Tangled Temptations

Chapter 292

Chapter 281

Eloise should have been happy, but she wasn't. She'd checked and found that Prestige Legal Advisors' financial support to Monika hadn't stopped. Her fingers traced the glass as she murmured softly, "Such a jerk! How should I deal with you?"

There was a knock on the office door. "Ms. Laurent!"

"Come in!"

The man who entered was Gerald, the Vice President of Everest Technologies, holding an important document. "This requires your signature, Ms. Laurent."

Eloise took it, read it twice, and signed.

Gerald didn't leave immediately, instead, he smiled. "Ms. Laurent, if it's not for the business dinner tonight, you really should relax. There's a play tonight featuring your favorite actor!"

A small twitch appeared on Eloise's brow. She wasn't fooled by Gerald's

intentions. After all, she was a mature woman. However, he never crossed the line, leaving Eloise with no reason to refuse.

She feigned ignorance and replied lightly, "Is it that young actor? She's particularly good at opera. Harvey also asked me out earlier, but unfortunately..."

Gerald gave a slight smile and left.

At 4:30 in the afternoon.

Harvey's car arrived punctually at the front of Everest Technologies. As he exited the vehicle, the passing employees respectfully greeted him. "Mr. Horigan!" Harvey nodded in acknowledgment but didn't say much. He found his way to the second-floor gym.

Snow was gently falling outside in Peterborough, but Eloise was drenched in sweat from her yoga practice, tiny droplets even formed at the tip of her nose.

Hearing footsteps, Eloise turned her face and quietly watched him. He was dressed in a black turtleneck and casual pants, covered by a gray coat.

Under the light, his handsome features appeared even more defined. He had an aura of luxury surrounding him. Compared to him, Eloise was dressed lightly, and her damp hair was adding to her allure.

She gave a soft smile. "Have a seat.'

As she continued her practice, Harvey was slightly dissatisfied, and casually

asked, "Where are your bodyguards and assistants?"

"They're in the office, no need for them to follow me here."

Eloise completed another set of exercises, leaned against the bar, and smiled. "How was it last night?"

Harvey's gaze darkened. His presence didn't seem to faze her, which was slightly aggravating. But it wasn't unattractive. Quite the contrary, it was enticing.

Eloise understood men too well.

Harvey wasn't a man in a hurry either. He suspected Eloise knew about Monika leaving the firm, but she kept her cool.
