Chapter 124

“What did you just say? Wait, did I hear you wrong? You’re going to have dinner with Bradly, and so is

Preston?” Corbin was perplexed.

Sitting on his chair with a calm expression, Maurice took a sip of his coffee.

“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Corbin really wished that he was deaf.

“Why did you even agree to it? Unless, you can use the avatar technique…” Corbin was truly puzzled.

He knew that Maurice’s identity would get exposed to Eliana otherwise.

Maurice stared at him as though he was looking at a fool. “If you’re not going to use your brain, then

you should probably donate it to someone who actually needs it.”

Upon hearing that, Corbin was speechless.

How could Maurice abuse him on such a personal level?

With a heavy sigh, Maurice added, “Go and call Wyatt over.”

Meanwhile, Eliana was not in the mood to work.

A lot had happened in just a day. First, Evelynn had confronted her at the company entrance, and then

Bradly had confessed his love for her, but the most pressing thing on her mind now was to find out

whether Maurice and Preston were the same man or not.

It was finally time for everyone to get off work, and while everyone happily left the Design Department,

gathering near the company entrance to discuss Bradly’s dinner invitation, Eliana just followed them

absent-mindedly.

A while later, they saw a white Audi car stop in front of the gate. Bradly got off the car, dressed

casually.

“Get in the car. I have made a dinner reservation, and you can eat all you want.”

“Long live, Mr. Stewart!” everyone cheered in unison.

Standing among them, Eliana suddenly became nervous and frowned.

Would Preston and Maurice really come?

In the darkness, a pair of evil eyes was secretly staring at her back.

Noticing Eliana standing there silently, Bradly was about to call her name, but he suddenly heard a loud

car horn blaring from behind.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of Eliana, and a frivolous version of “Preston”, dressed in a

custom-made Armani suit, came into her sight.

Without saying a word, he walked over to Eliana and slid his arm around her waist intimately.

“Sorry, babe. I’m late.”

He then opened the car backdoor for her, revealing a pile of red roses inside it.

All the other employees present there gasped in awe.

“Is he really Eliana’s boyfriend? He is so handsome!”

“Not only is he good-looking, he is also wealthy, and sickeningly romantic. How did she even manage

to find a guy like him? I really envy her.”

Eliana froze in Preston’s arms as she never expected him to make such a grand and coquettish

appearance.

Feeling embarrassed, she wriggled uncomfortably in his arms.

Preston tightened his arms around her waist as he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Don’t

move. I have to go all out with the role. Or else how are they going to believe that I am your boyfriend?”

Although Eliana felt that his words did make sense, she also felt that there was something strange

about him.

“Preston, you sound a little different today.”

Actually, it was Wyatt, playing the role of Preston. With a guilty cough, he lowered his head and

answered in a low voice, “Well, it’s because I have a cold.”

“Really?”

Eliana did not believe his words and looked at him suspiciously.

Preston’s temperament was also strange that evening. Contrary to his usual cold self, he was acting

like a frivolous young man. And he did not look like Maurice at all.

At that moment, Bradly stepped forward, and asked, “Who is this?”

Just when Eliana was about to introduce Preston to him, Wyatt offered him his hand and said, “Hello, I

am Preston Archer, Eliana’s boyfriend. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Shaking his hand with a doubtful look, Bradly asked, “Oh, I’ve known Eliana since forever. Why haven’t

I met you before?”

“You must be the senior that Eliana often talks about, right? It’s only normal that we haven’t met before.

I met her five years ago, and fell in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her, but then something

happened and we were separated. We stumbled upon each other quite recently, and I am really hoping

that we’ll be able to resume our relationship again,” Wyatt answered quickly. The men shook hands

with a fake smile, but there was a clear scent of animosity in the air.

“Come on, Bradly. Let’s go,” Eliana interrupted them just in time, pulled Wyatt’s hand and was about to

get in the car.

Staring at their backs, Bradly could not help but frown.

He thought that he knew Eliana well, and according to him, she would never fall for a frivolous man.

Moreover, this man seemed to be far inferior to Maurice.

“It’s so lively here. Do you think of the company as your home?” Maurice’s cold voice was heard all of a

sudden.

And he appeared a moment later.

Maurice, dressed in a black windbreaker, walked out of the company slowly.
