Earlier in the day, she received a call from her uncle, Wesley, informing her that he had lost his job.
He was now relying on Eleanor to put in a good word for him with Brian.
Recently, rumor had it that Eleanor was Brianâs girlfriend.
Moira was unsure if Eleanor would be willing to help her uncle.
âHey, whereâs my coffee?â Eleanor asked lazily after removing her makeup.
âHere it is.
â Moira hurriedly brought her the cup of coffee.
âEleanor, I read online that youâre going to become Mrs.
Hughes.
As your assistant, I couldnât be more proud.
â
Upon hearing the flattery, Eleanor cast a self-satisfied smile in Moiraâs direction.
Although Eleanor knew the rumor was fake, she enjoyed the feeling of being envied by everyone.
Thanks to Brianâs influence, she now commanded respect from everyone.
âEleanor, Iâd like to ask for your help.
â Moira approached Eleanor and began massaging her shoulders.
âWhat do you need help with?â Eleanor asked, enjoying the massage.
âMy uncle is a contractor for Hughes Groupâs construction team.
His superior made a mistake, which led to Brian Hughes firing both him and his team.
He knows I work as your assistant and hopes you could speak to Mr.
Hughes on his behalf.
I couldnât turn him down, so I had to ask for your help.
â
Hearing this, Eleanor scoffed, âYour uncle runs into trouble, and you come to me for help? Who do you think you are?â

How could she stoop to help an assistant?
âI know Iâm not worthy of asking for your help, but he is my uncle.
â
After a pause, Moira continued, âMore importantly, there are rumors that Mr.
Hughes is very good to you.
Thatâs why my uncle asked for my help.
If I refused, he might suspect the rumors are false and that Mr.
Hughes isnât treating you well.
â
Eleanor glanced at her and sneered, âYouâre becoming quite the smooth talker.
â
âI learned a lot from you.
â Moira complimented her.
Eleanor smirked but didnât commit to helping Moira.
She picked up her phone to browse.
She checked her Twitter notifications.
Had Brian purchased jewelry for her?
Eleanorâs eyes sparkled, and she sat up attentively.
