A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 51

Although she's a bit puzzled, she quickly picked up the phone.

"Eleanor, come to my office."

The President's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

He hung up right after speaking, not giving Eleanor the chance to refuse.

She didn't want to go since Bernard was there, but the President must be looking for her because there's something important to be discussed.

Since she came to VitaLife Global, the President had always been kind to her, so she endured it and went to his office.

As she expected, Bernard was sitting in the office, talking to President Cameron.

They were discussing project cooperation, involving the bidding meeting for the West City block.

After the Caporal Group's incident, the Laurence Group had for some reason postponed the bidding meeting for a few days.

As a result, the bidding meeting hadn't been held yet, and the Caporal Group hadn't suspected the fake contract.

Furthermore, Josef suffered an injury and remained unconscious. It's likely that he hadn't had the opportunity to hand over the counterfeit contract to the Caporal Group.

This situation concerned Eleanor a little, as she feared Josef might seek revenge once he woke up and discovered the contract was a fake.

However, that's a matter to address later.

When Josef eventually regained consciousness, he would have to deal with various problems involving the Caporal Group.

These issues included reviving the company, securing Mr. Caporal’s release from jail, and raising funds to compensate the partners affected by the contract’s default.

Eleanor believed that by the time Josef resolved all these matters, she would have already died, making it impossible for him to exact revenge on anyone.

As she contemplated the situation, she prepared to knock on the door but overheard a conversation about the Clowers Group in B City.

The mention of the Clowers Group sent a chill down Eleanor's spine, and she vividly recalled the image of the young man associated with it.

She tried her best to control her emotions, knocked on the open door, and respectfully asked, "President, you were looking for me?"

The man, nearing fifty, emitted an air of authority that commanded respect.

However, Eleanor harbored no fear towards Cameron. While others avoided direct eye contact with him, she dared to lock eyes with him unflinchingly.

Cameron felt like family to her, so she wasn't afraid.

As the assistant looked back at him without any regard, Cameron's authoritative expression gradually darkened.

He felt Eleanor looked a bit like Sophie, so he usually treated her more gently than others.

Was it because she thought he treated her differently that she dared to be so reckless?

She dared to defy him in front of Bernard! Was she embarrassing him, the President?

Cameron was extremely dissatisfied with Eleanor, but he must maintain the President's demeanor and not stoop to Eleanor's level.

While both of them were staring at each other, both refusing to back down, Sophie suddenly said, "Eleanor, I've seen your resignation application. I haven't had time to approve it yet, so why don't you finish what the President asked you to do first, then go talk to Rosita about the work handover?"
