A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 294

After blocking and deleting, Cedric chucked his phone across the room.

Bernard, who had just walked in from outside the mansion, spotted the phone on the floor and furrowed his brows.

“You’re back?” Cedric asked.

Cedric stood up from the couch, noticing Bernard soaked from head to toe, his face filled with worry, “Why are you all wet?”

Bernard didn’t respond, instead he took off his suit jacket and grabbed a towel from a servant.

As he slowly dried his hair, he asked Cedric, “What are you doing in my house?”

Cedric let out a sigh, answering somewhat unenthusiastically, “It’s the weekend, I was bored so I came over for a drink.”

Bernard shot him a cold glance, “If you’re bored, go to Africa and take over Matthew’s work.”

The mention of Africa made Cedric’s heart flutter, “Matthew’s tough as nails and doesn’t mind the sun, but I can’t handle it. My face is my moneymaker, you can’t send me on a suicide mission…”
