A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 71

What Sophie meant was that good looks wouldn't help Eleanor marry into a wealthy family; she'd also need a strong background or a good education.

Sophie, a perfect combo of beauty and brains, sure knew how to humiliate people without using any profanity but still hitting them which it really hurt.

Eleanor squeezed her hand, glancing coldly at her, "Ms. Ratliff, whether I want to marry a rich man or not, it has nothing to do with my resignation. Even if you're the CEO, you can't control my personal life, right?"

Sophie never expected Eleanor to make a sarcastic comment about her meddling. Her face immediately darkened, "Of course, I'm just kindly reminding you. If you give up this great job opportunity and take a risk of your own, you won’t get a second change in VitaLife Global if you regret it later."

Seeing that Sophie was giving in, Eleanor didn't push it further. In her mind, once Sophie approved her resignation, she’d quickly find Rosita for the work handover and leave. But to her surprise, Sophie suddenly said, "I'll definitely allow you to resign, but not at the moment."

Eleanor frowned, confused, "What are you trying to say?"

Sophie sighed, somewhat helplessly, "You know that VitaLife Global's branch office in B City isn't doing well, and the Clowers Group is dominating B City. If VitaLife Global wants to grow, they need the Clowers Group's help, but they never lend a hand to us. Now that you're involved with Mr. Clowers, I hope you’ll stay. With you here, the Clowers Group should give us at least some help."

Basically, Sophie wouldn't let her resign because Eleanor still had some value to the company.

So that was the reason behind.

Unfortunately, Sophie got it wrong. With Eleanor around, Jason would be even less inclined to offer help.

She didn't want to argue with Sophie anymore; she was too tired and couldn't hold up physically.
