A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 38

She anticipated that Josef would not let her go once he got the contract.

But she was under the influence of sleeping pills!

It was all the fault of the man in the bathroom!

If it weren't for him impersonating Josef and messing up her plan, she would not have been so nervous that her hands trembled, arousing Josef's suspicion.

In the current situation, what could she do? Was she really going to be forced by Josef?

Just as she was nervously sweating, the vibration of Josef’s phone interrupted his groping hands.

"Answer your phone first."

Eleanor seized this opportunity to quickly push Josef away and get up from him.

Josef thought she could not escape tonight, so he didn't bother with her.

He took out his phone and quickly answered when he saw the displayed number.

Eleanor only heard him become extremely respectful after answering the phone, nodding and bowing.

So she guessed that the caller was a big shot that even Josef dared not offend, but she didn't know who it was.

However, she didn't care about who was on the call, what she needed to think about now was how to resolve the current difficult situation!

Josef picked up the contract while on the phone, "Is there a problem? I didn't notice anything."

Eleanor couldn't hear the other party's voice, she only heard Josef continue: "Now?"

After a pause, he said again, "Alright, I'll be right there."

Upon hearing he was leaving, Eleanor was even more anxious. If she couldn't deal with Josef tonight, she'd be finished as soon as the bidding meeting started tomorrow!

She wanted to stop Josef, but he picked up the contract, wrapped his arm around her waist, and kissed her face.

"Baby, I suddenly have an emergency to deal with, wait for me here."

Seeing that he would come back, Eleanor did not stop him.

If Josef didn't achieve his goal, he would definitely come back. In that case, she could wait a bit longer.
