Chapter 380
His words brought back a rush of embarrassing memories that turned Eleanor’s face a fiery red in an instant
Bernard, on the other hand, seemed unfazed as he reached out to touch her burning cheek
“Ms. Shultz, you’ve been in the wrong with Garett since last night anyway, so why get hung up on the details?”
Without waiting for Eleanor’s reply, he scooped her up and headed toward the bathroom.
Upon placing her in the bathtub, he said. “You look worn out. Get a good rest after your bath.”
Bernard took the bath towel handed to him by a servant, placed it on the rack, and left the bathroom
Eleanor stared at the closed door and let out a deep sigh
Bernard was right. No matter how much she didn’t want to get entangled with him, this was already a fact.
Thinking about these things made her feel heavy, depressed, and extremely tired
She decided to stop thinking, stripped off her dress, filled the tub with water, and laid in it while staring blankly at the ceiling lights. After leaving the bathroom, Bernard strode into his study. Seeing him come in, Caleb quickly got up from the sofa.
“Mr. Laurence, you’re back.”
Bernard simply nodded, sat down at the desk, and looked at Caleb with cold indifference
“How are things going in W City?”

“The people who needed to be dealt with have been taken care of They won’t be a threat to the branch anymore.”
“There’s one more thing to be done.”
“Please tell me Mr. Laurence.”
Bernard tossed two hotel room cards onto the table.
“A few notorious criminals in W City stole from these two suites last night. Retrieve the items.”
“Yes, sir.”
Caleb picked up the room cards and turned to leave, but Bernard’s frosty voice halted him.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
