A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 72

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.” 

Amanda stared at Eleanor walking over and snickered, “Rich people love to play dirty games. Who knows how many… Ah!” 

Before she could finish, she was splashed with a large cup of cold water by Eleanor. Drenched from head to toe, Amanda was instantly infuriated and began trembling all over. 

She slammed the table and pointed at Eleanor, yelling. “You bitch, how dare you splash water on me! I swear I’ll… Ah!” 

Before she could finish her sentence, Eleanor threw another cup of water at her. 

Amanda was stunned, not expecting Eleanor to throw water at her face again. Everyone around was also dumbfounded. Eleanor ignored the gazes of others, and coldly looked at Amanda, it’s bad enough that you gossip about me in front of the colleagues. But to badmouth me in front of Ms. Ratliff too? That’s just too much! 

She held the cup in her hand, shook it in front of Amanda and said, “You should be thankful that I splashed you with water, not sulfuric acid if it were the latter, your face would be ruined.”
