A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365

The receptionist in charge of the space agency Building guided Pearce and Eleanor across the hall, heading towards another building. 

Eleanor looked around curiously as they walked, taking in the models of rockets, spacesuits, and space, and getting a deeper understanding of space exploration. 

She wasn’t exactly a science whiz before, but seeing this stuff up close was not only mind–blowing but also gave her some design inspiration. 

With blueprints in hand, she followed behind Pearce, listening as the receptionist led them along, saying, “This is the headquarters of the space agency. Our administrative office is in another building; I’m taking you to meet the project manager now.” 

Pearce nodded to the receptionist, who then led them into a neighboring building. 

Bernard stood in the elevator, his stunning face expressionless, but his furrowed brow hinted at his anxiety. His icy eyes were fixed on the numbers on the elevator screen. 

The building was high, and people kept entering and leaving, wasting a lot of time. By the time the elevator stopped on the first floor, quite some time had passed. 

With a frown, Bernard strode out of the elevator, scanning the area eagerly, but didn’t spot the familiar figure he was looking for. His face darkened as he headed towards the exit. 

He asked the security guard a few questions, but was told that everyone had to swipe their cards to enter or leave, and the guard didn’t know which department the person who just entered belonged to, or who Bernard was asking about due to the large number of staff. 

Bernard thought about using his phone to check the surveillance, but then he remembered that he had left it at his villa in W City. 

He had no choice but to turn around quickly and head to the surveillance room himself. 

At the administrative center, Theo, the project manager in charge of the expansion, was quite taken aback when he saw the genius architect he had never met before. He got up Eleanor a warm hug. 

“Ms. Elena, welcome. 

Theo was a man in his forties from F Country, he had tanned skin, green eyes, chiseled features, and a tall figure. He was smartly dressed and seemed very gentlemanly. 

But when he hugged Eleanor, his hand slid down to her waist. 

Eleanor’s face darkened a bit at Theo’s less than gentlemanly hug, but she still managed a polite smile. 

“Hello, Theo.” 

Theo finally let go of Eleanor, his eyes roved over her figure. 

“So the world’s number one architect is so beautiful.” 

After saying this, Theo tried to give Eleanor a warm cheek kiss. 

Eleanor was a bit annoyed and tried to dodge, but Theo grabbed her hand and tried to force the cheek kiss.
