Tangled Temptations

Chapter 138

Chapter 129

Landon's sweet talk would make any girl's heart skip a beat.

Eloise felt all mixed up inside. She didn't know when or how she ended the call. All she remembered was Landon's last words, "Chasing a girl takes some effort and time, but what's the big deal. Eloise, I've been waiting for you for a good while, and I don't mind waiting some more."

Eloise stopped the car. She gently ran her fingers over the steering wheel. She didn't know how to turn down Landon, who was quite the catch and had no reason to wait for her.

She had a four-year relationship with Max, and now her relationship with Harvey was a bit in the grey area. She wouldn't be his ideal partner.

Eloise let out a soft sigh, opened the car door, and got out.

Ahead of her was Velona Corporation, a place she never wanted to set foot in again.

She definitely didn't want to see Max. She handed the check to the receptionist, saying, "Please give this to your president."

The receptionist had worked at Velona Corporation for six years. She knew Eloise and was aware that she was Max's ex-girlfriend.

Everyone thought Max dumped Eloise, but rumor had it at Velona Corporation that Max had second thoughts after getting engaged and tried to win back Eloise, but she turned him down.

Max had been a mess lately.

The receptionist was very polite to Eloise, "Ms. Laurent, rest assured, I'll pass it on to Mr. Velona." As soon as she finished speaking, she looked past Eloise. "Greetings, Mr. Velona."

Eloise turned slowly. Max was standing right behind her; she had no idea how long he had been there.

Eloise said calmly, "Max, thanks for the gesture, I appreciate it."
