Tangled Temptations

Chapter 151

The next day, Eloise clocked off from work early. There was an art banquet tonight, and both she and Callum were invited. They agreed to meet at the hotel.

The receptionist greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Laurent, you look stunning today!"

Eloise was in high spirits. She pressed the elevator button and stepped in, but froze as soon as she entered.

Harvey was in there. He was leaning against the elevator wall, his face a picture of indifference. Clearly, he had been waiting for a while.

Eloise instinctively wanted to step out, but Harvey was quicker.

With a thud... her body was pushed against the elevator wall. Eloise dared not move an inch, as Harvey's arm was blocking her chest. Any slight movement would seem like she was putting herself on display for him. She could only glare at him and ask, "What's going on, Attorney Horigan?"

Harvey looked at her with a deep gaze. "Are you dressed like this for the banquet? With Callum?"

Eloise tried to suppress her anger, "Attorney Horigan, we broke up. Who I go to the banquet with, or who I date with is my business."

Harvey released Eloise and took a step back. "Do you like him? Are you happier with him than you were with me? Eloise, I don't believe you've forgotten me!"

Eloise's eyes turned red. She and Harvey had indeed had a sweet life together, during which she was immersed in his mature charm. Fame and desire brought her immense excitement. Eloise thought, no girl could resist such gentle advances, so falling for Harvey was all too easy.

He was always so clingy, just wanting to possess her. When she asked him if he loved her, he said, "Eloise, I'm sorry, I can't give you what you want!"

Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't give it. He just didn't want to!

Eloise said awkwardly, "Harvey, you were the one who dumped me. What's the point of saying all this now?"
