Chapter 1231

Hearing footsteps, Pearce, lounging on the couch, instantly straightened up, saying to Eleanor, “I’m feeling a bit woozy, gonna head back home.”

Now that there was someone to help, Eleanor naturally wanted him to stay, “Didn’t you say if I can’t finish all the design sketches today, you’re crashing at my place?”

Pearce waved his hand as he got up, saying, “Oh, come on, I’ve got my own place, why would I stay at yours? I’ll come back tomorrow. Bye for now…”

But as soon as he got up, a slender, fair hand came out of nowhere and rested on his shoulder, pressing him back down.

“Pearce, who are you thinking of punishing?”

Pearce glanced at the expressionless Bernard, quickly pulling up his stiff mouth corners to flash a perfectly symmetrical grin.

“Why, myself, of course!”

A playful glint appeared in Bernard’s frosty gaze.

“I heard you wanted to punish me.”

“Hehe.” Pearce chuckled awkwardly.

“I was just talking nonsense, didn’t mean it.”

Who would dare harm Bernard? Wasn’t it a death wish?

Like Cedric, Pearce knew when to push and when to yield. He automatically took out a wet wipe and handed it to Bernard.

“You touched me, your hand is dirty, Mr. Laurence, clean it.”

For Eleanor, this was the first time seeing such a sensible Pearce being so considerate. She couldn’t help but prop up her chin with a hand, watching his performance.
