A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 50

"Are you going to see the President?"

Beautiful Sophie, dressed in professional attire, asked Eleanor, who was waiting for the elevator but hesitated to get in, with confusion.

Eleanor snapped back to reality, hurriedly shook her head and said, "Sorry, I forgot to get something. Ms. Ratliff, you guys go ahead."

She then turned around and left without daring to look at them for too long.

Sophie watched Eleanor disappear and couldn't help but say to Bernard, "What a weird assistant. We're not monsters, why is she so scared that she won't even share an elevator with us?"

Bernard didn't respond, his indifferent eyes showed no emotion as if he had no interest in anything around him.

Seeing this, Sophie stretched out her slender hand and draped it around his arm, softly thanking him, "Bernard, thank you for taking me to the ER that night. I've been abroad for the past few years and not used to the food there; I developed gastritis, and it keeps coming back. I really appreciate your help."

That day her father took her to visit the Laurence family and they discussed their engagement. In her excitement, she had a few more drinks than she should have, not thinking it would upset her stomach like that. Fortunately, Bernard was kind enough not to refuse her request to take her to the ER in front of everyone.

She'd been trying to find an opportunity to thank him, but every time she visited the Laurence Group, his assistant said he wasn't there. If it weren't for her father needing to speak to him today, she might never have had the chance to say thank you.

Bernard glanced at her hand on his arm, then coldly said, "You wrinkled my clothes."

Sophie quickly released his arm, lowered her head, and asked with disappointment, "Hasn't your mysophobia been cured yet?"

Bernard wiped his clothes with a handkerchief and replied coldly, "It can't be cured."

Sophie was taken aback.

On her first day at work, he had held her hand and even allowed her to sit on his lap accidentally, and he didn't seem to mind.
