"You know, too much candy is bad for your teeth. See for yourself." Gabriela started watching intently.

Is that how you caught that adorable moment?" Eileen rolled her eyes at Bryan's smile. “Gabriela was just using that as an excuse to buy the lollipop she wanted. We need to make her realize that this isn't the right thing to do." Bryan shrugged, his tone affectionate. "I don't care how busy things get at work. I need you both by my side."

"I work diligently for you, and occasionally glancing at you when I'm tired helpsrecharge," Bryan explained, his words warming Eileen's heart.
Just then, the phone on the desk rang. Bryan stood up to answer it. The conversation seemed to darken his expression.
"Don't worry about it. If he can snatch it away, that's his capability. Given that, we don't need to hold back on the projects the Deleon Group is trying to intervene in. Let's compete purely on skill." Bryan's confidence stemmed from his unmatched ability.
After issuing detailed directives regarding the projects Javier was attempting to meddle in Bryan m glanced at Eileen and said into the phone, "The trap Eileen set previously is ready. Let Javier witness how 'remarkable' his new wife is."
When Bryan heard that Javier had set his sights on a project he had been d been preparing for stime, he realized that Javier had been completely swayed by Amoura and could no longer discern right from wrong.
Eileen, who had been suddenly mentioned in the conversation, m leaned back against the sofa as she watched Bryan end the call. She inquired, "What trap did I set?"
