Chapter 906:
Bryanâs head snapped up, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He watched Eileen as she shrugged off her coat and tossed it onto the sofa.
Eileen approached Bryan, her fingertips brushing through his hair.
âAre you tired? How about I get you a cup of coffee?â
âIâm not tired,â Bryan replied, eyeing her suspiciously.
âWhat are you trying to do here?â
âNothing,â Eileen said. âI just havenât seen you for a day. I missed you.â
Bryan arched an eyebrow. Usually, when she hadnât seen him for a day, she would be celebrating, not acting like this.
They had been together a long time, and she had never called him âdarlingâ before.
Something must be going on here. Bryan pinched the bridge of his nose. âCut to the chase, Eileen.â
âSo, now that VQ Group has been taken⦠itâs mine.â
Eileen took Bryanâs hand, gazing into his eyes. âRight?â
She tilted her head, her hair brushing his hand, sending a shiver down his spine. Bryan fought back a surge of desire and met her gaze.
âItâs yours,â he replied.
âAnd youâre my husband⦠So, whatâs mine is yours, right?â Eileen teased, leading him step by step.
Stay connected gαâηÏvððsâ¤com Bryan quickly understood what she was getting at. He pulled his hand back and leaned closer, his arms circling her waist.
âYour company is yours. My companies are also yours. None of them are mine.â
Eileen was momentarily speechless. After a while, she said, âYou donât have to do that. Even couples need boundaries. I handle EB Group and Apex Group because I love you, not because I expect anything in return. Thatâs how much I love you.â
Bryan tilted his chin up, his Adamâs apple bobbing. He grinned, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
âSo, whatâs on your mind? You can just tell me.â
âJust because you love me doesnât mean you have to work for free.â Eileen playfully patted his cheek.
âFrom now on, youâll set a million a month from EB Group. Youâll be in charge of LB Group, the Apex Group, the old Warren Group, and the VQ Group. Deal?â
Bryan knew exactly what Eileen was up to, but he pretended he didnât understand her. He shrugged.
âI canât take money from the group; thatâs my gift for you. How about you pay from VQ Group instead? That oneâs all yours. Itâll be like youâre giving me the money personally.â
He framed it as a symbol of her love.
Eileen shivered at the cheesiness. She frowned, grabbing his collar playfully.
âVQ Group is broke. Are you saying I donât love you if I canât pay you a million bucks?â
Bryan raised his hands in mock surrender.
