Chapter 465
Eleanor looked around the spacious office, her heart suddenly pounding.
It was as if her sister’s fiery spirit was boiling within her, making her nod in agreement with Pearce’s suggestion.
“Alright…”
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of cars rolling over the pavement came from downstairs. About a dozen luxury cars, led by a Koenigsegg, parked right outside.
Bodyguards in black suits got out of the cars, forming two lines and standing on either side of the building.
From inside the Koenigsegg, Aidyn quickly got out, walked over to the passenger side, and opened the door for the extremely distinguished man inside.
Under the sunlight, the man had a slender figure and delicate facial features.
He wore gold–rimmed glasses, which concealed his thick eyelashes.
The man standing by the car door had ditched his usual black suit and white shirt for a royal blue one.
The tailor–made, extravagantly expensive blue made the man appear noble, exuding elegance and grace with every move.
He slightly tilted his perfect chin, looking towards the second floor, and pushed up his glasses with a finger.
Eleanor, peeking out the window, suddenly thought of the phrase “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” when she saw this gesture.
Pearce, standing beside her, seemed to hear her thoughts and angrily added, “A beast in human clothing!”
Eleanor turned her head in surprise, looking at Pearce, “Why is he here?”
With his dislocated arm, Pearce pointed at the man downstairs and said, “Why? He’s here to hit on chicks!”
After saying this, Pearce glanced meaningfully at Eleanor, whose eyes were downcast, “Stop hiding, he’s here for you!”
Eleanor wanted to argue, but there was nothing to say. She looked away from the window and stepped back.
With his client–first mentality, Pearce briefly explained, “Bernard is here to sign a contract,” before heading downstairs to greet him.
Leading eight designers, Pearce dropped his anger and put on a flattering smile as he approached Bernard,
“Mr. Laurence, hello!”
Pearce bowed slightly and gestured for Bernard to follow,
“Mr. Laurence, please come with me. My boss is upstairs, eagerly awaiting your arrival.”
Selling out his boss for the sake of business didn’t seem like a big deal. After all, the three of them had an unspoken understanding.
Bernard’s gaze slowly moved away from the second–floor window and casually swept over Pearce.
The light reflecting from his glasses, coupled with the coldness in his eyes, made Pearce shiver involuntarily.
Did Bernard hear him calling him ‘a beast in human clothing” from upstairs?

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...
