Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 325

Chapter 325:

Eileen knew that the Dawson family was in turmoil, as was the Ferguson family.

Bryan had approached her, making it inevitable that she would become a target for the Ferguson family.

While others in the business world might worry about a potential comeback, Kaysen would not.

Kaysen had nothing to fear. If Bryan got close to her, he would be aligning himself with Julio’s faction, and Kaysen would definitely cause trouble for Bryan.

Eileen knew Bryan must also be aware of this, yet he still…

For a moment, Eileen struggled to put the feeling in her heart into words.

“After this drink, we’ll have another,” Bryan said, pointing to his glass with a wicked smile. “I’ll listen to you.”

His words were full of ambiguity.

As they sat close together, Eileen could smell his fresh and pleasant scent.

Her lips were slightly pursed, her eyes following the clear veins on the back of his hand, trailing up his forearm.

“Ferguson Group and Apex Group are sworn enemies. The relationship between Ms. Curtis and Mr. Dawson… is it really?”

Finally, someone couldn’t resist questioning.

“Just because we sit together doesn’t mean we have a good relationship,” Eileen said, stopping Bryan as he was about to speak.

She placed her hand on the back of his under the table.

Bryan turned his head to gaze at her intently. Eileen’s short hair was neatly tucked behind her ears, her profile seemingly sculpted to perfection.

When she grew serious, her clear eyes glinted sharply, and her lips moved to silence the other person’s words.

“And you guys just had a drink with him. Does that mean your relationship with him is close?” Eileen said.

“Ms. Curtis, you’re quite confrontational. We were just casually mentioning it,” someone interjected.

Eileen scoffed, her tone cutting. “We’re all adults here. I know your thoughts. If you dislike me or Kaysen, there’s no need to conceal it. Prove yourselves through your work. Picking at trivial matters here—it’s pathetic.”

Her words left the people in the room red-faced and embarrassed.

It had to be admitted—her approach to handling things matched Bryan’s.

Who would dare speak sarcastically now? If they had objections, they should let their performance speak and cut out these unnecessary complications.

This meal rattled these men, forcing them to acknowledge that Eileen was not to be messed with.
