A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 633

Eleanor was working her butt off for her wedding gifts, doing her best to finish the designs, but no matter how fast she pedaled, she couldn't beat the impending wedding day. She ended up only designing eight architectural drawings and when she handed them over to Pearce, she was worn to the bone: "Go finalize the handover and turn these into cash ASAP!"

Pearce was sat at his desk, munching an apple while eyeing Eleanor: "You're about to marry the richest dude in the whole A Country, why are you busting your chops?"

If he was married off to a wealthy woman, he wouldn't even glance at the golden paintbrush, someone else would be footing the bill, he wouldn't need to lift a finger to draw.

Eleanor, sprawled on the table, peeking at the PPT for the next project, murmured: "Mr. Hooper, I need to get my wedding gifts ready..."

She was going it alone, without any family, and since someone was taking her as his wife, she wanted to do it with some dignity.

Thinking of her wedding, Eleanor immediately raised her eyes towards Pearce's pocket: "Mr. Hooper, the Laurence Group project brought in a billion, you took a 30% cut, you're not strapped for cash, right? Could you lend me some?"

Pearce immediately clutched his pocket: "Don't even think about my money, I'm not short of anything except money, you think too highly of me if you expect me to lend money!”

Eleanor reached out, snatched the apple from his hand: "No borrowing, no eating my apple!"

Pearce was left speechless. Just as he was reaching for the fruit plate on the table, Eleanor scooped it up and put it on the floor.

Hailey recently got a pug that'd been tailing Eleanor. Seeing her drop the fruit, it pounced on it, licking it all over.

Pearce thought, an orange licked by a dog, if peeled, should still be edible, right?

While Pearce was caught between disgust and hunger, Eleanor bent over, shooed the pug, and scolded it: "Pippy, do not eat everything you see!”
