Chapter 72
Eleanor slowly turned around, looking at the haughty Sophie leaning against her office chair.
Sophie’s radiance made Eleanor feel like a pathetic weed.
She had never felt small before, but at this moment, she felt desperate.
It felt like being crushed mercilessly by the winner, and no matter how she struggled, it would be useless.
She had no background, no social status, and no influence; she was just an ordinary person. So, she could be easily threatened, trampled on, and insulted.
She gave up resisting fate and numbly asked Sophie, “What do you want me to do to let me quit?”
She had initially borrowed 30,000 dollars, and the six–fold penalty would be 180,000 dollars. She didn’t have that much money, so she had to give in.
Sophie became even more arrogant when she saw Eleanor’s attitude, “It’s simple. Just entertain Mr. Clowers. Once he returns to B City, I’ll let you go.”
Eleanor didn’t mind not being able to quit, but accompanying Jason was something she didn’t want to do, “Mr. Clowers may not want me to accompany him.”
Sophie laughed, “I’ve seen that picture several times. He seems to like you from the way he looks at you, so he’ll definitely want you to be with him.”
Eleanor wanted to say something else, but Sophie cut her off sternly. “Just do as I say.”
It seemed that Sophie firmly believed that she and Jason had a close relationship and wouldn’t let her go without exploiting her to the fullest.
Capitalists were heartless.
Eleanor, knowing that further arguments were futile, responded coldly, “I hope you won’t break your promise then.”
Sophie folded her arms across her chest and gave her a reassuring look, “I always keep my promises.”
Such hypocrisy.
Eleanor turned around again and left.
Amanda saw her return to the office and sarcastically said, “Some people have great skills in hooking up with business partners. She even hooked up with the president of the Clowers Group in just one day, made it to his bed, and had her photos all over Instagram. Shameless.”
Leila, another colleague, looked at Eleanor with jealous eyes and said, “She has a good figure, and those bosses like girls like her.” Amanda sneered, “How good could her figure be if she hadn’t been with so many men?”
Leila followed with a light laugh, “Yeah, after being with so many men, it’s a different story. Not only does she have a good figure, but her skin is also delicate. I guess that stuff really works.”

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...
