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.

But that was fine; discussing a project would take time, which would give her a chance to figure a way out.

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.

She seldom drank, as Bernard disliked the smell of alcohol, so she had managed to abstain completely.

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.
