Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 236 Chapter 236: Nowadays, education for the next generation was a top priority for many families. "Yes, Jim is famous, but that fcomes with its challenges." After reviewing the information on those families, Eileen discovered that their children already had family tutors.

In just over a year, she had made remarkable progress in the education industry, but that didn't mean she could easily replace those families' long-standing tutors. Bailee pressed her lips together and then muttered, "Alright, I'll admit it. I cup with this list myself." Eileen was at a loss for words.

The people on the list were either wealthy or influential. It was hard for Bailee even to meet them. Eileen raised an eyebrow and looked at Bailee.

"Listen, Eileen, don't be mad. I was just trying to pull sstrings to help you deal with the Dawson family now that you've returned. I thought rubbing elbows with the right people might help you, so I went out of my way to create chances to meet them.” She trailed off, remembering how she had almost gotten into a car accident while chasing the people into the suburbs, only to cup empty-handed.

But then, unexpectedly, she had run into Benjamin. Benjamin had been taken aback to see Bailee there. After hearing the story, he had kindly given her directions to a place where she might get a chance to meet those people. It was the Club in Onaland.

The parents of these five students often visited the club for business. Whenever they wanted to unwind or enjoy leisure activities, they almost always went to the D.V. Club. Determined to make progress, Bailee had headed straight to the D.V. Club and taken a job as a waitress. After a month of hard work, she had finally found opportunities to meet the five students' parents.

Maybe Bailee's relentless spirit had won them over because they had all agreed to interview Eileen. Bailee said, "Initially, I had my sights set on eight students' parents. Yet, despite my best efforts, I only managed to convince five of them." She frowned and continued, "I don't know if these five students' parents will choose our agency, but I thought it was worth a shot just to get the interviews." G al no vel s.holds tales worth reading Bailee was doing her best to help Eileen. It was hard for Eileen to imagine what Bailee had endured working at the D.V. Club. Thinking of that, Eileen looked at Bailee, feeling all sorts of emotions.

Eileen's gaze made Bailee scratch her head in embarrassment. She whispered, "Eileen, don't look atlike that. You have done so much for me. Of course, I'm going to have your back now. I didn't lose anything; I just talked with them. It's no big deal, and I'm not afraid of a little embarrassment." Bailee tried to sound nonchalant. "Have you seen Huey?" Eileen asked.

Bailee nodded. "Yes, he cto pickup. He tagged along while I scouted locations for our education agency's storefront and helpedsettle into my new apartment." "And after that?" Eileen pondered for a moment before saying, "Once you rented the apartment, you had to gather all the information and hire employees. How many times have you met him since?" Having worked at the D.V. Club for a month, Bailee had still managed to keep up with the education agency's affairs. It was evident she had been busy every day, barely finding tto catch ssleep, let alone meet with Huey.

Taking a moment to gather her thoughts, Bailee told Eileen the truth. "He stopped by a couple of times, waiting at the door until he dozed off. I told him how busy I was, and he stopped coming. Once the agency settles into a smoother rhythm and things ease up, I'll have more time. He said he would takeout on a date once I have free time." There was a hint of bashfulness and anticipation in Bailee's voice as she said the last sentence. Relieved, Eileen responded, "Don't worry, I'll assist you with the education agency's matters in the future." Their conversation then veered to the students handpicked by Bailee. Before they knew it, it was almost eleven o'clock. "I'll make it my mission to finish the coursework by tomorrow afternoon. Moreover, I'll have to attend a business dinner with Bryan tomorrow evening," Eileen said.

Bailee nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem. Go ahead. I'll handle the matter about the software once the coursework is completed." In the spacious living room, they spoke in low voices since Ruby was already asleep. Looking at the scattered files on the table, Eileen arranged them methodically and said, "It's getting late. Let's call it a night." Gathering her bag and phone, Eileen headed for the door. The motion sensor light in the hallway flickered to life, illuminating the opposite apartment door.

Bailee lingered until she saw Eileen safely inside her place before shutting the door. A faint glow emanated from the light Milford had left on for Eileen.

After hanging her bag on the hook and changing her shoes, Eileen's stomach growled. Despite her m hunger, it was late, and there was no food at home, so she had to bear with it. She walked to the bedroom, grabbing a towel before heading to the bathroom for a shower.

Even though the sound of footsteps from upstairs was barely audible, Bryan's keen ears caught it om nonetheless. Setting aside his unfinished work, he rose from his seat and made his way to the bathroom to wash his hands. The sound of running water from upstairs indicated that Eileen had returned and was now taking a shower.

Grabbing his phone, he sent a message to Eileen, telling her to cto his place once she finished showering. Ten minutes later, Eileen checked her phone and saw the message. She contemplated whether to head downstairs. A second message from Bryan followed swiftly: "The spaghetti is getting cold."
