Tangled Temptations

Chapter 171

On the other end of the phone, Harvey was in a meeting.

His voice was soft, "I'm in a meeting, and I'll be back before nine. Oh, Denise is coming over to pick up a file later, it's on my study desk. Could you hand it to her for me?"

"Sure," Eloise replied.

She didn't hang up the phone right away, she was reluctant to.

Harvey was in the conference room and couldn't talk much, he gently said, "I'm hanging up."

After hanging up, Eloise was contemplating how to keep her house's condition a secret when Denise came over.

After waiting for 20 minutes, Denise didn't show up, but called instead.

Denise sounded anxious, "Eloise, my kid is having a fever, so I need to rush

home, could you deliver the file for me? It's the one on Attorney Horigan's desk."

Eloise and Denise were close and agreed immediately.

Denise was grateful for it.

Eloise went to the study to get the file, then drove to the law firm.

She thought, after Harvey finished his meeting, they could go home together.

He would definitely be surprised by her preparations.

A smile appeared on Eloise's lips.

At night, her white BMW was weaving through the traffic. About half an hour later, she arrived at Prestige Legal Advisors.

Eloise went up the building.

To her surprise, most of the lights in the law firm were already off.

No one was in Harvey's office, but his another secretary was still there. Seeing Eloise, the secretary said in a puzzled manner, "Attorney Horigan left in a hurry about half an hour ago after receiving a call."

Eloise's face changed slightly.

His secretary initially thought Attorney Horigan went to celebrate Valentine's Day, but seeing Eloise's face, it didn't seem to be the case.

She cautiously observed Eloise's reaction.

Eloise understood his secretary's feelings, she forced a smile, "It's okay."

She went downstairs and sat in her car.

The wisest choice at this moment was to go back to the apartment and wait for Harvey, then spend a quiet Valentine's Day together, followed by a flight to France.
