Luke’s gaze passed through the door and fell on Eileen.
Eileen couldn't help tensing up when she noticed someone staring at her.
She only felt nervous and was not used to it when she was in the same room with him.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Eileen got up with the foam of washing powder in her hands.
However, Luke had already walked over.
The door opened, and there was Dan Miller, Luke's assistant, standing outside, carrying documents and Luke's clothes.
Dan said, "Mr. Bennington, there is a banquet at eight o’clock in the evening.
"OK." Luke signed his name on the document.
"Who would you like to invite as your companion?"
When Dan asked this question, Eileen walked into the living room, so she clearly heard it.
She felt a prick in her heart and walked towards the bedroom.
She understood that the woman who could stand beside and accompany him would never be her!
He had no such thoughts, nor did she.
She had been humiliated the day before
Luke's pen paused slightly and pointed at Eileen casually, "For the sake of convenience, I'll just take her."
Dan was startled slightly.
Glancing at Eileen’s legs, he wanted to say something but stopped.
However, Luke started to process the file.
Seeing this, Dan said quietly, "Mrs. Bennington, please prepare yourself."
Eileen was startled and shook her head, "I have something to do tonight.”
"Sorry, please talk to the president." Dan couldn’t make any decisions and just complied with Luke’s decision.
Eileen looked at Luke, raised her voice, and said, "I have something to do tonight.”
Without looking up, Luke responded lukewarmly, "What is it?"
She did not answer his question but repeated, "I have something to do so I couldn’t go.”
Luke threw the document aside and slammed it on the glass coffee table.
