A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 56

Jason brought quite a few people along with him, and they couldn’t all fit in one van, so Eleanor had to call for another business

van.

Senior executives took the other cars, and Jason and his bodyguards rode in Eleanor’s van.

Eleanor didn’t talk to Jason during the drive, focusing on driving and taking him to a five–star restaurant.

In the luxurious private dining room, Sophie and some of the vice presidents of VitaLife Global had already arrived. Only Bernard had not yet arrived.

After arranging for Jason and his party to be seated, Sophie went out and asked Eleanor, “Have you sent the address to Mr. Laurence?”

Eleanor nodded, “I did.”

Though she wasn’t sure if Bernard had seen the WhatsApp message, she had sent the address to him, and whether he came or not had nothing to do with her.

“Ms. Ratliff, I’ll be leaving first.”

Now that she had done her job of picking them up, there was no need for her to stay.

Just as she turned to leave, Sophie stopped her.

“Eleanor, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Go book a hotel for Mr. Clowers. After it’s all over, we’ll have to ask you to drive them back to the hotel.”

Eleanor was about to refuse, but Sophie gave her a pleading look. I know you want to quit, but before you do, this is still part of your job, isn’t it? If you take care of Mr. Clowers well today, I’ll approve your resignation request when we get back, okay?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Sophie’s words were somewhat threatening, but thinking that she could resign after this, Eleanor didn’t refuse.

After getting their identification information from Jason’s assistant, she sat outside the private dining room, took out her phone, and booked a hotel.

This dinner was organized by VitaLife Global to improve the relationship with the Clowers Group.

Naturally, those attending were all CEOs, executives, and the like. As a mere assistant, she didn’t need to join in and could wait

outside.

After booking the hotel, she put down her phone, intending to go to the restroom.

She got up a bit too quickly, felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground

Luckily, a strong hand behind her quickly supported her waist and held her up.

“Ms. Shultz, what’s wrong?”

Eleanor leaned against him, panting for a while before looking up at the person who had helped her.

Due to the lack of blood supply to her brain, her vision was blurry. She could only make out a silhouette, knowing that it was Jason, and immediately pushed him away.

“It’s nothing, just a bit of low blood sugar,‘ she said, thanking him quietly.

Jason noticed her pale face and frowned slightly

“Are you sick?”

“No”

Eleanor shook her head.

Seeing her deliberately keeping a distance from him, he didn’t ask any further.

He said, “I’m going to the restroom” and walked away.

Eleanor wanted to go to the restroom too, but she was too dizzy to walk at the moment.

She had no choice but to lean against the door frame and sit back down.

Fortunately, the dizziness came and went quickly, and she soon recovered.

When she tried to get up to go to the bathroom again, she accidentally saw Bernard standing at the elevator entrance.

He was wearing a tailored dark–blue suit, looking tall and straight.

Soft yellow light sprinkled on him, casting a faint glow that made him look extremely noble.

The face obscured by dim light was deep and breathtakingly attractive.

It seemed like he had been standing there for quite a long time.

Seeing him made Eleanor nervous. As she was thinking about whether she should hide or not, Bernard suddenly walked towards her with his long legs.

With nowhere to hide, Eleanor could only tightly grip her cell phone, swiftly turn around, and face away from him.

The cold gaze from behind once again fell upon her, and she could feel the icy atmosphere gradually surrounding her.

Feeling a bit short of breath, she gripped her phone even harder.

“Do you expect me to open the door myself?”

The cold voice sounded above her head.

Eleanor hurriedly turned around with her head lowered, not realizing how close the man behind her was.

Her sudden motion made her petite and fragile body bump directly into the strong, firm chest of the man behind her.
