Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 16

After wrapping up at work, Harvey turned down a few offers and drove himself to the restaurant.

At 8 p.m., the busiest time for the restaurant, Eloise was at the piano. She was in a smoky grey long dress tonight, baring her shoulders subtly, with her silky long hair resting gently around her waist.

She looked stunning, radiating a romantic aura.

Harvey, from behind his car window, watched her quietly for about ten minutes before he got out of the car and pushed the door open to go in. He ordered some random food and leaned back in his chair, continuing to listen to Eloise playing the piano.

He noticed that men approached her from time to time, clearly attracted by Eloise's charm. Eloise, however, always declined politely.

During her break, Eloise received a business card.

Prestige Legal Advisors, Attorney Harvey.

Eloise turned around and saw Harvey. He was sitting in a corner, holding a pre-dinner drink in his hand. He looked handsome and carried himself with grace.

Eloise didn't want to have too much contact with him, but she also didn't dare to offend him. So she went over. "Attorney Horigan."

Harvey nodded lightly, signaling her to sit down. As soon as Eloise sat down, Harvey noticed the fresh needle mark on the back of her hand. He guessed it might have been the result of catching a cold from the rain last night.

"Ms. Laurent, have you had dinner? Let's eat something together." Harvey was all business, a stark contrast to his earlier frivolity when handing over his business card.

Eloise put the business card on the table, saying somewhat awkwardly, "The restaurant has a policy that employees are not allowed to dine with customers during working hours."

Harvey didn't even look at the business card. He asked her, "What about after work? Would you have time to have a drink with me?"
