A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 

The Clowers Group had always been professional, so Jason wasn’t worried about their ability and nodded, “Of course, it’s all 

about strength.” 

The vice president, seeing that the president had lightened up, said, “Ms. Ratliff, my people stopped the Ratliff Group’s project without my knowledge I hope you can forgive us for it, as I have already punished them.” 

Sophie naturally didn’t believe these words, but she didn’t refute them outright. Instead, she went along with the vice president’s words and said, “In that case, let’s have a truce and work together to help each other out in the future.” 

After raising her glass to toast Jason and the vice president, she downed her drink and said with a smile, “Let’s call it a day. everyone. See you at the bidding competition.” 

Sophie decided to end the dinner mainly because Bernard had grown impatient. 

Although the Clowers Group and the Laurence Group had similar strength in the domestic market, the Laurence Group was a top enterprise in A Country. 

The Clowers Group people wouldn’t object to Sophie dismissing the dinner, and all their eyes turned to Bernard. 

None of them dared to be the first to leave as long as the icy Bernard hadn’t left. 

Bernard said nonchalantly, “Let’s go,” and started walking out hand in hand with Sophie. 

Seeing Bernard, who was rumored to be indifferent to women, take Sophie’s hand by his initiative, everyone was stunned. 

Their relationship seemed to be even closer than everyone had imagined. 

Would the Ratliff Group get the West City–area project because of this connection? 

This was what the Clowers Group was most worried about, otherwise they wouldn’t have used special means to target the Ratliff Group. 

Hearing the door open from inside, Eleanor quickly stood up. 

Seeing Bernard and Sophie walk out holding hands., her eyes trembled slightly. She wanted to pretend nothing happened and looked away, but her eyes were uncontrollably drawn to Bernard’s tight grip on Sophie’s hand. 

He was gripping her so tightly that the vein in his arm was popping out, obviously showing the importance of the person in his palm. 

Remembering how she accidentally bumped into him earlier and how he had looked at her with disgust, her heart felt like it was being wrapped tightly by vines, making it hard to breathe. 

She had fantasized countless times that one day Bernard would hold her hand like this, but it was just a dream. 

Bernard would never take her hand in public, and that was the difference between her and Sophie. 

As the two brushed past her, Sophie suddenly stopped. 

She turned around and reminded Eleanor, “Eleanor, remember to take Mr. Clowers back to the hotel.” 

Eleanor snapped out of her thoughts and nodded, “Okay” 

Only then did Sophie smile and hold Bernard’s arm, walking towards the elevator. 

With their backs turned, Eleanor dared to lift her head and gaze at the two figures. 

Bernard and Sophie were meant to be together. 

While she was just a coincidence, a passerby. 

Eleanor curved her lips, let out a relieved smile, this bit of pain meant nothing to her. 

Give her some time to let go, and she would forget Bernard just as she forgot Garett
