A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 14

When Cedric took off his suit jacket, he still had his white shirt on. But if she took off her dress, she’d be completely naked.

She looked around at the room of people, and it seemed like everyone was waiting for her to strip. No one was helping her out of this

Even Josef was staring at her expectantly, wanting her to take off her clothes.

She felt like an animal in a zoo, being gawked at by a bunch of ridiculously rich kids.

If she complied, they might let her go. If she resisted, they wouldn’t let her leave the room easily.

Once Eleanor realized this, she relaxed her clenched fists.

She went to unzip the back of her dress, but Cedric suddenly spoke up.

“I screwed up. It’s my fault Ms. Shultz is in this situation. Let me take off my clothes instead.”

Without hesitation, Cedric took off his white shirt, revealing his strong and muscular torso.
