My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 244: Thank God You're Here 

One of Brian's apartments was located in Violet Community.This was the place where he stayed most of the time.

When he started his career, he moved out of his parents’ house and lived here since.Violet Community was a high-end neighborhood in Ywood.

The security here was tight and stringent.

Because of this, the truck was stopped at the gate.

As Eris was wearing sunglasses and a mask, the security guard did not recognize her.

"Miss, vehicles from outside our community aren't allowed to come in without a homeowner's permission, "he said while looking at her warily.

"Wait a minute.I'll call my boyfriend," Eris replied.

The security guard nodded in response.

Eris was a little nervous when she dialed Brian's number.She feared he would not answer.

Thankfully, the call quickly connected.

"Eris!"

Eris's nose twitched and tears streamed down of her face upon hearing his voice.

"Brian..." she called in a choked voice.

"What's wrong?"

"My company banished me from the entertainment industry, and I was driven out of my apartment.I have nowhere else to go.I'm at the gates of your community with the moving company.The security guard stopped me and said that I couldn't get in until the owner agrees."

Eris sounded aggrieved and miserable.It could make anyone feel sorry for her.

"I see.Give the phone to the guard.I'll talk to him."

"Okay."

Eris handed the phone to the security guard, who then exchanged a few words with Brian.

A few moments later, he finally allowed the truck to enter.

When they arrived in front of the building, Eris saw Brian in the distance, standing under a streetlamp and waiting for her in his white sweater and black pants.

Because of the light overhead, he looked as though he was glowing.

Just looking at him could make anyone feel at ease.

Eris could not help but burst into tears as she gazed at him.

The truck came to a halt in front of Brian.

Eris opened the door and got out of the car.

Then, with open arms, she threw herself into his arms.

"Boo...hoo...Brian!"

For a moment, Brian's body stiffened.He did not move and just let her hold him while she wailed.

Eris was immersed in her anguish that she did not notice something was wrong with him.She nestled in his arms and put her head on her chest.

"Brian, today is the worst day of my life.I'm desperate.Thank God you're here."

Brian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Beep! Beep! Beep! The driver was getting impatient, so he honked the horn several times to hurry Eris up.

"Hey, are you going to unload the things? It's getting late.My wife is waiting for me at home for dinner."

"Yes!" Eris quickly replied.

She stifled a sob and jumped out of Brian's arms.

"Unload them."

To her surprise, Brian pulled her back, Eris turned and looked at him in disbelief.

"Brian..."

"Your things can't be unloaded here." Eris was stunned.

"Brian..."

Brian walked up to the driver and asked, "Do you have a pen and paper?"

"Yes."

The driver handed them to Brian, who then wrote an address on it.

Brian gave the piece of paper to the driver and said, "Unload the things here.I have already notified someone.He's waiting there for you now."

The driver looked at the address with a frown.

"This place is a little too far.It's almost at the border of the city."

"I'll pay you double." The driver's eyes lit up. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Why didn't you say so? I'll send the things there as soon as I could."

With that, he took the paper, started the engine, and left the community.

The driver was an employee of a well-known moving company.

Knowing this, Eris was not worried that he would run away with her things.

However, she still could not help but be unhappy as she watched the truck disappear in her sight.

"Brian, why didn't you let him unload the things here?"

"I don't have enough space here."

"I see."

Eris nodded in understanding.

She had a lot of things, after all.

Although Brian's apartment was more than 160 square meters, he had many possessions as well.

She could not possibly put all her things here.

While she was in deep thought, her stomach growled in hunger.

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Brian asked with a frown.

Eris shook her head.

Wendy's press conference was held in the morning.

After the press conference, Eris went straight to the company without having lunch and then went home to pack up.

It was only now that she realized she had not eaten for hours.

Eris clutched her stomach and looked at Brian with a pitiful look in her eyes.

Brian sighed.

"Alright.Let's go.I'll take you out to eat something."

"No.I want to eat at home if that's okay."

Eris was certain that all the media outlets were broadcasting the news about Wendy.She knew her name would be mentioned as well.

Although she had sunglasses and a mask, she did not want to take the risk.

"Brian, let's eat at home, please."

"Sure." Brian turned around and walked into the building.

Eris hurried to follow him.

"Slow down, Brian."

Eris caught up with him and held his hand.But for some reason, he instinctively shook her hand off.Eris was taken aback.She stopped in her tracks and looked at him in a daze.

"Brian..."

Without looking into her eye, Brian took a deep breath and urged, "Let's get in."

"Okay," Eris replied in a low voice.

She followed him to the elevator.

Brian's residence was on the 26th floor.His home was in European style.

At the end of the hallway, there was a wide hall, in which there was an expensive Persian carpet, a luxurious European style sofa, and a dazzling crystal chandelier overhead.

Everything was luxurious and elegant.

"Take a seat.I'll order some takeout food," Brian offered.

"Okay."

Brian did not know how to cook, so he never cooked at home.

Although his kitchen was functional and complete with kitchenware, it just served as a display to add warm and comfortable vibes to his home.

As a matter of fact, he had never cooked in his entire life.

Eris was aware of it, but she never made fun of him for it.

The ordered food arrived not long after.

Brian poured warm water into a glass and handed it to Eris.

"Here.Drink some water to warm yourself up."

"Thank you."

Eris's heart warmed up as she held the glass.She figured she was probably overthinking when she thought that Brian seemed cold and distant to her.

‘Brian is my boyfriend and the closest person in my life.I need him the most now.He won't dump me.I was probably just overthinking."

Eris took two sips of water and instantly felt warm all over.

While holding the glass, she gazed at Brian, who seemed calm and unproblematic.

The matter about her and Wendy spread like wildfire.She did not know if Brian had already seen it.

As she gazed at his face, she could not help but wonder if he watched today's live broadcast.

‘Maybe he didn't watch it.If he did, he wouldn't be so calm.That's right.Brian is busy.How could he know something about this kind of news?”

At the thought of this, Eris let out a sigh of relief.

Even so, she had to think about how she would explain herself and prove her innocence once he found out about it.

Eris and Brian sat on the couch, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

As a result, a deafening silence filled the air.

After a long while, Brian took out the remote control and was about to turn the TV on.

Eris' eyes widened in awe.

It was almost time for the entertainment news! She had not figured out yet how she would explain everything to him.

At that moment, Eris rushed towards him and grabbed the remote control out of his hand.

"Brian, we'd better not watch TV.We haven't been together for a long time.We should savor every moment we're together!"

But as soon as she finished her words, she found that Brian was staring at her with his lips pursed.

His gaze was deep and penetrating.It was as though he could clearly see what she was thinking.

‘His eyes.."

Eris froze upon seeing them.
