A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 866

Hearing that Eleanor had left, he hopped up in an instant, not hesitating to stride out of the room, making a beeline for the elevator.

Eleanor and Scott exchanged glances, then walked over and gave him a light pat on the shoulder, "Honey, I'm right here, where the heck are you off to?"

Bernard turned his head to see Eleanor smiling at him in the sunlight, his mood instantly brightening up.

Eleanor held up the lunchbox in her hand, giving it a little shake in front of him, "Let's mosey on over to your office for lunch."

Seeing the lunchbox in her hand, a surprised smile couldn't help but spread across Bernard's face. My wife brought me lunch at the office, how sweet!

Bernard took the lunchbox in one hand, with his other hand he held Eleanor's, guiding her into the CEO's office.

"What did the chef to prepare?"

"Actually, I made it myself—four dishes and a soup, all your favorites. Even Nina doesn't get treated like this."

On hearing this, Bernard's grin broadened.

"How could Nina possibly compete with me?"

Seeing his self-satisfied expression, Eleanor couldn't resist ribbing him.

"Had I known a hot babe was delivering your lunch, I wouldn't have made the effort."

Bernard's fingers, mid-way in opening the lunchbox, halted.

"Dear, that assistant took it upon herself to bring my lunch. She didn't have my consent. Don't get the wrong impression. I've already sacked her."

Eleanor propped her cheek on one hand, looking at the flustered Bernard.

"You didn't just kick her out because I was coming, did you?"

"I..."

"No need to explain, I know what men are like when they're at work."

Bernard put down the lunchbox, wrapped his arm around Eleanor's waist, and pulled her onto his lap.

"Eleanor, I'm not like other men, you're the only one for me, don't make jokes like that."

Eleanor, who had been planning to continue the joke, saw his serious face and decided to zip it.

"I was just kidding."

"Even joking is off-limits."

Eleanor said nothing further.
