?Chapter 750:
“I’m just using it as an excuse to maintain contact with him and to see you whenever I want,” Bryan said. “But I didn’t anticipate that he would invite me directly to the group and suggest Jessica as Gabri’s nanny.”
Eileen was at a loss for words. Jessica appeared too young. Her role as thepany director confirmed she was an adult, but she was clearly not suitable to care for a baby.
“So, Conroy asked you out to dinner tonight just so Jessica could be the nanny?” Eileen asked.
“Yes,” Bryan replied. Eileen, a bit confused, thought for a moment. Why was Conroy so eager to push Jessica towards Bryan? After all, Bryan was quite a catch, and with rumors now circting that his wife had passed away, this made him a sought-after bachelor. Wasn’t Conroy concerned that Jessica might develop feelings for Bryan? Or perhaps he wasn’t bothered by this at all. As long as Jessica could gain Bryan’s affection, it would facilitate smoother cooperation between Bryan’spany and the VQ Group in the future.
“Good luck!” Eileen ended the conversation abruptly. Having said that, she turned her car around, shook off the car tailing her, and headed home. She thought it best not to let Conroy’s people discover where she lived to avoid any assumptions about her financial status. However, she hadn’t anticipated that Bryan would return within twenty minutes.
“Didn’t you go to dinner with them?” Eileen asked, fresh out of the shower and wearing a face mask. Her slender form was partially concealed by her nightdress.
Bryan removed Gabri’s shoes and set her down. As soon as Gabri’s feet hit the floor, she scampered towards Eileen with her arms raised. Her little feet pattered across the floor, echoing her joyful giggles. Eileen quickly moved toward Gabri and lifted her into her arms.

Then, Gabri yanked off Eileen’s face mask and nted a kiss on her cheek. After the kiss, Gabri’s lips were smeared with the serum from the face mask, and she looked bewildered, quickly wiping her mouth with her hands. She then tapped Eileen’s face and widened her eyes in confusion.
“Face mask,” Eileen exined.
Bryan approached after changing his shoes and said, “Conroy suggested Jessica could look after Gabri, and I turned it down immediately. So, I didn’t eat anything at dinner and quickly returned.”
Earlier today at thepany, Conroy had discussed business with Bryan but only hinted that Jessica was fond of children. During dinner, he had directly suggested Jessica take care of Gabri.
Bryan had rejected the offer quickly, but he hadn’t dismissed it outright. Instead, he had suggested, “Yourpany has many employees. You could choose someone else to assist me.”
“You are basically telling him you want me to be the nanny,” Eileen grasped his intention. “Then I’ll stay at home every day to care for the child while you deal with Conroy?”
“That’s not appropriate. You should deal with him on your own,” Bryan stated firmly.
Eileen was left speechless.
“Conroy isunching a project. He wants me to be the nner and participate in it. The profits and losses won’t affect me. He trusts my skills. I epted, and he promised to help me find a nanny. I also mentioned…” Bryan leaned closer and whispered in Eileen’s ear, “I haven’t found a suitable ce to live yet. He told me the house next to his is avable for rent, and I’ve asked him to help me secure it.”
Thus, whoever became the nanny would be moving into the house next to Conroy’s with Bryan.
