Chapter 848
“Some dude named 2 just called for you What’s the deal with that? Who is he? Why the code name?”
Bernard took the phone with a poker face, let go of Eleanor’s hand, and headed to his study
Cedric felt something was off when he saw Bernard walk away to take the call. He jabbed at Eleanor’s clothes with his pen.
“Eleanor, aren’t you curious about who this “Z quy is?”
Eleanor, knowing it was Caleb who called, shook her head at Cedric
“You’re so laid back
Cedric, unaware of Bernard’s alter ego, pointed to the man standing outside his study, frowning as he listened to the phone.
“Look at Bernard handsome and fit, he’s a total babe magnet when he’s out.”
“That “Z” is probably some seductive young girl. You better watch out!”
That seductive young girl was video calling Bernard.
“Mr Laurence ”
Bernard’s eyes widened slightly when he saw Caleb on the screen.
“What happened to you?”
“Don’t even ask”
Caleb touched his swollen face, complaining
“I had to change my identity to get close to Robin Spencer’s sister, and now I’m her bodyguard
“Who knew she’d be stronger than a bodyguard and insist on dragging me out for workouts every morning?”
“My face, my head, all battered by her…”
“I’m beginning to wonder if she knows I have ulterior motives for being around her.”
“And also
“Stick to the point”
Bernard cut off Caleb’s lengthy complaints
Seeing that Bernard wasn’t in the mood for his woes, Caleb reluctantly fell silent.
“Do you remember Mr. Ben?”
“Uh huh”
Mr Ben was his subordinate, so of course he remembered.
“I tried to contact him recently to check on Robin, but I couldn’t reach him”
“Others said he disappeared after dealing with Sophie.”
“Everyone thought he had taken a solo mission from headquarters, so he didn’t report to me.”
Their Siren Organization had both team and solo missions, so this wasn’t unusual. But the thing is…

“Once I couldn’t reach him, I sent someone to check up on him. It turned out that Mr. Ben had betrayed the Siren Organization and switched sides to Area Opaca.”
Bernard’s face darkened Members of the Siren Organization were always loyal, they wouldn’t just up and join Area Opaco for no reason
“You said Mr. Ben disappeared after dealing with Sophie?
“That’s right.”
“Weren’t you supposed to handle Sophie yourself? Why was it, Mr. Ben?”
Caleb was clearly remorseful about this.
Im sorry You had asked me to investigate your brother’s death I was so eager to get to it that I passed the Sophie thing to Mr. Ben”

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...
