A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 6

Eleanor endured that heart–wrenching feeling as she forced herself to walk back to her seat.

She decided to quit her job sooner rather than later. She didn’t want to see that lovey–dovey couple every day for the rest of her life. She was afraid she couldn’t take it, afraid she couldn’t help but confront Bernard and ask him why he was being so cruel to her!

After finishing her resignation letter, she went to see Rosita, the head of the CEO’s office, for approval.

Rosita didn’t think much of her and only tried half–heartedly to persuade her to stay before giving her approval.

The resignation process would take a month, so Eleanor couldn’t leave right away. She had no choice but to take a two–week vacation instead.

She had worked at VitaLife Global for five years and had earned 15 days of paid vacation, so using them before quitting was normal. Seeing how desperate she was, Rosita couldn’t help but give her a dirty look. “Fine, you can take the time off, but as soon as you’re back, you’ll have to wrap up your work.”

Eleanor just said “sure” and picked up her bag, leaving VitaLife Global for good.

As soon as she stepped out of the building, she ran into Josef Caporal, the CEO of the Caporal Group.

He was notorious in A City for being an absolute scumbag, treating women horribly.

Eleanor was terrified when she saw him smiling and approaching her, so she turned around and tried to run back inside.

But Josef quickly caught up to her, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms. “Where do you think you’re going?”

Then he deliberately lowered his head and blew gently into her ear.

The warm breath made Eleanor’s skin crawl with goosebumps.

She tried to push Josef away, but he held onto her waist tightly, not letting her get anywhere.
