Tangled Temptations

Chapter 9

Harvey was somewhat considerate, adjusting her skirt and trying to help her button it.

"I can do it myself." Eloise's voice was shaky. She tried to fasten the button, but it was the size of a grain of rice, and it was too slippery. In the end, Harvey did it for

her.

He apologized again. To make it up to her, he personally called Dominique, talking about Eloise's father's situation.

Dominique was quite impressed with this young man, Harvey. As soon as Harvey spoke, he agreed right away and set up a meeting time with Eloise.

After a few more words, Harvey hung up. He sat down behind his desk, lit a cigarette, and told Eloise, "Besides helping you with the lawsuit, if you have any other demands, just let me know."

Eloise understood this was probably their last meeting. In the past, Harvey could miss her occasionally, but now things were different, he had decided to draw a line between them.

Eloise was a sensible person. She smiled and said, "That's the way things go between men and women, I didn't lose anything! I should thank you, Attorney Horigan, for your help..."

They weren't even friends, so there was no point in being clingy.
