A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 12

Eleanor thought Josef and Bernard had a good relationship, but it turned out Cedric introduced them.

It seemed like this party Josef organized wasn’t just for her to meet a few friends – he also wanted to get a project through Bernard.

With that thought in mind, Eleanor’s tense body relaxed a little.

Just as she took a breath, Josef suddenly signaled to her to drink up.

Unable to feign ignorance any longer, Eleanor grabbed her glass and gulped down its contents.

The sudden consumption of a strong liquor caused her eyes to well up with tears.

Observing this, Josef swiftly embraced her and helped by patting her back.
