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.

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