A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1387

“Is it because there are cameras here that you can’t talk freely?” Eleanor asked pointedly, standing up quickly with the intention of finding Yates to turn off the surveillance, only to be pulled back by Bernard.

“Eleanor, the control room is Yates’ personal sanctuary; there’s no surveillance here.”

The entire control room of Area Opaca was the only place without cameras. Yates wouldn’t allow anyone to pry into his privacy.

“The soundproofing is top-notch. Besides, he doesn’t know who I really am. Why would he be interested in listening in?”

Eleanor had guessed that Yates must have learned about Bernard’s true identity from Sophie, which was why his freedom was being restricted. But Bernard reassured her that Yates was clueless and held her hand tightly, offering a gentle and logical explanation.
