A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

“Seems like you’re pretty capable, huh?”

Josef wrapped his arms tightly around Eleanor’s waist and planted a hard kiss on her face. “Tell me, babe, what do you want as a reward?”

Eleanor, with her hand covering the kissed cheek, calmly said, “I don’t want any reward. I just want you to get your men out of my friend’s wedding room.”

“Alright.”

Josef immediately pulled out his phone, made a call, and told his men to leave.

It was only after this that Eleanor let out a sigh of relief. She turned around, picked up the drugged glass of wine, and handed it to Josef.

“Mr. Caporal, I brought you this wine. Let’s drink it together”

“Drink?”

Josef frowned slightly, surprised that she would invite him to drink.

Josef, somewhat taken aback, thought Eleanor might have had a change of heart and quickly leaned in to ask, “What, you’ve finally come around? Now you’ll let me touch you?”
