Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1136

Matthew left the office. Miguel followed suit, muttering in a grievance, "You're barking up the wrong tree. I'm doing this for your own good."

They took the elevator to the underground parking lot and then drove away.

On the other side, Eleanor left Metric Technology and drove alone on the street. Feeling extremely upset, she called Troy. "I want to drink."

Troy sensed that something was wrong. "Where are you?"

"I'm..." Eleanor looked around and shouted, "How would I know where I am? I'm not familiar with Bloomstead. I'll send you my location."

After hanging up the phone, she opened WhatsApp to share her location. He arrived soon. He found her sitting on a bench by the river, surprised to see that she was crying.

Having seen and gotten used to her cold and prideful demeanor ever since day one, he never expected to see her cry.

"Why are you crying? Who bullied you?" He leaned over slightly and tilted his head to check on her.

Eleanor appeared pitiful and vulnerable with those red, teary eyes.

"Who else could it be? It's your boss and Miguel Lynch." She stood up abruptly. "Be my drinking buddy for the day."

"The bars are not open for business at this hour. Where do you wanna drink?"

"At home." Grabbing Troy's tie, she pulled him into the car. They drove back to Axies Villa in no time.

She had the chef prepare lunch. Sitting in the dining room, she opened several bottles of red wine in one go. She poured Troy a full glass and clinked the glasses before downing the entire drink.
