Chapter 42 Eloise trembled slightly under his gaze.

Harvey handed her his own phone and said, "Give Michelle a call so she won't worry. Your phone has been off all day." Eloise took the phone with a quiet thank you, then walked to the window to call Michelle. Michelle was still worried that she would give in to Max, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Eloise bit her lip, not knowing what to say. The phone was taken over by a slender hand, and Harvey spoke in a gentle tone, "Michelle, Eloise is with me. I'm Harvey." Eloise was shocked. She didn't expect Harvey to be willing to go public with this relationship. Did he know what he was doing? Not only her, but Michelle on the other end of the phone was also stunned. She pinched herself hard to make sure she was awake and not dreaming.

Was that really Harvey on the other end of the phone? Max's uncle-in-law? Michelle was like she had her tongue pulled out, unable to say a word. Harvey, on the other hand, spoke eloquently and explained why Eloise was with him in a few words. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Eloise and said, "Go make shot tea in the kitchen and rest after you drink it. I have sthings to deal with." After that, he walked towards the study.

Eloise softly tugged on his sleeve and said, "Harvey." Harvey turned around.

Eloise struggled to speak, and Max..." She was referring to her agreement with Max.

Harvey's eyes becdeep, and he slowly said, "I thought you had made your choice by coming back with me." He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, then said, "There will be nothing between you and Max." After Harvey finished, he went into the study. Eloise mulled over his words. She thought that he was willing to make an exception mainly for Orlena. Only if she bechis woman would Max give up.

Eloise felt a bit relieved. She went to the kitchen to prepare shoney lemon tea. Harvey's kitchen was like a model room, and she doubted he had ever used it. However, when she opened the fridge, it was filled with all kinds of food, including meat, eggs, and dairy.

Eloise took out a lemon and sother ingredients and made two cups of honey lemon tea. She brought one to Harvey.

In the study, Harvey was on the phone. When he saw Eloise at the door, he didn't avoid her but gestured for her to cin.

Eloise put the lemon tea on his desk and then prepared to leave. But her wrist was caught, and he gently pulled her onto his lap.

Harvey continued to talk to Dominique on the phone, and his other hand started teasing Eloise. Eloise couldn't stand his teasing and bit his shoulder lightly as she leaned on him.

A hint of lust flickered in Harvey's eyes.

Dominique on the other end of the phone suddenly mentioned Eloise. Harvey chuckled, "She's here with me. Want to talk to her?" Dominique was taken aback, then jokingly said, "Harvey, you move fast. Landon will be in tears if he knew." "He's not that fragile!" Harvey answered tersely.

He quickly finished up his work and picked up a few more files, all about Angus' case. When Xe finally had a NO moment, he gulped down the lemon tea and told Eloise to go to bed first, saying he still had work to do.

Eloise did not ask to sleep in the guest room because she knew what he wanted. Entering the masterm bedroom, Eloise gently lifted the thin blanket and carefully lay down. In the dim light, her skin, against the black sheets, looked incredibly sexy and glistening. She was a bit nervous, unsure when Harvey would cto bed. Would he...?
