A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 17

When Josef heard Eleanor say she could help him get the project, he immediately became interested.

The bidding would start next month, and Josef’s father said that as long as he could get this project, he would give him the heir position.

However, this time the competitor was the Clowers Group from B City, a top company within the country. It would be quite difficult to defeat the Clowers Group professionally. That’s why he wanted to win over Bernard to get the project.

But Bernard was too hard to please.

If he hadn’t begged Cedric for an introduction this time, he wouldn’t even be able to meet the guy.

So, trying to win over Bernard to get the project was almost impossible.

If Eleanor could help him get the project, that would be the best, but…

He asked Eleanor doubtfully, “Since you have Bernard’s secrets, why didn’t you threaten him to achieve your goal?”

Eleanor quickly replied, “I did. I threatened to be his girlfriend, but he disagreed.”

Josef squinted at her, “If he doesn’t agree to your request, threatening him again won’t work, right?”

Eleanor swore, “If he doesn’t agree this time, I’ll send the video to Ms. Ratliff.”

Eleanor responded honestly. “I’ve already told you that I cannot be with someone I don’t love. If I have genuine feelings for someone, I will naturally take action, just like with Mr. Laurence. However, you’re too hasty, and
