“I can walk on my own, you don’t need to carry me
She wasn’t seriously injured and definitely didnt need him to carry her around
Eleanor struggled to get down, but Bernard wasn’t having it.
He carried her out of the hospital and straight into his car
“WCity isn’t safe right now. I’ll take you home.”
Bernard buckled her seatbelt and signaled the driver to get out.
The driver who had been dispatched by a subsidiary wasn’t familiar with Mr. Laurence’s ways and was a bit lost.
It took him a few glances at Eleanor to realize that the boss was wooing her, so he hurriedly got out of the car.
Bernard shot the driver a frosty look “You don’t need to come anymore.”
The driver stood dumbfounded. Did he mean not to drive anymore or not to come to the company?
Watching the car drive away, he puzzled over it for a while before it hit him.
“Oh crap, I’m fired!”
Bernard started the car, backed out with one hand, and once he was out of W City, he turned to Eleanor and asked, “Where do you live?”
Eleanor didn’t want him to drop her off, but Bernard had always been a one man show
He did whatever he wanted, and she had no right to refuse
She gripped the seatbelt tightly, and reluctantly told him her hotel address
Bernard glanced at Eleanor through the rearview mirror and didnt like the sullen look on her face
He forced himself not to look at her anymore, gripped the steering wheel and swiftly drove her to the hotel entrance
As Eleanor got out of the car, she turned and said. “Thank you. Mr. Laurence”
Her polite but distant manner caused Bernard to frown slightly, but he didn’t say anything, and just handed her the purse she’d left behind the night before Eleanor took the purse, thanked him again, closed the car door, and hurried into the hotel
As soon as she got off the elevator, she heard Pearce’s panicked voice
“Here’s her ID, take it and find her for me, and find Theo””
Pearce handed the ID over to the police
Allthe valuables in our room have been stolen, everything else doesn’t matter, but my gold paintbrush must be found!”
Pearce had always kept his cool, but after a series of disasters, even he was falling apart
His handsome face was twisted with anger, his eyes wide, he looked somewhat terrifying
“Pearce”
Eleanor quickly approached him, furrowing her brows. “What happened?”
Pearce was shocked to see her safe and sound. “Werent you taken by Theo’s people?*
Hed seen a man carrying Eleanor away from the banquet hall the night before and hadn’t gotten a good look at his face.
Worried for Eleanor’s safety, he chased after them, but the luxury car took off at a high speed
The driver, seeing his urgency, even tried to extort him
Hed been ripped off a large sum of money and the car was slow By the time he’d spent all his cash, the stretch limo was long gonel novelbin
He was furious and guessed that Theo had sent someone to take her away.
He rushed to the space agency and got Theo’s home address, but Theo’s wife told him that Theo hadn’t returned home but had gone to a banquet This made him even more certain that it
was Theo
Unable to find Theo, he had to return to the hotel, intending to report to the police with his ID, only to find that all the valuables in both suites had gonel
He checked the hotel’s surveillance footage and saw a few people climbing through the window and taking everything, even the bank cards were gone Thankfully, their passports were still there, otherwise, they would have had trouble getting back homel
After finishing his story, Pearce looked at Eleanor “How did you get back?”
Being taken away in a foreign country usually meant either being violated or disappearing, it was incredible that she was able to return unharmed
Eleanor simply explained that she’d run into an acquaintance, then pushed past him and hurried into her room.
The theft of the items was trivial, but Emilia’s album, which was not only invaluable but also of great significance, couldn’t be stolen
The cute was a mess, clothes from the suitcase were thrown all over the floor, and the bed was turned upside down
Eleanor quickly walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and sure enough, the album and sketches were gone.
