Chapter 858
Upon their return to A City. Bernard swiftly guided Aidyn to the Lawrence Group Liana retreated to the hospital, while Pearce explored their new home with Eleanor
After wandering the Fiord Roundabout with Pearce, Eleanor led him to her study. On entering. Pearce acknowledged, “Mr. Laurence knows how to pamper a lady, gifting you such a spacious study”
As Eleanor brewed coffee, she responded, “After the wedding and honeymoon, I need to dive into Emilia’s designs. So, I need my study” Bernard had his pursuits, and she
had her career
Once married, they each attended to their own affairs in harmony. What’s wrong with a simple life, right?
Handing Pearce his coffee, she asked, “You mentioned a client wanting me to visit the construction site?”
Pearce took a sip of the coffee and smiled lightly after tasting his favorite flavor, “Indeed, they requested your presence”
“Which one was it again?”
Eleanor sat on the sofa opposite Pearce. She had glanced at the client’s name before but didn’t pay much attention to it.
Upon hearing this, Pearce sat up straight and said seriously. “North Funland, the Sharp family, ever heard of them?”
Seeing Pearce being so serious, Eleanor guessed the Sharp family must be a big deal.
“I don’t keep up with financial news, just spill the beans.”
“Chairman Yates Sharp, is a big shot in North Funland, very influential, has prestige and status, quite a big deal. Heard he even established many elite organizations
Such a heavy hitter wants Emilia to do the design?
“Why does he want Emilia to check in person?”
“I’m not sure about that. When I went, they rejected me, insisting that the chief designer should go.”
Eleanor frowned ‘He’s not an Emilia fan, is he?”
Pearce nearly spit out his coffee. Luckily, Eleanor dodged quickly, or she would have been drenched.
Pearce wiped his mouth with a napkin.
“Yates is in his seventies, how could he be an Emilia fan?”
“Some old guys in their seventies like young women…
He grimaced, showing an awkward smile.
“You got a point there”
“Right? It’s not unheard of.”
Pearce stopped talking and focused on his coffee.
A while later, Eleanor asked again, “Should I finish the designs for the other companies first, then go check the site there?”
“That could work, their person in charge said they’re willing to wait until whenever you’re available.”
That sounded nice? Eleanor felt something was off, “Is there a catch?”
Pearce glanced at her, “What are you scared of? You just go check the site and we can head back. Scared of a wealthy businessman
Eleanor didn’t ask any further, she walked over to her desk, picked up a business card and handed it to Pearce, “Here, for you…”
Pearce glanced at the card and looked up. “What’s this?”
Eleanor put her hands behind her back, and put on a bright smile, “A gift I bought for you with the bonus, as a thank you for your guidance.”
After finishing, she pointed to the number on the card. ‘Contact them directly. They’ll deliver it to you once it’s ready”

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...
