No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 195

Eleanor's face had gone pale with fright. She caught her breath and managed to say, "I'm alright."

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention to the road," Xavier apologized.

Eleanor knew she shared some of the blame, so she offered a reassuring smile. "It's not your fault. Just try not to get distracted while driving."

Xavier pressed down on the gas and continued the drive to her house.

When they reached Eleanor's front door, she paused before stepping out, glancing back to remind him, "Mr. Vaughn, please drive carefully."

Xavier lowered the window, watching her walk away. To himself, he murmured, "Miss Sutton, we have all the time in the world."

The early morning sun spilled across Eleanor, gilding her like the first bloom of a rose at dawn. Her skin glowed with a pearly luster, her beauty dazzling—almost breathtaking.

Eleanor herself was the only one unaware of just how striking she was.

But for those who noticed, they had long since fallen under her spell.

Catching sight of the time, Eleanor realized she needed to hurry—she had a meeting at Meridian Dynamics, and she hated being late.

She rushed to the conference room, only to collide with someone at the door. Even though she tried to stop, momentum pitched her straight into his arms.

A strong arm circled her waist, and Eleanor, startled, looked up. Ian was gazing down at her. "Where's the fire?"

She quickly pushed him away and took a step back, frowning on instinct. "Don't touch me."

Ian's expression stiffened for a moment, then he gestured to the doors. "Let's go in."

So, he was here for the meeting as well.

Eleanor entered the conference room and immediately noticed Joel, Faye, and Gwenda already seated.
