A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 53

Eleanor had just booked a restaurant on her phone when Cameron called again.

"Eleanor, send the restaurant address to Mr. Laurence too."

He hung up without giving Eleanor a chance to speak. Frowning, she put down the phone, opened WhatsApp, and sent the address to Bernard's assistant.

The assistant replied, "Ms. Schultz, I can't reach Mr. Laurence at the moment. Please send it to his WhatsApp."

Eleanor had no choice but to unblock Bernard's WhatsApp, quickly forwarded the address, and blocked him again.

After sorting that out, she grabbed the keys to the company van and headed to the parking lot.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Bernard emerge from the private elevator, wearing a black coat and taking long strides.

Eleanor's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned around, pretending she didn't see him.

She thought he'd ignore her and leave, but surprisingly, he walked towards her.

Eleanor nervously clenched her fists, as her legs refused to move.

She could clearly sense his footsteps behind her, slowing to a stop.

It seemed he was staring at her back.

Eleanor didn't need to turn around to visualize the expression in Bernard's eyes. Coldness, indifference, contempt, disdain, and disgust likely filled his gaze.

Holding her breath, she witnessed the Bugatti in front of her suddenly roar to life. Bernard bypassed her, opened the driver's door, and effortlessly slid into the car.

With his gaze lowered, he started the engine, gripped the wheel with one hand, and smoothly drove out of the parking garage without casting a single glance in her direction.

Once Bernard departed, Eleanor's tensed body relaxed.
