Tangled Temptations

Harvey didn't respond.

Ravenna, not wanting to miss such an opportunity to show off, casually said to the principals, "I knew the manager of this restaurant. They agreed to give me a discount."

The principals praised her for being so capable.

Ravenna glanced at Harvey and continued, "This hotel doesn't give discounts to customers unless you have some serious connections."

Amid the surprised looks, Ravenna felt sure Harvey's attitude towards her would change.

She couldn't help but feel smug.

What did Eloise have besides her looks that could compare to her?

Just then, a male voice echoed from the entrance, "Harvey, so you're here!"

It was Mr. Hughes, the hotel's general manager.

Mr. Hughes warmly shook Harvey's hand, his tone full of familiarity, "I heard from my staff that you were here for dinner, and I couldn't believe such an important person would come to my little place. I came over to see, and it's really you!"

Harvey gave a slight smile, "Mr. Hughes, you're too kind!"

"Harvey, calling me Mr. Hughes made us sound distant! We've known each other for years."

Mr. Hughes' gaze shifted to Eloise.

Harvey introduced her, "This is my girlfriend, Eloise. She's here with me for the reunion."

Mr. Hughes bowed to Eloise and shook her hand.

As a businessman, he was naturally very tactful, "Ms. Laurent, not only are you beautiful, but you also have an exceptional demeanour."

Eloise acted very naturally.

Mr. Hughes owed Harvey a favour as Harvey had once helped him win a big case, saving his property and life. This was the perfect opportunity for him to return the favor. He used Eloise as an excuse, "This is my first time meeting Ms. Laurent. I didn't prepare any gifts. So, all the food and drinks today will be on the house."

A meal at such an expensive restaurant for free?

Eloise felt uneasy, afraid that Harvey would owe someone a favour.

But Harvey didn't hesitate to accept. He put his arm around Eloise's shoulder and laughed, "Thanks for your hospitality. I'll treat you to a meal another time."

Mr. Hughes knew Harvey was leaving. As an experienced man, he understood.

It was just a matter of affairs between men and women.

He personally escorted Harvey to the elevator and didn't leave until he reached the lobby.

Back in the banquet hall.

The room was silent, especially Ravenna. She felt extremely embarrassed. She tried so hard to impress Harvey, only to find out that Eloise easily got what she wanted. She felt like a clown.

Ravenna picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a glass.

She forced a smile, "Such an expensive bottle of wine. Thanks to Eloise, we can enjoy it for free."

As she spoke, she started crying and looked at Max.noveldrama

Max turned and walked away.

Ravenna, drunk, yelled after him, "Max, you bastard. I love you, and I love you more than Eloise does!"

Max turned back and sneered, "Your love is too cheap!"

Ravenna started crying hysterically.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward. No one attending the reunion expected this outcome.

Eloise followed Harvey to the underground parking lot.

She sat in the driver's seat, took off her high heels, and softly said, "I should have worn flats if I knew."

Eloise had beautiful legs and attractive feet.

Harvey leaned back, watching her, and Eloise became shy under his gaze.

He whispered, "How are you going to drive barefoot? How about we go upstairs and get a room?"

Eloise, who hadn't had any intimate contact with men, always kept some distance. Therefore, she gently looked at his handsome face and said, "Let's call a driver!"

Harvey didn't respond, and his dark eyes were deep and intense.

After a moment, he supported her body with one hand and embraced her.

Eloise gently said, "We're in the parking lot."

"Last time we kissed in the parking lot, too, and you held me tight." His high nose

was against hers, his breath warm, mixing with hers.

Seeing him so passionate, Eloise couldn't help but relax.

A man who's been drinking really was different, uninhibited!

His skills were good, and Eloise's body quickly softened in his arms. Her hands

held his handsome face; they kissed passionately, and the temperature in the car continued to rise.
