Chapter 23 Drunk
Sean was heading out when Eva escorted him downstairs. There was indeed a car waiting for him.]
When the driver saw them, he quickly got out of the car. It was the assistant who had delivered Sean’s luggage the day before.
“Mr. Shaw,” the assistant greeted Sean, then turned to Eva. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke, “Mrs. Shaw.”
Eva was taken aback and waved her hand, “My last name is Foster.”
The assistant glanced at Sean, then nodded and corrected himself, “Miss Foster.”

“This is my assistant, Quincy. You met him yesterday,” Sean glanced at Eva, briefly introducing him before getting into the car.
“Goodbye, Miss Foster,” Quincy said as he followed Sean into the car.

Eva watched the car drive off before turning back to head upstairs.
The past few days of rest were rare moments of peace.
Back at home, Eva settled down on the sofa, quietly reading a book all day.[]
Though she fully understood the distance between her and Sean, his simple words about buying groceries after work still made her unconsciously hold onto a bit of hope.[]

It wasn’t until late at night that her phone rang, but it wasn’t Sean calling. It was Quincy, the assistant, calling from Sean’s phone.]
After the last call, Eva had saved the number.[]
“Hello, Miss Foster, Mr. Shaw had a sudden engagement today. It just ended, but he’s had a bit too much to drink. I’m taking him back now, we’re on our way.”
“Uh, okay,” Eva wasn’t sure how to respond. It felt strange since Sean was still staying at her place, but she knew he should be coming

Chapter 23 Drunk
When she saw Quincy helping Sean out of the car, Eva’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.]
She opened the door and waited by the entrance.[]
Quincy quickly helped Sean upstairs. He looked like he had drunk quite a bit. His steps were unsteady, and he was leaning entirely on Quincy.
“Thank you for your help,” Eva said, extending her hand as she assisted Quincy with getting Seanto the door.[]
No problem, I’ve done my job. I’ll be going now,” Quincy sighed in relief, now feeling at ease.]
“Okay,” Eva nodded.[]
She understood that he was just the assistant, and his task was complete now that he had delivered Sean safely.[]
After Quincy left, Eva helped Sean step inside. As she reached to close the door, her hand wasn’t steady, and Sean suddenly leaned on her. She lost her balance, and her back hit the wall, causing a sharp pain at her wound.
