Jessica was also looking at her, a trace of hostility in her eyes.
Back at her desk, Eileen wrapped up her work ahead of schedule and left work on time. She then hailed a cab to follow Jessica and Conroy, who had just left the company.

"Where are you?" Eileen asked, smiling bitterly. Her lie had been exposed before she could finish it.
"I'm right in front of you," Bryan said, with a hint of anger.
"What?" Eileen peered ahead and saw Bryan's car positioned ahead of Conroy and Jessica's vehicle.

"Conroy introduced Jessica as the director of VQ Group," Bryan informed her with his deep voice. "He has no plans to make her real identity public." That made sense.

Bryan continued, "Conroy heard I was in town and reached out toas a host. He has meta couple of times before. I've stayed in contact with him under the pretext of seeking his help to find a nanny."
