Chapter 755:
Lenny nodded in admiration, then looked at Eileen with concern.
âNow, Mr. Dawson can look out for you. But once he leaves the company, you might face tough times. How could Jessica tolerate you then?â
After a moment of thought, Eileen shook her head and said, âJessica wonât wait until Mr. Dawsonâs departure. Sheâll keep causing problems until she either gives up or Mr. Dawson decides to replace me.â
It was unlikely she would be replaced, but she didnât express this to Lenny.
Lenny nodded with even greater respect and said, âYouâre so courageous. Go on. If you ever need help, just let me know.â
âIâll head upstairs now,â Eileen replied. She gathered her things, informed Savanna, and made her way upstairs.
Jessica was in Bryanâs office. Eileen knew Jessica had been talking with Bryan, but it was clear Jessica was upset.
When Jessica noticed Eileen entering, her frustration was palpable.
âMs. Marshall, please inform them that Iâll treat them to dinner tonight,â Bryan instructed, signaling it was time for Jessica to leave.
Jessica turned and left, giving a snort as she passed by Eileen. Once the office door was shut, only three people remained in the room. Bryan released Gabriela, who excitedly ran towards Eileen.
âMa!â Gabriela dashed to Eileen and wrapped her little arms around Eileenâs legs. She then looked up at Eileen with a beaming smile, which made Eileenâs heart melt.
gⱯlnÏνððsâ¤com takes you to new worlds Although Eileen saw Gabriela daily at home over the past two days at the company, she had had to turn Gabriela down when she tried to embrace her. This had made her feel quite uncomfortable. Now, she could finally embrace Gabriela without any hesitation. She cradled Gabriela and played with her in the office.
Bryan, feeling overlooked, reminded Eileen, âThe office next door belongs to Conroy.â
Instinctively, Eileen lowered her voice while playing with Gabriela.
Meanwhile, people in the office next door whispered, trying to keep their conversation private.
âWhat did you say?â Conroy discarded his pen, stood up, and looked at Jessica.
âWho did Mr. Dawson choose?â
âEileen Curtis,â Jessica responded.
At this, Conroyâs complexion turned ghostly white.
Unaware of the implications, Jessica continued, âMr. Dawson instructed Eileen to pack up after work today and move into his house.â
Bryanâs house? Thatâs next to where he lived!
The more Conroy thought about it, the darker his expression became.
âConroy, you need to come up with something to stop this!â Jessica approached and clung to Conroyâs arm. âIf I canât get close to Mr. Dawson, how will you manage to talk about the cooperation with him?â
Conroy felt his head spinning. After a moment of silence, he pushed Jessicaâs hand away and said, âLet me think for a bit. Iâll figure something out.â
