“Hey, you coming hfor dinner?” she asked casually.
“No, got a meeting. You guys go ahead. Oh, how'd the tests go?” Bryan replied.
It was obvious Bryan was swamped.
He knew she had a doctor's appointment today, yet he couldn't make tto accompany her. He had even
forgotten to ask about the results earlier.
Eileen relaxed slightly and replied, “The numbers are still a bit low, but they’re good enough. Another round of
meds should do it. We'll tell everyone the good news when you're not so busy.”
Before Bryan could respond, a woman's voice—his secretary’s—interjected, “Mr. Dawson, the meeting's about to
start.”
“Right,” Bryan said curtly and then hung up the phone.
Eileen blinked. Raymond always handled Bryan's schedule. Why was someone else doing it today? Confusion
gnawed at Eileen, but she had a contract to sign. She quickly changed and headed out.
She arrived at the restaurant, got the room number for the private room, and hurried towards it. Rounding a

Eileen’s eyes briefly flickered toward the private room behind Raymond, where she was supposed to finalize the

“Mrs. Dawson, what brings you here?” he asked.
“Do | owe you an explanation?” Eileen shot back, her expression stern. “Actually, you're the one who needs to
explain towhy you're here.”
After a brief pause, she asked, “Did you chere with Bryan?”
“No,” Raymond blurted out without thinking.
“Then what are you doing here?” Eileen’s brow furrowed as she studied Raymond, but Raymond remained silent.
Just then, the door to the private room swung open.
Presley stepped out and said, “Ah, Mrs. Dawson, you are here. | was wondering what caused the sudden tension
out here.”
As she spoke, she casually positioned herself between Raymond and Eileen.
