A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1015

The old Cedric would’ve been thrilled at the sight of a stunner like this, but now, he just gave her a quick glance and looked away, “No biggie, have a seat.”

Judith found that he wasn’t as flighty as the rumors suggested. There was a cold indifference in his eyes that left her unsure. “Mr. Laurence, discussing projects and contracts is usually done at more upscale entertainment venues, this fancy restaurant doesn’t seem quite night.”

Cedric pointed to the wheelchair next to him, “Im Injured, can’t exactly roll into a club now, can I? That’d be a laughing stock. Besides, it’s just a contract signing, no need to hit up places like that.”

His words were full of distance that left Judith at a loss. Her company sent her here specifically to use her good looks to charm Cedric and get Jared Group Headquarters to give up some benefits. But the legendary playboy didn’t even spare her a glance, even rejected her insinuation, leaving Judith somewhat clueless.

After staring at Cedric for a while, she slowly sat down, “Mr. Laurence…”

“Got the contract?” Cedric cut her off, wanting to wrap things up quickly. “Hand it over to my lawyer. If he gives it the all–clear, I sign it right away.”

Judith forced a smile, “Are you in some kind of rush?”

Cedric nodded, “Just took over the Crystal Area business, it’s pretty hectic. Can’t afford to waste time here.”
