A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 

Eleanor thought Josef and Bernard had a good relationship, but it turned out Cedric introduced them

It seemed like this party Josef organized wasn’t just for her to meet a few friends he also wanted to get a project through Bernard

But that was fine; discussing a project would take time, which would give her a chance to figure a way out

With that thought in mind, Eleanor’s tense body relaxed a little

Just as she took a breath, Josef suddenly signaled to her to drink up

Unable to feign ignorance any longer, Eleanor grabbed her glass and gulped down its contents

She seldom drank, as Bernard disliked the smell of alcohol, so she had managed to abstain completely

The sudden consumption of a strong liquor caused her eyes to well up with tears

Observing this, Josef swiftly embraced her and helped by patting her back

Bernard’s icy gaze fixated on the hand wrapped around Eleanor

Through her teary eyes, she perceived a flicker of anger in his gaze

However, as her vision cleared, all she found was indifference and nothing more

Bitter laughter escaped Eleanor’s lips. Bernard only viewed her as a replacement and had never truly cared for her, so what had she expected

Once Eleanor regained her composure, Josef embraced her and addressed Cedric, This girl has no experience and cannot handle alcohol. Please forgive her.” 

Cedric simply smiled and remained silent, yet the woman beside him suddenly grew infuriated. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Caporal?” 

Josef raised an eyebrow and responded calmly, Ma’am, I made no mention of you. Why are you becoming so agitated?” 

The woman was left speechless and stomped her foot, then turned to Cedric and whined, Cedric, look at him, what he said was so mean! Let’s not talk to him anymore, let’s go.” 

Cedric, a mildtempered man, patted her hand. Norene, you know Mr. Caporal’s personality. He didn’t mean anything by it.” 

Norene wouldn’t let it go. Being the top girl in the club, she didn’t want to hear no experienceafter being with Cedric

She couldn’t argue with Josef, but taking it out on his woman was no problem

Whatever, I won’t stoop to your level. We’re here to have fun, right? But just sitting around is kind of boring. Let’s play a game.” 

Everyone perked up at the mention of a game

What kind of game?” 

Norene took out some cards and put them on the table

Cards in teams, and whoever loses takes off a piece of clothing.” 

Interesting.” 

Naturally, Josef wouldn’t refuse this kind of scene, and everyone else agreed too

Cedric, worried that Bernard might not be comfortable with this, glanced at him. Bro, they always play a little wild. If you don’t want toBefore he could finish, Bernard took the cards from Norene. How do you play?” 

Cedric was stunned. His cousin Bernard usually disliked places like this. But today, Josef just suggested that he meet a woman who resembled Ms. Ratliff, and not only did he come but now he was patiently playing games with them. Wasn’t this a little odd

Norene hadn’t expected Bernard, rumored to be uninterested in women, to agree so readily. She laughed, happy with the situation

It’s simple, I’ll teach you.”
