After expressing her thoughts, Gianna added, “But she barely paused before trying to get into the
restaurant to find you. She probably wanted to clear things up in person, but the security stopped her.
I booked the whole place to avoid eavesdroppers and told the security to only let people in with an
invitation card, you know, the secret sign of our organization…”
The footage quickly switched to the scene where Teresa stopped Eleanor from knocking on the glass.
Seeing this, Gianna turned around and slapped Teresa.
“You knew that restaurant had LOW–E glass installed, and you didn’t even tell Ms. Shultz. Worse, you
stopped her. You’re absolutely despicable!”
Teresa was too stunned to fight back, and pain throbbed in her fingers, wrist, and cheek. She crumbled

After landing her slap, Gianna shifted her gaze back to Bernard.
“I owe you an apology. When we left the restaurant, I had everyone put on earpieces to keep in touch:
So, when Ms. Shultz was shouting your name, nobody noticed because of the heavy rain and our
communication with the headquarters. We didn’t hear her.”
Bernard had been intently watching the footage, not making a peep. Seeing Eleanor running after him
and falling into dirty water because she couldn’t catch up. His eyes turned moist.
So, she not only went to the restaurant but also tried desperately to catch up with him, and he hadn’t
noticed at all.
His fingers, gripping the tablet, were trembling. He traced the figure of the desolate woman on the
screen.
He stared hard at her, watching her struggle to get up after a while, staggering toward the hotel despite
the pain.
Even when she was seriously injured, she didn’t give up on finding him.
But how could Eleanor ever get into that hotel, a place frequented by the Royal Family of Arvandor?
When he saw her being turned away by the guards, revealing a pale smile, Bernard felt his heart stop.
He thought she would leave after that, but she sat down on a bench not far from the hotel after
descending the steps.
She sat there in the pouring rain like a lost puppy, with her desolate gaze fixed on the hotel’s entrance.
She was waiting for him to come out, but he never did. He left from the back door on a mission.
She didn’t know any of this, all she saw was him entering the hotel with another woman while she didn’t
even have the right to step foot in there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn’t know how desperate Eleanor felt when she was drenched in the rain and sat on the bench.
All he knew was that he was a jerk who kept hurting her instead of providing her with a sense of
security.
His heart was aching so much that he could barely breathe, especially seeing Eleanor hugging her
knees and crying in despair after not being able to wait for him. His heart ached even more and he
couldn’t hold back his tears anymore.
Eleanor gave up on him after experiencing utter disappointment, and it was only then that he noticed
what he had lost. Wait a second! What a coincidence! She found what she had lost just when she was
feeling heartbroken over him.
