A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348
In front of the Lawrence Group building, a dozen or so luxury cars were parked.
Bernard stepped out of one, his face expressionless, and strode towards the CEO’s office.

Aidyn hurried after him, noticing his brisk pace and quickly motioned for the bodyguards to keep up.
Bernard barked out a cold order to Aidyn as he walked, “Prepare the private jet.”
After Aidyn responded, he asked, “Mr. Laurence, how long are we staying this time?”
“A year,” replied Bernard, his face still devoid of any expression.
Taken aback, Aidyn stared at him, “Mr. Laurence, why so long?”
Bernard didn’t respond, not a flicker of emotion crossed his face.
Aidyn, reading his mood, did not pursue the matter further.
“I’ll get your personal items ready tonight, then.”
Bernard nodded, stepping into his private elevator.
Cedric was in the CEO’s office, engrossed in his phone. Seeing Bernard enter, he quickly got up and walked over.
“Bro, didn’t we decide in the last meeting that someone else would handle the aerospace business over there? Why is it you now?”
Bernard took off his suit jacket, placed it on the couch, then sat down at the U-shaped desk.
He picked up the already prepared coffee, took a sip, and glanced at Cedric.
“All this chatter, you want to come too?”
“No way, I have zero interest in aerospace…” Cedric replied.
Bernard lifted his hand, switched on his computer, and began to review the latest financial reports.
After a quick scan, he sent a meeting notice to the management team, then shut down his computer.
Then he turned his cold gaze on Cedric, “While I’m gone, I’m leaving the Lawrence Group to you. Let’s start the handover meeting now. Within two hours, I want you to take over all of the Lawrence Group’s projects for the next year.”
Cedric felt his vision darken, “Bro, can I apply to go to Africa now?”
The Lawrence Group had countless projects in Country A and had expanded overseas in recent years, growing rapidly.
How could he, a programmer, possibly take over such a huge group?
Bernard got up, walked past him, giving him a glance.
Just one look from Bernard was enough to get Cedric moving. What was so hard about managing projects?
In the boardroom, Cedric sat blankly as countless executives reported their project progress. He was utterly lost.
Not only did he have to deal with different languages and scripts, but also professional issues….
He turned his head and looked at the man sitting at the head of the table, who was leaning back in his chair, his head slightly tilted.
Bernard was staring at the screen, switching between languages, communicating with professionals from around the world.
Cedric took a deep breath. Bernard was truly remarkable. He himself would never be able to handle so many languages at once.
Yet Bernard was not only able to switch topics effortlessly, but he could also use extremely professional terms to point out issues in each project and how to advance them.
Sitting next to Bernard, Cedric felt the pressure doubled and began to regret coming to the CEO’s office.
After the meeting, Bernard turned to Cedric, “Did you remember all that?”
Cedric’s handsome face darkened, “Bro, can you just let me go?”
Bernard glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Ryan Wiseman, “Spend a month helping him get up to speed.”
Ryan Wiseman looked at Cedric impatiently, “Mr. Laurence, make it two months. I’m afraid he won’t remember it all in one month.”
