A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 

Eleanor replied coldly with just one word, and then the man hung up the phone. 

She couldn’t see the man’s expression, so she could only anxiously pray. 

“Sir, you heard it yourself, no matter why you pretend to be Josef and what you were going to do me, but please pick another time. I need to meet him tonight and give him the contract, or he’ll kill my friend!” 

Compared to Eleanor’s anxious expression, the man seemed calm and composed. 

“What contract?” He asked casually. 

Eleanor naturally wouldn’t say more about Bernard–related matters, “It’s just a project contract.” 

The man casually played with his phone and said slowly. If you don’t explain, let Josef speak.” 

Eleanor had no choice but to tell him everything about Josef’s attempt to violate her and how she escaped the predicament! 

But she didn’t mention the plan to kill Josef but instead explained the contract matter. 

“I had no other way but to trick him into saying I could get a project contract, just to stall him so that my friend’s big day won’t be ruined. But he’s not easy to deal with, so I had to create a fake contract to deceive him.” 

After hearing her story, the man fell silent for a while. 

Seeing him not speaking, Eleanor’s tears came out anxiously, “Sir, what I said is true, please let me go quickly!” 

But the man was unmoved and even asked strangely, “Haven’t you slept with Josef?” 

“Of course not!” 

Eleanor shouted angrily, “With his cruel methods, how could I possibly have anything to do with him!” 

Thinking about how Josef had sent someone to Hailey’s wedding room, she lost her sanity and even neglected her initial disguise. 

Seeing her get angry, the man finally took out a golden knife and cut off the rope on her wrist. 

When the rope was untied, Eleanor quickly pulled off the tie on her eyes. 

The room was still in the dark, and he hadn’t taken off his mask, so Eleanor still couldn’t see the man’s face. 

She didn’t care about the man’s appearance anymore, just wanted him to leave. 

She must get him out of here before she can continue her original plan to deal with Josef. 

“Please leave quickly. Mr. Caporal is not easy to deal with. If he sees you here, he’ll definitely torture you!” 

The man seemed to have heard a joke and sneered, “Do you think I’m afraid of him?” 

As he said this, he put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Eleanor arrogantly. 

The proud and arrogant aura he exuded even had a hint of ferocity. 

Eleanor was taken aback, feeling that he really seemed like Bernard… 

As she was thinking this, the man suddenly sat down on the sofa and played with the golden knife leisurely. 

Seeing him not planning to leave, Eleanor’s chaotic thoughts quickly disappeared. 

As she walked up to him and tried to use force to drive him away, the hotel door was suddenly knocked loudly! Hearing the urgent knock, her weak body instantly stiffened on the spot.

Begging, she stared at the man’s eyes under the mask, “Please, go hide in the bathroom, okay?” 

Her voice trembled as if she would cry the next second if he didn’t agree. 

Seeing her timid appearance, the man got a little impatient but finally stood up and went to the bathroom. 

Seeing him enter the bathroom, Eleanor finally felt relieved. 

She hurriedly turned on the light, took out the fake contract from her bag, and walked towards the door. 

As soon as the door opened, Josef rushed in. 

“How dare you…” 

“Mr.Caporal, the contract!” 

Josef rushed in and raised his hand, wanting to slap Eleanor hard. 

He had been knocking on the door for so long and she didn’t open it, obviously playing with him! 

However, before his hand could fall, a contract was stuffed into his hand. 

Seeing the contract, his raised hand slowly came down. 

Josef carefully looked through the contract, not noticing anything wrong, and finally felt pleased with himself.
