Pearce hurried upstairs and excitedly rushed to Eleanor, “Ten billion! We’ve got to take the company peeps out to celebrate!”
Eleanor looked up at him, “How do you wanna celebrate?”
Pearce crossed his arms, resting his chin on his hand, pondering, “I heard Hailey’s got the best stuff, even better than Midnight Bar How about hitting her nightclub for a wild party?”
Seeing his eagerness, Eleanor teased, “Mr. Hooper, what about setting an example as a mentor?”
Pearce corrected her seriously, “You’re wrong, I’m not a teacher, I’m not even a human, I’m just a highly evolved animal.”
Eleanor couldn’t help but chuckle, took out her phone, and called Hailey to reserve a luxury room.
The space agency’s payment came through, so Pearce had the funds to treat the company to a wild night.
Eleanor looked up and asked Pearce, “People in the company have seen my sister, right? Will there be any issues?”
Pearce waved his hand dismissively, “Emilia’s been abroad for a long time and rarely comes back. Plus, everyone in the company was hired by me.”
Eleanor relaxed and said, “Alright, let’s celebrate the day after tomorrow night.”
She had stayed up all night working on designs and was a bit tired.
Besides, Hailey’s place had been booked by Cedric for three days, so they had to wait for him to leave before the room was available.
Seeing Pearce had no objections, Eleanor turned around, picked up the design drawings from the table, and handed them to him,
“This is the second project’s design. I only made a rough sketch, so the rest is up to you. Also, please finish surveying my sister’s other projects as soon as possible, so I can complete them.”
Seeing her like this, Pearce was reminded of Emilia and instinctively straightened up, “Got it!”
After greeting the designers and familiarizing herself with the office, Eleanor picked up her bag and left.
As if anticipating her departure, an expensive Koenigsegg pulled up in front of her. novelbin
The man opened the car door and got out of the driver’s seat, gallantly opening the passenger door for her.
“Eleanor, get in,” Bernard said.
Eleanor glanced at him, hesitated for a few seconds, then went straight towards him without further ado.
As she bent down to get in the car, the man’s hand shielded her head.
His careful gesture made Eleanor pause, as Bernard had never done this before.
The man walked around the car, got in, closed the door. He looked at Eleanor, who was quietly sitting.
The small space, filled with a faint fragrance, made the atmosphere between them slightly ambiguous.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Eleanor mustered the courage to ask him why he wasn’t driving, when he leaned towards her.
As his tall, flawless face neared, Eleanor’s heart clenched.
She gripped her hands tightly, staring into his gold–rimmed glasses, unable to describe the affection that penetrated deep into her heart. The man’s powerful fingers reached past her head towards the window, gently unbuckling her seatbelt and then fastening it for her.
Eleanor thought he would leave after fastening the seatbelt, but he came even closer.
His prominent nose brushed against her cheek, then he gently turned. He swept past her hair, and lightly bit her upper earlobe,
“Eleanor…”
His breath, even hotter than in the office earlier, sent shivers down her spine as it entered her ear, like being touched by an electric
current.
“Help me…” He muttered.
Eleanor curled up in the seat, not daring to move. Hearing this, she widened her eyes in surprise.
Bernard seemed not to notice. His lips slowly moved downward, biting her lower earlobe and gently kissing it.
“Eleanor, help me.”
His deep, magnetic voice made her tremble again, and Eleanor’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She subconsciously looked at his abdomen, swallowing nervously,
“I… I can’t…”
Bernard lifted his charming eyes and gently brushed Eleanor’s skin with his long, thick eyelashes,
“You can.”
Just as Eleanor was about to say she couldn’t, she heard the man’s clear and pleasant voice near her ear, “Help me take off my glasses?”
Eleanor was speechless
