Tangled Temptations

She was itching to take a look.

Eloise's long hair fell loose as she dashed outside barefoot.

Marianna said with a smile, "Put your shoes on quick, or Attorney will have a fit."

But Eloise didn't have time to bother with her, the piano entranced her in front of the French windows.

Harvey naturally gave her something quite fancy, a piano worth 2 million bucks with a royal history.

It was said that Louis II played it once.

It had a charming name, Astral.

Eloise was all over it.

There was a red rose on the piano cover, and it suddenly reminded her of Harvey holding her tight last night, whispering "My Beloved" in her ear.

She blushed, feeling entirely moved by Harvey's gesture!

Marianna was also delighted seeing her like that, saying eagerly, "Ms. Laurent, play it a bit. Let me hear."

Eloise softly agreed. She sat down, opened the piano cover, her slender fingers landed on the black and white keys, and began to play.

She played a piece.

Marianna wasn't an art fan, but she thought Ms. Laurent played beautifully, especially seeing Ms. Laurent in her vintage lace nightgown with her waist-length hair loose.

Sitting there, she looked like a piece of art, absolutely stunning!noveldrama

Attorney sure was lucky!

Eloise finished a piece. She gently caressed the warm keys, reluctant to leave.

The bedroom phone rang, it was Harvey calling, Marianna tactfully exited the

room.

Eloise picked up the phone.

"Got the gift?" Harvey asked jokingly.

For some reason, just hearing his voice made Eloise blush. She bit her lip and said, "It's too much."

"As long as you like it. Do you like it, Eloise?"

Eloise honestly answered, "I do, I really do.. Harvey, thank you."

There was silence on the other end for a long time. Just when Eloise started to get anxious, Harvey's voice came, a little hoarse, "I'll wait for you tonight."

Eloise was no longer a naive little girl, and she knew what he meant. And she felt the same way.

Eloise had just experienced all this, but she wasn't ready to talk about it with him, plus Marianna was still around.

She looked up at the French windows, softly saying, "Harvey, I want to change the decor."

She knew she was acting coy, but men should spoil girls her age, and she could feel how much Harvey was willing to indulge her.

Sure enough, Harvey agreed.

Eloise was thrilled, and she really wanted to be with him at this moment, if she were, she would definitely kiss him.

Clearly, Harvey was thinking the same, his voice husky when he spoke again, "Got a meeting soon. We'll talk more tonight."

Eloise nodded obediently.

She hung up the phone and couldn't resist touching the piano again. Eloise was immersed in this huge joy in her life, but she never thought how was she going to take this piano with her when the day came for her to leave?

Her feelings were pure, and she forgot that this extreme pampering was a way for men of status to treat women, praising her to the skies when in love and leaving cleanly when bored.

The only one left spoiled was her.

Marianna had prepared breakfast.

She said excitedly: "Ms. Laurent, breakfast is ready. The piano man was saying, who played this piano again? I forgot."

Eloise laughed. She touched the shiny black lacquered piano, softly saying, "Louis II played this piano."

Marianna laughed: "My memory is terrible."

Eloise went back to her bedroom to wash up and change clothes for breakfast, Marianna handed her a business card: "Oh, Ms. Vanessa dropped by early this morning with her card. She said she wanted to invite you for dinner."
