A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 380

His words brought back a rush of embarrassing memories that turned Eleanor’s face a fiery red in an instant.

Bernard, on the other hand, seemed unfazed as he reached out to touch her burning cheek.

“Ms. Shultz, you've been in the wrong with Garett since last night anyway, so why get hung up on the details?”

Without waiting for Eleanor's reply, he scooped her up and headed toward the bathroom.

Upon placing her in the bathtub, he said, “You look worn out. Get a good rest after your bath.”

Bernard took the bath towel handed to him by a servant, placed it on the rack, and left the bathroom.

Eleanor stared at the closed door and let out a deep sigh.

Bernard was right. No matter how much she didn't want to get entangled with him, this was already a fact.

Thinking about these things made her feel heavy, depressed, and extremely tired.

She decided to stop thinking, stripped off her dress, filled the tub with water, and laid in it while staring blankly at the ceiling lights.

After leaving the bathroom, Bernard strode into his study. Seeing him come in, Caleb quickly got up from the sofa.

“Mr. Laurence, you're back.”

Bernard simply nodded, sat down at the desk, and looked at Caleb with cold indifference.

“How are things going in W City?”

“The people who needed to be dealt with have been taken care of. They won't be a threat to the branch anymore.”

“There's one more thing to be done.”

“Please tell me, Mr. Laurence.”

Bernard tossed two hotel room cards onto the table.

“A few notorious criminals in W City stole from these two suites last night. Retrieve the items.”

“Yes, sir.”
