A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

She pressed the answer button gently, and Peare’s heavy volen came through the phone night away, “Eleanor, you okay? 

adn’t seen Pearce or been able to reach him by phone 

Eleanor had just left the Midnight Bar enite 

She figured with so many people around Pearce, he should be fine, 

text message and went home 

Now, hearing Pearce’s voice, she nervously asked, “Mr. Hooper, what’s wrong?” 

Pearce shook his head bitterly and said, “I’m fine, just want to tell you, besides owing me a pair of golden slippers, you owe golden right hand too.” 

Relieved that he was alright, Eleanor frowned and asked, “What golden right hand? I don’t get it” 

Pearce smiled faintly and said, “You don’t need to understand, just give it back to me” 

She was fed up with the word golden by now, and said, “Fine, when the project money comes in, I’ll go to the gold shop owner and have him make it for you.” 

Hearing her promise, Pearce felt a bit more relieved in his heart, “Remember to make a left hand too. It’ll look more comfortable if it’s symmetrical.” 

Eleanor nodded repeatedly, “Alight, whatever you want, I’ll make it for you since you’re my mentor” 

Pearce hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his chest with a relaxed sigh 

Having an apprentice felt pretty good, but when he saw Ryan in uniform standing outside the office door, his smile vanished. He said on the phone, “I have two good news and two bad news, which one do you want to hear first?” 

Eleanor didn’t hesitate, “The bad news.” 

In his heart, Pearce thought he had said the good news first, so why didn’t she answer in that order? 

Forcing himself to adjust his mood, Pearce said, “Alright, the good news is that Lawrence Group Headquarters wants to rebuild the building, and they’ve come to our company!” 

Lawrence Group Headquarters was fine, why did they need to rebuild? 

Eleanor frowned, wanting to ask Pearce about it, but his other good news arrived, 

“My dream was to win the design rights to the Laurence Group building and use it to participate in the international architecture competition, defeating my master Ethan. I didn’t expect to finally see Lawrence Group Headquarters being rebuilt 

Hearing this, Eleanor put her doubts aside and felt happy for him, “Congratulations, your dream is about to come true.” 

Pearce gave a bitter smile, “You’re congratulating too soon. I haven’t told you the two bad news yet.” 

Considering his help multiple times, Eleanor replied patiently, “Please tell me.” 

Pearce glared at Ryan outside the door and took a deep breath, “The first bad news is that the Laurence Group wanted you to design it, not me!” 

Finally, an opportunity to rebuild, and the Laurence Group chose his apprentice for the design! 

How infuriating was that?! 

They actually chose her? 

Eleanor was a little dazed, not understanding what Bernard wanted to do. 

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Pearce thought she was secretly pleased and got even madder, “Are you happy or delighted?” 

Eleanor came to her senses, and shook her head, “I have over 50 projects to do, I don’t have time to take on more. You should do it”
