Tangled Temptations

Chapter 191

When Harvey said so, Denise had nothing to refute. She always felt that Harvey did this on purpose.

After Denise left, Harvey pulled out his phone and opened his photo album. There was a photo of Eloise sitting

and playing the piano, looking tranquil and beautiful. He looked at it for a while before suddenly remembering

that they used to be so close, yet they didn't even have a single photo together.

Harvey lightly brushed over the photo with his fingers. These days, Eloise had been ignoring him. He knew she

was still mad at him.

Mad at him for what he said that night, mad at him for not being there when she needed him, mad at him for his

ruthlessness towards the Bowen family.

But she didn't know, even if she disagreed, he wouldn't really hurt Dominique. Her easy compromise was just a

manifestation of her distrust of him.

Harvey gave a bitter smile. He himself couldn't figure it out.

After work, he drove to Encore Soundworks.

Eloise had just finished work, too, sitting in her newly bought champagne-colored BMW. Since she couldn't drive,

a driver sat in the front seat.

Through the car window, Harvey couldn't see the driver's face clearly. He felt that

it was a good-looking young man, and quite tall.

Harvey felt a bit uneasy. But he could only digest this unease himself. He indirectly caused Eloise's inability to

drive. With the situation with Landon, he dared not casually ask about her private matters.

At this moment, the BMW slowly passed by. The rear window was open, he could see Eloise's face, and he could

even hear her speaking softly to the person in front,

Harvey didn't move.

After a while, he sent a message to Eloise. [Does your driver need to be so young?]

Eloise didn't reply for quite stime. He couldn't help but ask again, and this time, Eloise blocked him.

Dwight was driving. Actually, he had seen the serious-looking Harvey, and just seeing him like that was satisfying

enough. He intentionally asked, "Was that man in the golden Bentley your ex-boyfriend?"

"We've broken up." Eloise asked again, "How do you know?"

Dwight licked his lips, excitedly saying, "I've had a conflict with him before."

Normally, Eloise would get angry because he talked too much, but this tshe said nothing, so Dwight

guessed, "Looks like you still like him. Don't be fooled by his good looks. These lawyers do lots of unethical

things. He'll be bald by 35."

Eloise ignored him.

Dwight touched his good-looking chin, mumbling to himself, "Compared to him, my charm is irresistible."

The next day, Eloise began to make full use of his charm.

Encore Soundworks was very high-end; there was a cafe for parents to rest that served coffee and snacks every

day. But the business had always been bad.

Eloise arranged for Dwight to go there. "When | don't need the car, you can rest there."

Dwight only sat for half a day before he ran back. He wasn't stupid. As soon as he sat there, business increased

tically, and the cafe was almost full.

"I'm not a commodity!"

Eloise was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, saying, "Don't you like to be admired by women? Now it

can satisfy your vanity and increase the incof Encore Soundworks, so why not?"

Dwight snatched the newspaper from her hand. "I want a raise!" he said, "Also, | want to buy new clothes. | want

to go to the wedding, and you have to buya suit."

He thought Eloise would refuse, but she agreed. Eloise nodded. "Okay, I'll give you one-fifth of the turnover as a

commission! First, buy clothes, then deduct from the commission."

Dwight complained a bit, "You're so stingy. Are you running Encore Soundworks or sshady business?"

Eloise continued reading the newspaper. "If you don't want to do it, then forget it."

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Dwight mumbled, "The clothes have to be expensive. | won't wear cheap ones!"

Eloise felt that it was worth investing in him. She took him to the mall and bought a deep coffee-colored suit,

reasonably priced.

Dwight was not satisfied. "Can such cheap clothes be worn?"

Actually, after he put it on, it looked pretty good, especially those long legs...

Eloise didn't cater to him. She just swiped the card and said coldly, "Your monthly salary is only 800 dollars!"

Dwight did the math, 800 dollars wasn't even enough to take a girl out, so he still had to rely on Eloise. He

sweet-talked her, "Ms. Laurent, you look so good when you swipe your card!"

Eloise handed him the receipt. "Just try your best to beca feature here!"

Dwight didn't care. He followed behind Eloise, flattering her, "What can | do, | just want to serve you."

The salesperson blushed.

Eloise turned around with a smile. "You get your new clothes. Serve Encore Soundworks well."

Her words had a hidden meaning, and Dwight jumped up. "Hey, | said I'm not selling my body."

On the day of Callum's wedding, Eloise looked at the invitation and was a bit lost.

Tflew by, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. Callum was getting married, Riley and Veronica

seemed to get along very well, and everyone around her had found their partners.

Dwight changed into his new suit and cin to see Eloise in a daze. He leaned against the desk, took the

invitation from her hand, and said loudly, "Still thinking about your ex?"

Eloise was expressionless. "Remember your place!"

"I know. I'm a driver!" Dwight stared at her. "Hey, are you scared to meet that serious Mr. Horigan tonight? Is

that's why you're takingto boost your courage... | knew it, that's why you're willing to spend money on me!"

He was a bit dissatisfied towards the end.

Eloise folded up the invitation, saying seriously, "You know, you don't have to go if you don't want to. Just wait

forin the car."

Would Dwight agree? No way. He had driven all the way from Rossland to Peterborough, working as a driver in

this small company, just to piss off Mr. Horigan. Today was the perfect opportunity!

The car stopped in front of the hotel, and Eloise took Dwight upstairs.

In the elevator, Dwight was all twitchy, his long legs having nowhere to go. He was staring at Eloise.

She was wearing a long dress tonight, She had no fancy jewelry on, and just a pair of pearl earrings. Although it

was quite understated, Dwight thought she looked stunning. She was more beautiful than all of his previous

girlfriends! Dwight was always a bit flirty and restless, complaining now and then, "My tie is too tight. Can you

helpadjust it?"

With a sigh, Eloise stood up to help him. As she leaned in, a gentle fragrance wafted from her, utterly

captivating.

In a low voice, Dwight asked, "Have you ever tied a tie for Mr. Horigan?"

Eloise was clearly taken aback. Memories she had tried to forget suddenly resurfaced. That night when she first

had sex with Harvey, the next day, he had an office meeting, so she tied his tie for him. There were many more

intimate memories after that.

Eloise felt a pang of pain in her heart and didn't want to think about it anymore.

Seeing the look on her face, Dwight guessed what she was thinking and snorted. Just then, the elevator doors

opened.

Harvey and Riley were about to get in, not expecting to see this scene. Eloise was tying a tie for this handsome

young man. Both were attractive, but to Harvey, it was an eyesore.

Dwight! It was Dwight! This guy had call the way from Rossland to Peterborough, doing nothing but driving

Eloise around!

Harvey was jealous. But his status was high, and being jealous over a young man

was beneath him. Besides, he couldn't afford to lose face in such a setting.

After tying the tie, Eloise turned around and was also startled. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Finally, it was Riley who broke the silence, laughing, "Eloise, is this your new boyfriend?"

Eloise didn't answer.

Instead, Dwight was all smiles. "I'm with Ms. Laurent every day, taking her to and

from work, even living at her place. She bought this suit for me, so does that makeher boyfriend?"

He deliberately left it vague, stunning Riley.

Riley laughed. "Oh Eloise, | didn't see that coming! Well... he's not bad!" Then, he gave Harvey a sympathetic

look.

Harvey, with practiced ease, pulled out a cigarette, lifted his chin, and said, "You go ahead."

Awkward, Riley left.

Harvey looked at Eloise. "Do you know who he is?"

Eloise didn't want to talk to him. To her, it didn't matter who Dwight was. He was just a driver in the company,

getting paid to do his job.

At this point, Veronica called her, giving Eloise an excuse to leave. Dwight didn't leave. He leaned against the

hallway, watching Harvey. "Well, isn't this a coincidence, Attorney Horigan, we meet again! You see, you stole my

credit card, so I'm here to steal your girl! Oh, and don't think about using the stricks you used on Landon on

me. | have nothing now, just an $800 salary. If you want to get rid of me, I'll just move in with Ms. Laurent and let

her take care of me!"

Harvey smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. He slowly blew out a ring of smoke. "Eloise won't like your type!"

Dwight didn't get angry. He looked at Harvey. "Is that so? Let's give it a shot! Mr. Horigan... you're not bad

looking, but every part ofis top-notch too!" Harvey's gaze darkened. He did feel jealous, but as a mature

man, fighting with a 23-year-old boy would be beneath him and would only damage his reputation.
