A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Jason saw Eleanor staring blankly at the building in front of her with her head up, so he gently nudged her, “Ms Shultz, follow me” Eleanor snapped out of it, following Jason into one of the somewhat floating buildings.

The security system of the Laurence Group was very strict, and outsiders had to verify their identities to enter, otherwise the door wouldn’t open at all.

As they were verifying their identities, Sophie walked in with a group of executives.

She greeted Jason and then turned her head to look at Eleanor who was following behind him. She said, “Mr Clowers, do you mind if I have a few words with Eleanor?”

“Ms. Shultz is your employee, why would I mind?” Jason didn’t like the tone of Sophie’s voice, seemingly polite but with a hint of uncomfortable sarcasm.

However, since Eleanor was an employee of the Ratliff Group, he couldn’t comment further,

He told Eleanor, “I’ll go ahead and wait for you inside.” After saying that, he led the Clowers Group employees in.

As soon as Jason left, Sophie smiled slightly at Eleanor, “Eleanor, it seems you did a good job hosting Mr. Clowers.”

This remark was followed by a contemptuous look from Sophie.

Sophie added, “You know, not just anyone can come to the Lauren Group’s bidding conference, but Mr. Clowers brought you along. Looks like he thinks highly of you.”

On the word “highly,” she deliberately prolonged the sound, as if hinting that ‘he doesn’t appreciate your work, but rather something else.

Eleanor could hear the sarcasm hidden in her words but felt it was pointless to argue with her, so she remained silent.

The ignorance from Eleanor made Sophie’s expression turn cold, but she quickly smiled amiably, “You did well, I’ll give you a raise when we get back.”

“No need for a raise, just approve my resignation.” Eleanor’s refusal was firm, making Sophie a little embarrassed.

Sophie’s face darkened, raising her chin and looking down at Eleanor, “Getting close to Mr. Clowers is a good thing, but it’s not a reason for pride.”

After saying that, Sophie walked away in her high heels.

Her demeanor was elegant, confident, gentle, and generous. Unfortunately, her outward appearance didn’t match her inner self.

Eleanor’s expression remained unchanged as she turned her gaze and walked straight to a nearby passage.

This bidding conference had almost all the most powerful domestic real estate giants, all trying to win the right to develop the western part of the city.

The most representative ones were the Ratliff Group, the Clowers Group, and some other companies with strength comparable

to them.

Initially, the Caporal Group also wanted to compete, but due to a scandal, the Laurence Group took the opportunity to disqualify

them.

Everyone thought Bernard wouldn’t need to show up for this bidding conference, but after everyone had taken their seats, he appeared.

Bernard was wearing a custom-made black suit and white shirt, which had become his signature outfit.

Just by standing there, he entered everyone’s view, and made the others pale in comparison.

He didn’t care about the audience, casually glancing around with arogance and indifference, then walked in with long strides. under the protection of 20 bodyguards.

As he entered, everyone in the room stood up to welcome him.

Even the presidents of the major groups bowed down to invite him in.

Sophie quickly approached Bernard, her arm around his, and a gentle smile on her face, “Bernard, I thought you wouldn’t come.”

She had invited Bernard in the morning, hoping he could come, but he had refused for fear of causing misunderstandings. She hadn’t expected him to come after all.

Sophie was thrilled since Bernard’s arrival meant that he would surely help her during the subsequent deliberation.

Sophie was immersed in her happiness when Bernard glanced coldly at her arm around his, “Let go.”

Sophie was stunned, her smile frozen on her face.

Upon seeing Bernard’s icy gaze, she released his arm in fright.

Fortunately, the scene was large enough that no one heard him speak. Otherwise, her dignity would be completely lost.

After the awkward incident, Bernard walked straight to the main seat.

The Clowers Group’s seat was right behind the main seat.

As he walked nearer, Eleanor’s heart grew more and more flustered She kept her head down, not daring to take a single glance at this man.

Luckily, he didn’t notice her and went straight to his seat to sit down. He sat in front of her, and she could see his handsome back. head just by lifting her eyes slightly.

The thick dark hair seemed to take root and sprout in her heart, stirring ripples within.

As she was lost in thought, Jason patted her on the shoulder, startling her so much that she almost shouted out.

Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time, not making the inappropriate noise.

In a low voice, she asked him, “Mr. Clowers, what’s up?”

Jason looked at the time on his watch and said quietly, “Ms. Shultz, need a cup of coffee before I speak. Can you make one for me?”
