A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 806

The bodyguard couldn't convince him, so he pulled out a lighter, flicked it on, and held the flame up to the cigarette that Cedric had stuck in his mouth.

“Mr. Laurence, don't inhale on your first drag, you'll cough…”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Before the bodyguard could finish his sentence, Cedric had already taken a draw, inhaling deeply, and started coughing non-stop.

“Mr. Laurence, are you okay?”

The bodyguard, scared out of his wits, started patting Cedric's back in a frenzy.

Not wanting to hurt him, Cedric ended up scratching his back lightly, like tickling him, but it didn't help at all.

Cedric adjusted his breath on his own, then picked up the cigarette again and put it back in his mouth.

If Hailey can smoke, why can't he?

Before he could even clamp down on the cigarette, a fair hand reached over and snatched it out of his mouth.

“And you still want to smoke like this?”

Seeing Chase, dressed in a white suit and behaving elegantly, Cedric's face darkened even more.

“Give it back!”

Chase ignored him, lifted the cigarette, and threw it into a trash can not far away in an arc.

“Keep this up and don't blame me for calling Veronica Laurence to come and get you.”

If Bernard, the CEO of the Laurence Group, is not around, getting Veronica would definitely restrain an out-of-control Cedric.

Thinking of Veronica's stern and selfless face, Cedric didn't ask for the cigarette again, but the anger on his face didn't subside.

Chase saw that he was pretty pissed off, reached out and gently patted his shoulder.
