Chapter 368


    After J sessfully convinced Eleanor, they hopped in the car and went to change their clothes.


    Eleanor was in a ck maxi dress that hugged her figure perfectly.


    Her full chest under her short hair, her slender waist, and her long thighs were all clearly visible.


    She thought the dress was too shy and wanted to change, but J rushed her saying they were


    running out of time.


    So she had to borrow Pearce’s suit jacket and wrap it around her, at least covering her bare back.


    They arrived at the hotel in no time. After Pearce got out of the car, he gentlemanly helped her out.


    As they stepped onto the red carpet, Pearce whispered to Eleanor, “Hold my hand, so nobody will


    bother youter.”


    Eleanor promptly extended her fair hand and linked arms with him, and they walked into the hotel side


    by side.


    The dinner party was packed, but not with the management or core technical staff from the space


    agency, just administrative center folks.


    As soon as they saw the two designers walk in, they rushed over to greet them in a friendly and


    gentlemanly manner,


    Pearce forced a smile, epted a ss of red wine from a waiter, and led Eleanor toward the food


    area.


    In front of rows of food, Eleanor picked up a snack and was about to bite into it when amotion


    arose from outside.


    “Mr. Laurence, you’re here…”


    Upon hearing this name, Eleanor instinctively turned around to look at the man walking into the


    banquet hall.


    Dressed in formal wear, a striking ck tie under his white shirt cor, he looked even more noble and


    elegant than usual. Seeing his cold eyes scanning the banquet hall, Eleanor quickly turned her head


    and told Pearce, “I’m going to the restroom.” She put down the snack in her hand, picked up her dress,


    and headed to the restroom.


    Before she could enter, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into arms in the next second.


    Eleanor leaned against his solid chest and looked up at the handsome man in front of her.


    He had lost some weight on his face over the past few months, but his jawline was even more defined.


    As she locked eyes with his indifferent gaze, Eleanor instinctively wanted to look away, but he was


    looking her up and down.


    Bernard stared at her pretty face, lifted her chin after a few seconds, and aimed at her lips, intending to


    kiss her.


    Eleanor immediately pushed him away and asked, “Mr. Laurence, what do you think you’re doing?”

    Her words made Bernard freeze.


    Right, she was now Garett’s wife. How could he kiss another man’s wife?


    When Bernard realized this, his heart ached sharply, and his face gradually paled.


    He clenched his fists, forcibly suppressing his wild desire for her, then muttered an apology to Eleanor.


    Eleanor gently shook her head, not knowing what to say to him, “I… I need to use the restroom.”


    Feeling awkward, Eleanor tried to make an excuse to avoid Bernard, but he stopped her.


    “Ms. Shultz, it’s been a while. If you don’t mind, can we have a chat as friends?”


    Eleanor looked up at him again. There were no other emotions on his face, it seemed like he just


    wanted to catch up.
