Tangled Temptations

Chapter 157

In less than two hours, a team of four experts had arrived in Peterborough.

Harvey personally went to the airport to pick them up.

Once the experts arrived at the hospital, they didn't even have time for a sip of water before they started the consultation.

Harvey stayed with them throughout.

An hour later, the surgical plan was set in stone.

Michelle was extremely grateful. She tightly held Denise's hand and said, "I can't thank you enough for this."

Denise smiled and whispered, "You should thank Attorney Horigan. He pulled some serious strings to get these experts. Ordinary folks wouldn't stand a chance."

Michelle nodded in agreement.

Denise wanted to say more but felt it was inappropriate to meddle in her boss' personal life.

Angus' surgery was going to take a while, so Denise left.

But Harvey didn't.

He sat on a bench in the hospital corridor, dealing with work on his phone.

Eloise went over and sat down next to him.

Harvey paused, glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Eloise handed him a box of washed grapes, saying, "They're good for your health."

Maybe Harvey was still mad - he ignored her and didn't take the grapes.

Eloise felt awkward and said, "Harvey, thank you."

Harvey put his phone away and looked at her, "Ms. Laurent, how do you plan on thanking me?"

Eloise knew what he wanted!

He wanted her back, to start over, to play the game of love with him again.

As for where the game ends, it's his call.

But the big favor she owed him was weighing heavy on Eloise. Even though she knew his intentions, she felt it wasn't right not to give something in return.

And she was single, and they've had their fair share of intimate moments.

In the quiet hospital hallway, Eloise softly said, "Harvey, I really appreciate everything you've done for me! But I can't repay you with my emotions."

Harvey responded coldly, "Ms. Laurent, so how do you plan to repay me? With your body?"

Eloise immediately looked up at him.

Her eyes were glistening, even more so than usual.

Harvey looked at her coldly, no intention to back down.

He didn't do all of this expecting something in return. Even if he wasn't trying to
