Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 56

Eloise walked behind Harvey, both of them headed back to the apartment.

She pondered a bit and decided to ask him, "Did you make a move on Velona Corporation?"

Harvey paused, casually retorting, "Are you trying to stick up for Max?"

"No." Eloise awkwardly fiddled with the two bottles of wine in her hands.

Harvey watched her for a moment before lounging on the sofa, flicking on the finance news. After a while, noticing Eloise still standing there, he casually said, "Aren't you gonna cook?"

Eloise nodded.

As she changed into her casual clothes, she couldn't help but wonder, did Harvey even need to eat? Her main duties now seemed to be cooking, cleaning, running errands for him – she felt like a live-in maid.

Who would've thought? Harvey was surprisingly set in his ways.

While Eloise cooked, Harvey busied himself with phone calls. Just as he hung up and was about to hit the shower, Eloise's phone on the coffee table lit up.

Harvey glanced towards the kitchen, then nonchalantly picked up Eloise's phone.

Knowing her password, he easily unlocked it and saw two Facebook messages from Max.

[So, some people's affection is worthless, huh? It changes over night!]

Harvey scoffed, "Such a fool."

With a poker face, he replied: [If it's worthless, then chuck it in the trash!]

After replying, he promptly deleted the messages, and even blocked Max.

Eloise prepared four dishes and a soup, visually pleasing and tasty. Among them was a Mexican chili prawn stir fry, her signature dish that everyone who'd tried it said was delicious.

After the meal was prepared, she called Harvey to eat, but he was still engrossed in the finance news. After she called him a couple of times, he lethargically got up, his face not exactly friendly.

Eloise guessed his mood was bad and didn't dare to provoke him.

After a few bites, Harvey abruptly said, "None of these dishes are what I like."

Eloise was taken aback.
