A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 88

Originally, the vice president was scheduled to give the presentation, but Bernard suddenly showed up, so Jason had to speak personally.

Bernard was very strict. During the presentation, even if one word was spoken incorrectly, it could potentially disqualify them from the bidding.

Jason couldn't afford any mistakes, so he took over the vice president's task at the last minute.

The vice president breathed a sigh of relief, while Jason had to organize all his thoughts within an hour.

To concentrate, he needed a strong coffee to wake him up, and only Eleanor could help with that.

Eleanor nodded and whispered, "Do we have enough time?"

Jason winked at her, "The Clowers Group is the 10th to present. We got time."

Knowing about the schedule, Eleanor didn't ask any further. She carefully got up, and walked toward the backdoor of the conference room.

She wasn't familiar with The Laurence Group's park. When she came out, she was surrounded by high-tech products and not a single person in sight.

She searched the building several times but couldn't find a coffee room. With no other option, she left the building, but every place required a card for entrance.

She didn't have one, so her only choice was to go back to the conference room and look for The Laurence Group employees to help her.

As she was about to turn around, she saw Cedric walking in from outside the door.

Eleanor noticed him scanning his face at the door, and it opened.

For a moment, she almost sneaked out when the door opened, but luckily didn't lose her senses.

Cedric saw her loitering at the entrance and didn't plan to acknowledge her. He just passed by.

"Mr. Laurence, wait a moment..." Eleanor gathered her courage and stopped Cedric.

Cedric didn't expect her to dare stop him, his face turned unpleasant, "Ms. Shultz, what do you want?"

He didn't find it strange that Eleanor was here, but he found it surprising she stopped him, not knowing what she wanted to do.

Eleanor ignored Cedric, walked into the coffee room, chose a high concentration coffee bean, and put it in the coffee grinder.

Cedric wasn't in a hurry to leave now, standing at the door, measuring her figure up and down, “You indeed look pretty. No wonder Jason likes you. However, compared to my sister, you still lack some temperament."

Eleanor had seen Sigrid's photos online. True, she inherited The Laurence Group's excellent genes, but she wasn't competing with them.

However, this shouldn't be said by her. What was the use of looking good? In the end, everyone would end up six foot under.

Her silence bored Cedric, "Why don't you speak?"

Eleanor looked up at him, "Mr. Laurence, thank you for showing me where the coffee room is."

Cedric was puzzled, "That's it?"

He thought that after he mocked her, she would be too ashamed to stay here, but she didn't put his provocation into consideration.

"Mr. Laurence, what do you want?" Eleanor put down the freshly brewed coffee, and carefully stared at Cedric.
