A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

Once she’d gotten everything ready, Josef sent his assistant Wyatt to pick her up

Eleanor grabbed her bag and got into a Maybach

She thought Wyatt would take her straight to Josef’s house, but to her surprise, he took her to a mall

Several stylists and makeup artists surrounded her, putting her long wavy hair into an updo and applying a delicate makeup look

She tried on a very expensive evening gown that seemed tailormade for her, looking perfect without any flaws

A diamond necklace worth tens of millions added to her elegance

Looking at her gorgeous reflection in the mirror, she felt unfamiliar, like she was Sophie, not herself

If Bernard saw her like this, he might think she was deliberately imitating Sophie

She laughed mockingly, a bitter smile on her lips

After the makeover, Wyatt quickly took her to the Midnight Bar

This was the biggest spending spot in A City, where the rich and powerful came

Privacy was a priority here, with no surveillance cameras or chances to get footage, so many wealthy people liked to do unsavory things

Josef chose this place, possibly wanting to rape her

The thought of being violated made her heart race like an elevator speeding up

As the elevator approached the top floor, she steadied herself, clutching her bag tightly and following Wyatt out to the box entrance

With a VIP card, Wyatt opened the luxurious automatic door

As the door opened, dim and ambiguous light flowed out, along with soothing music knocking gently on her ear

Eleanor was surprised since she thought Josef would prefer a barlike atmosphere, but the decor here was highend and classy. Even the music wasn’t deafening like in a barquite comfy, actually

As Eleanor stood at the door taking it all in, a strong hand suddenly wrapped around her waist

Josef pulled her into his embrace, kissing her cheek, Baby, you look so beautiful today.” 

Disgusted, she tried to dodge his touch but accidentally saw a man sitting on the couch

He wore a white shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing a fascinating collarbone

g firm 

His rolledup sleeves exposing firm arms and long, slender fingers holding a wine glass

The red wine in the glass gleamed like blood under the dim light, just like the sinister scarlet in the eyes that stared at her

Eleanor hadn’t expected Bernard to be here, tooquite a surprise

She thought Bernard and Josef weren’t in the same circle

The Laurence Group, after all, controlled the whole A Country’s economic lifelinewhile the Caporal Group was merely A City’s bigwig. No comparison. 

It was unexpected that these two vastly different people would actually gather in such an entertainment venue

Eleanor was just glad she hadn’t called Bernard that day; she would have been not only embarrassed but rejected
