A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 754

Cedric was sitting in the VIP lounge of the Oceanview Hotel, schmoozing with several internationally renowned CEOs.

As he had temporarily acted as CEO in the past, every time Bernard took a vacation or was otherwise engaged, the CEO duties would fall back onto him.

He wasn't fond of management, but when it came to socializing, he was far better than Bernard. Whether it was knocking back drinks, having fun, or discussing projects, he was a natural.

Of course, the smooth negotiations were mainly due to the support of the Lawrence Group behind him. Most of the people who invited him out were just trying to get close to him.

Cedric was well aware of this. He planned to down a few drinks and then head home.

But the other party seemed to know his love for fun and invited some fresh faces to join him.

"These ladies, I brought them over from abroad. What do you think?"

The speaker was some hot-shot CEO who thought that bringing a few sexy foreign ladies would help him get closer to Cedric.

But he clearly didn't know Cedric well. Even though Cedric liked to have fun, he wasn't down to play with just anyone.

Cedric leaned on the sofa with one leg draped over the other, a wine glass perched on his knee.

He tapped the glass absent-mindedly, looking a bit impatient, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, the foreign ladies mustered their courage, walked up to him, poured him a drink, and tried to give him a shoulder massage.

But before their hands could even touch his shoulders, his smile stopped them in their tracks: "Don't touch me."

His face bore a gentle smile, his eyes curved like crescent moons, also laughing.

But the coldness in his eyes was like a bone-chilling frost, an inherent sense of nobility that ordinary people couldn't match.

When he smiled, it was even more terrifying than when he was stone-faced.

This fear was bone-deep, making people involuntarily feel scared.

Just one look was enough for the girls to realize that he was not someone to mess with.
