They were almost running late when they hopped in the car.
Sitting next to Harvey, Eloise couldn't bear to look directly at him. She couldn't help but wonder how long he had been flying solo that he had such little self-control.
He seemed to want to do that thing all the time.
Perhaps guessing what she was thinking, Harvey pulled over.
He took her hand, his fingers lightly tracing her palm.
"What do you think?"
Eloise didn't want to guess. She looked out the car window, her cheeks flushed, trying to hide her thoughts.
Harvey gently stroked her soft cheek and chuckled, "I'm not as messed up as you think. I don't have any other women around. I'm too busy with work to chase after women."
Eloise blushed.
He was so shameless!
If he wasn't chasing women, then what the heck had he been doing these past few days?
Harvey leaned in close to her ear and teased, "Ms. Laurent, you're always so impatient. Who's chasing whom here?"
Eloise was so embarrassed. She couldn't stand his teasing and decided to give him the silent treatment.
However, at the party, she was very respectful to Harvey.
Harvey was quite well-known and influential in Peterborough. As soon as he entered the party hall, he was surrounded by a crowd. Everyone was amazed by Harvey's companion.
Recently, they had all heard the rumors that Horigan was smitten with a woman, and everyone was curious to see her. The woman was indeed beautiful, with soft, tender eyes that easily drew people's sympathy.
While Harvey chatted with people, Eloise stood clinging to his arm, wisely not interrupting him.
Worried that she might get bored, Harvey intended to take her to grab some food and sit for a while.
"Brother."
A soft voice rang out. It was Orlena, accompanied by Max.
