A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 368

Chapter 368

After Janet successfully convinced Eleanor, they hopped in the car and went to change their clothes. 

Eleanor was in a black maxi dress that hugged her figure perfectly. 

Her full chest under her short hair, her slender waist, and her long thighs were all clearly visible. 

She thought the dress was too flashy and wanted to change, but Janet rushed her saying they were running out of time. 

So she had to borrow Pearce’s suit jacket and wrap it around her, at least covering her bare back. 

They arrived at the hotel in no time. After Pearce got out of the car, he gentlemanly helped her out. 

As they stepped onto the red carpet, Pearce whispered to Eleanor, “Hold my hand, so nobody will bother you later.” 

Eleanor promptly extended her fair hand and linked arms with him, and they walked into the hotel side by side. 

The dinner party was packed, but not with the management or core technical staff from the space agency, just administrative center folks. 

As soon as they saw the two designers walk in, they rushed over to greet them in a friendly and gentlemanly manner, 

Pearce forced a smile, accepted a glass of red wine from a waiter, and led Eleanor toward the food area. 

In front of rows of food, Eleanor picked up a snack and was about to bite into it when a commotion arose from outside. 

“Mr. Laurence, you’re here…” 

Upon hearing this name, Eleanor instinctively turned around to look at the man walking into the banquet hall. 

Dressed in formal wear, a striking black tie under his white shirt collar, he looked even more noble and elegant than usual. Seeing his cold eyes scanning the banquet hall, Eleanor quickly turned her head and told Pearce, “I’m going to the restroom.” She put down the snack in her hand, picked up her dress, and headed to the restroom. 

Before she could enter, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into arms in the next second. 

Eleanor leaned against his solid chest and looked up at the handsome man in front of her. 

He had lost some weight on his face over the past few months, but his jawline was even more defined. 

As she locked eyes with his indifferent gaze, Eleanor instinctively wanted to look away, but he was looking her up and down. 

Bernard stared at her pretty face, lifted her chin after a few seconds, and aimed at her lips, intending to kiss her. 

Eleanor immediately pushed him away and asked, “Mr. Laurence, what do you think you’re doing?” 

Her words made Bernard freeze. 

Right, she was now Garett’s wife. How could he kiss another man’s wife? 

When Bernard realized this, his heart ached sharply, and his face gradually paled. 

He clenched his fists, forcibly suppressing his wild desire for her, then muttered an apology to Eleanor. 

Eleanor gently shook her head, not knowing what to say to him, “I… I need to use the restroom.” 

Feeling awkward, Eleanor tried to make an excuse to avoid Bernard, but he stopped her. 

“Ms. Shultz, it’s been a while. If you don’t mind, can we have a chat as friends?” 

Eleanor looked up at him again. There were no other emotions on his face, it seemed like he just wanted to catch up.
