Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 320

Chapter 320:

The banquet was held in a hotel owned by the Ferguson Group, a striking structure towering brightly with over a dozen stories.

A plush red carpet unfurled from the entrance all the way to the curb where cars lined up to drop off a glittering array of business celebrities for the event.

On the surface, it was a welcome banquet for Eileen, but in fact, it was to trumpet the resurgence of the Ferguson Group.

The grand hall shone under intense, ornate lighting, predominantly occupied by men in sharp suits and crisp ties.

Here and there, a few women in sleek business outfits blended in, enhancing the strictly professional tone of the evening.

Eileen stood out in her elegant black suit, her shoulder-length hair neatly styled behind her ears.

The waves in her hair lent her a hint of allure and playfulness, while her bright, piercing eyes radiated intelligence and acumen.

That evening marked Eileen’s encounter with Julio after a long time, and he seemed to have adopted a more businesslike air.

Gone was his former gentle charm, now replaced by a shrewd and calculating presence.

This wasn’t just Eileen’s impression. Others noticed this too.

As Eileen moved through the room flanked by Benjamin and Julio, all eyes were on her.

Whispers spread as people recognized her—Eileen, nearly married to Bryan and his former diligent assistant.

Now, as Eileen stood confidently beside Julio, there was no mistaking her role.

She was not just a subordinate, but his equal, his partner in the venture.

Many had recognized her exceptional work skills and keen insights.

Back when she had worked for Bryan, numerous competitors had attempted to lure her away.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the new General Manager of the Ferguson Group, Eileen Curtis. Her achievements speak for themselves,” Julio declared from the stage, presenting Eileen to the crowd while subtly suggesting her pivotal role in elevating the Ferguson Group’s status.

His remarks insinuated that Eileen was the brains behind his success, though he left it unsaid.

He managed to commend Eileen without giving the Ferguson family any direct reason to target her.

This tactful play further painted Julio as crafty and astute in Eileen’s view. And Julio had remained true to his promise.

Julio then gave a brief introduction of Benjamin, and following that, the banquet officially commenced.

Just as Eileen was about to leave the stage, Benjamin signaled her toward the corner.

There stood Bryan, impeccably dressed in a suit, his short hair highlighting his sharp features.
