Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 76

Just as Harvey was about to drive home, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from his client.

His client's voice trembled anxiously, "Attorney, they suddenly have new evidence, and it's really bad for me!"

Holding the steering wheel, Harvey took a deep breath.

Frowning, he said, "Send me the files!"

After hanging up, he quickly received the files. It seemed like a tough nut to crack.

Harvey, being a very career-oriented man, didn't hesitate to get out of the car, go back to his law firm, and declare that he was pulling an all-nighter.

The office was instantly filled with sighs.

It wasn't until 3 in the morning that Harvey remembered he'd promised Eloise he'd be home that night. She probably had dinner ready for him and had drawn a bath.

Picking up his phone, he thought about calling her, but figured she must be asleep.

In the end, he just sent her a message: I got some urgent work to do. I'll meet you at the hotel tomorrow night.

Just as he finished sending the message, Denise walked in with a stack of documents.

"Attorney, the meeting is ready."

Late at night, at the apartment.

Eloise was slumped over the dining table, her face paled under the dim light.

Her phone vibrated a few times on the table.

Eloise woke with a start. After seeing the message, she knew he couldn't be home tonight. She stared at the message for a while before slowly clearing the table and letting out the bathwater.

The bathwater, which had been filled with essential oils, was completely cold.

After taking a quick wash, Eloise climbed into bed. Despite being tired, she couldn't fall asleep, probably because she missed him.

The next morning, Veronica called her.

Eloise's voice was a bit hoarse as she answered.

Veronica joked, "It's almost 10, Eloise. Are you still sleeping? Looks like Attorney has some stamina."

Eloise's cheeks turned a little red.
