A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 52

Sophie was really beating around the bush.

On one hand, she reminded Eleanor that her resignation hadn't been approved yet, so she was still a VitaLife Global employee, and she should do whatever the President arranged for her.

On the other hand, she told Eleanor that she had already pissed off the President by publicly rejecting him, so even though she didn't want to, she had to do what he asked now.

Eleanor caught Sophie's drift and sighed inside. She had been too impulsive just now and ended up blabbing without thinking.

With the current situation, it would be a bit immature for her to refuse again.

Eleanor reluctantly agreed. She figured she might as well do one last thing for VitaLife Global.

She turned around and walked out. Cameron glanced at her retreating figure, took back his disdainful gaze, and looked at Bernard.

"Bernard, would you like to attend the dinner tonight?" His tone carried a gentle undertone, tinged with flattery. Even his eyes exuded warmth and friendliness.

Bernard reclined on the sofa, one hand supporting his forehead while the other held his phone. He remained engrossed in the screen, never lifting his gaze.

Cameron assumed that Bernard's silence meant he had no interest in attending, so he swiftly interjected, "The Clowers Group and VitaLife Global are embroiled in a conflict over the west city development project. Naturally, it should be the president of VitaLife Global who handles it. As the initiator of the bidding meeting, you should steer clear of any suspicion."

The people at the Clowers Group thought that since Bernard was close to their daughter, he might be biased towards them. So they have been secretly trying to cause trouble for the Ratliff Group behind the scenes, hoping to force them to withdraw from the bidding.

How could Cameron give up such a great opportunity? So he deliberately arranged tonight's dinner in front of Bernard.

The reason he asked Bernard if he wanted to go was actually because he wanted him to help Sophie mediate the relationship between the two parties. Because only with the initiator, Bernard, attending would the people from the Clowers Group be obedient. Otherwise, relying on his daughter alone to mediate the situation definitely wouldn't work.

But seeing that Bernard was not willing, he had to make his words a bit more subtle. After all, he didn't know how Bernard felt about Sophie now, so he couldn't ask him to do things as his future father-in-law.

Bernard put away his phone, looked indifferently at the excited Cameron, and said, "Send me the address."
