Chapter 187

The girl suddenly turned turn hostile towards Eliana.

Eliana was stunned, her mouth agape. “You may have misconstrued what I meant. My employer has

absolutely no business with me,” she finally clarified after some time.

“I’m not convinced. Why is the boss gazing at you and smiling at you if you have nothing to do with

him?” Alissa exclaimed in a furious manner as if Eliana had snatched her lover.

Eliana wasn’t sure whether she should laugh or weep. She wondered why it happened so often to her.

It felt that the people around an attractive man could easily be misunderstood.

“In that case, I’m at a loss for words.” Eliana sounded dismissive of the topic.

“You!” Alissa began to feel nervous.

“Alissa, that’s enough. How could you make such a statement on Miss Pierce?” Suddenly, Jordy

appeared and yelled at Alissa.

Alissa felt aggrieved and said, “Mr. Hamilton, why are you speaking on her behalf?”

Jordy gave her a frown and warned, “Keep your tongue in check. Keep that bad mouth shut about Miss

Pierce.”

Alissa was a bully to the weak and a trembler to the powerful. Her spirits dropped and she walked

away, disheartened, the moment Jordy yelled at her.

The relief on Eliana’s face was palpable as she thanked Jordy for his help.

“I can’t thank you enough, Mr. Hamilton.”

“Miss Pierce, it’s all good. I’ll be there for you if you ever need me. Anytime, I mean.”

Even though Jordy was playing nice, he was not going to give up his evil designs.

As it turned out, Eliana wasn’t the boss’s girlfriend. He could prey on her since she was a novice with

no prior experience.

Jordy’s grin became more sordid as his mentality degraded.

Eliana began working in Moonlight the next day.

Within a few days, she had established herself as the restaurant’s go-to person for cuisine and had a

well-rounded intellect.

The diners at the restaurant were enamored with the new hire’s attractiveness and skill set. There were

more and more guys approaching her.

Jordy was worried when he saw how well-liked Eliana was. He was worried that someone else might

have the lady of his dreams first.

The sooner he made Eliana his girlfriend, the better.

He already had a plan for how he was going to do it.

“Miss Pierce, please come here.” Jordy gave Eliana a friendly wave.

Eliana approached him. “What is it, Mr. Hamilton?” Eliana asked curiously.

“Let’s go for a bottle of red wine from the storeroom behind the kitchen.” Jordy’s expression was

impeccable.

Eliana said without hesitation, “Sure, sir.”

Jordy’s eyes became dimmer, and a little grin crept over his lips.

Jordy had Eliana accompany him to the storeroom. The door here was kept locked year-round to better

store the red wine. When the light went out, the storeroom became so dim that it was impossible to see

anything in it.

“Why don’t you switch on the light, Mr. Hamilton?”

Eliana’s natural apprehension was heightened by the darkness.

And how could Jordy, who was lurking in the darkness, switch on the light? Taking advantage of the

opportunity to rape Eliana while the storeroom was dark and the coast was clear was all he desired.

‘I’m here, little cute thing.’

The demonic Jordy stretched out to Eliana, who was unaware of what was about to unfold.

The door suddenly swung open.

“I knew you were slacking off again, Newcomer! I want you back working!”

Alissa’s high-pitched voice echoed throughout the storeroom.

Alissa had been attempting to get Eliana into trouble for the last few days. This was her opportunity at

last.

“Okay, I’ll be there in a moment.”

Eliana hurriedly exited the storeroom, her brow furrowed in disgust.

Alissa’s complacency grew as she saw Eliana who was hurrying.

Jordy emerged from the shadows with a glum expression. Alissa was probably on his hit list!

“Alissa! It’s about time you used your manners! What is it about you that makes it impossible to let the

sleeping dogs lie? Honestly, I doubt that you have something to do. Why don’t you return to your job

right away?”

Jordy’s temper flared as he yelled at Alissa, shocking her.

Alissa regained her composure when Jordy left.

The chief had never been so nasty to her in all her years of employment!

The newcomer was solely to blame.

Eliana was to blame for everything, according to Alissa.

For the simple reason that Eliana caused her to be scolded, she would make things difficult for her

Alissa made a promise to herself that she would expel Eliana from the restaurant!
