Chapter 183

“Well… I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I asked for a few days’ leave,” Eliana replied nervously.

“Don’t lie, Mommy. Your nose will grow longer if you do.”

Adrian crossed his arms over his chest. He was not the type to easily get fooled, and he saw right

through her lies.

“How could I lie to you?” Eliana smiled awkwardly.

‘It’s so difficult to deceive him! It’s no wonder that he’s my son. He has clearly inherited my smartness,’

she thought.

Seeing that there was no way for her to fool him, Eliana changed the topic.

“You two, stop dawdling! We’re going to be late if we don’t leave now.”

Saying that, Eliana picked up her kids’ things and sent them to the kindergarten.

Watching them walk into the school, she turned around and sighed.

Actually, she was more anxious about finding a job than anyone. She had already applied for jobs at

many companies, but she hadn’t gotten any response.

None of the design companies were willing to give her a chance. And she found that to be a bit

strange.

Just when Eliana was feeling hopeless, her phone rang.

Thinking that it was a call from a company, she immediately answered it without even looking at the ID.

“Hello?”

“You sound so anxious. Were you waiting for something?”

‘Maurice! Why is he calling me?’

“Why are you calling me, Mr. Ex-boss?” Eliana retorted.

“I heard that you were looking for a job. How’s it going? Is everything good?” Maurice asked, even

though he knew the answer.

However, Eliana was too stubborn to reveal her situation to him.

“What a coincidence! I just found a job.”

“You found a job? I don’t buy it.”

Maurice couldn’t help but laugh in his heart when he heard those words.

He could tell whether she had found a job or not.

There was probably no one in the city who would dare to go up against the Moran Group.

Eliana also sensed that something was wrong when she heard Maurice’s words.

“How can you be so sure that I won’t find a job? Is it possible that… You did something?”

Hearing that, Maurice was taken aback.

“Eliana, you are just a designer. Do you think you deserve my meddling in your career? You just have

to admit that you’re incompetent instead of finding excuses to justify it.”

Maurice’s quick words dispelled Eliana’s suspicion for the time being.

“Let’s wait and see.”

After hanging up the phone, Eliana became more depressed.

She wondered if she should find a part-time job first.

While thinking about it, she walked to an intersection.

She looked up and saw the traffic lights. All of a sudden, a familiar-looking dog came into her sight.

Under the traffic light, a man wearing a hat and a mask was walking a puppy.

‘Bowling?’

The puppy also looked at her and barked several times, as though it recognized her.

It was indeed Bowling.

“Bowling!” Eliana shouted and wanted to cross the road, but the red light was still on. The next second,

a big red truck stopped in front of her, blocking her view.

Once the truck left, the man and Bowling were not there.

As soon as the green light was on, Eliana rushed to the other side of the road.

“Bowling!”

Even after looking around for a while, she couldn’t find the man or the dog.

Was that damned ring really destined to not fall into her hands?

At that moment, a strong gust of wind blew a leaflet towards her face.

She pulled down the leaflet and found that it was a recruitment advertisement. A high-end restaurant

called “Moonlight” was recruiting waiters and waitresses.

Eliana raised her head.

To her surprise, that restaurant was right in front of her.
