Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1141:

“What’s the matter?” Amoura set her cocktail aside with a displeased look.

“I do want to work with you, but Ms. Curtis has intervened. The Meyer family has been my long-time business partner, and if my contract with them is canceled…” Trenton explained candidly, not wanting to offend Amoura. He had expected Amoura to be upset.

However, Amoura laughed and reassured him, “Trenton, don’t stress about it. Ms. Curtis is just trying to push you back. If you actually do go back, not only will you be embarrassed, but all the influence you’ve built up in high society over the past few years will vanish.”

“Influence compared to survival, it’s insignificant,” Trenton said, his mind clear on the matter.

“It’s not the same,” Amoura clarified. “I’m not saying you shouldn’t work with the Ferguson Group. Ms. Curtis is here for you. It’s better to act tough for now. When she offers a way out, you can gradually resume cooperation with the Meyer Group.”

Trenton was momentarily swayed by this optimistic view. “That makes sense. Since she and Mr. Nash are here, they’re likely looking for a chance to speak with me privately.”

They hadn’t approached him, probably because they were engaged in conversation with others.

At last, Eileen made her way out of the crowd and headed to the restroom to respond to messages. She had informed Bryan in advance about her attendance at the banquet, but after she arrived, Bryan had been sending her a constant stream of voice messages.

However, it wasn’t Bryan who had spoken in the voice messages; it was Gabriela. She spoke in her babyish voice, “Eileen, don’t drink.”

Since their return from Alverton, Ruby had been calling Eileen by her name, and Gabriela had started mimicking her. Gabriela referred to her as “Eileen” in private, but in Eileen’s presence, she still called her “Miss Eileen.”

Bryan had probably asked Gabriela to send the messages. Then he sent her a text: “I’ll pick you up at 10 o’clock.”

Bryan had clearly been waiting for her response.

Eileen replied to the message and touched up her makeup. As she exited the restroom, she noticed Trenton standing a short distance away.

When Trenton saw Eileen come out, he pretended to ignore her presence and took refuge in the smoking area, lighting a cigarette.

Eileen adjusted her hair and strolled over.

Trenton quickly pondered his approach to Eileen. He didn’t want to offend her, but he also didn’t want to appear too eager to continue the cooperation.noveldrama

Before he could settle on a strategy, Eileen had already walked past him.

Trenton was momentarily stunned but quickly called out, “Ms. Curtis!”

Eileen stopped, turned to face him, and asked coldly, “Who are you?”

Trenton offered an awkward smile and said, “I… you might not know me since you’ve just returned. I’m Trenton Quimby, the business partner for the Flukord project with the Ferguson Group.”

“Are you serious? Our Flukord project’s business partner is Harlem,” Eileen replied.

Hearing that, Trenton became anxious. “That can’t be right. I was discussing the Flukord project with your company just yesterday.”
