes and the enrollment forms,” she said.

After handing over the documents, Eileen stepped back and waved. “Be careful on the way. Bye.”

Both Zola and Milford looked puzzled as they stared at Eileen. Bryan’s expression darkened.

“Well… Eileen, it’s been quite a handful for you to manage everything with Milford recently. Come with us today. Afterward, I’d like to invite you and Bryan to lunch,” Zola attempted to ease the situation.

“Thanks, but I’ve got some things to handle,” Eileen smiled and said. “Also, I think Mr. Dawson has been busy recently, meeting with Miss Ferguson, Miss Warren, and other women. He doesn’t have time for lunch. Please hurry so you don’t disrupt my schedule. I have my own plans and can catch up another time.”

Her smile faded as she cast a glance at Bryan. Then she snorted, turned, and walked away quickly. She didn’t even glance back once. Before Bryan could grasp what was happening, she had already left.

Bryan had no idea Eileen could be so stubborn.

“I knew it. Bryan, you’ve made Ms. Curtis angry,” Milford muttered.

He remembered that last night, Eileen had gone to Bailee’s place. Not long afterward, Bryan had climbed through the window into Eileen’s bedroom.

Despite his young age, Milford understood what was happening. “Bryan, did you and Eileen have an argument?” Zola stepped out of the car and suggested, “Why don’t I take Milford to school, and you go talk to Eileen?”

“I’ll ask Raymond to drive you two,” Bryan said, then turned to call his assistant. Within ten minutes, Raymond arrived to take Zola and Milford to school.
