Chapter 209

At the sight of Maurice, Eliana’s jaw almost dropped from the shock. Why on earth was she seeing him

again?

She was on the verge of breaking down. It seemed that everywhere she went, Maurice would be just

around the corner.

Despite the many people around them, Maurice ignored it and calmly made his way to Eliana.

“Oh? You’ve found a job so soon? You’re not a waitress in Wyatt’s restaurant anymore, but a worker in

Nicole’s team instead. You’re quite capable.”

In actual truth, Maurice felt a prick of discomfort stabbing him upon seeing that Eliana would rather

debase herself and do petty chores for Nicole than work for him in Moran Group.

“Maurice, do you think I owed you something in my previous life? If that’s not the case, why are you

always sticking to me wherever I go?”

Eliana was irritated. Her bad luck was off the charts! Everywhere she went, she would always find

herself face to face with Maurice. She hated it, so much that she couldn’t hold back from rolling her

eyes in disgust.

The gesture did not go unnoticed by Maurice. Did she loathe him that much?

The thought infuriated him, and his anger reared its ugly head once more.

“Don’t be so narcissistic, Eliana. I’m not here for you. I came to inspect the shopping mall based on a

business plan my company’s approved since a long time ago. The Moran Group is engaged in various

industries. If you want to completely avoid me, you’ll have to leave the earth.”

A plan from a long time ago?

What nonsense! He probably came here for Nicole.

As this flashed through Eliana’s mind, jealousy filled her heart.

On the other hand, Tania’s eyes lit up with excitement the moment she laid her eyes on Maurice.

He was a man well-known for his prestige and wealth. If she could be with him, she would live in

comfort and luxury for the rest of her life!

Fantasizing a wealthy life of her own, Tania hurriedly straightened her clothes and strutted confidently

towards Maurice.

“Greetings. You must be Mr. Moran. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Tania Wilson, Nicole’s exclusive

stylist.”

As this went on, Eliana looked at Tania with her mouth agape. A second ago, Tania was screaming her

head off at Eliana. Yet in the blink of an eye, her fury had vanished and she was quick to put on a coy

act for Maurice.

The change in her demeanor was lightning fast. Eliana was stunned speechless.

Maurice retained his cold and aloof persona despite Tania’s obvious flattery. It was obvious he didn’t

care for her or her flattery.

“There’s no need to greet me. Just do a good job with Nicole. Besides, Eliana used to work in the

Design Department in Moran Group. I think both of you will cooperate well.”

With that, Maurice gave Tania a meaningful look before leaving.

Tania suddenly felt a chill down her spine when Maurice’s deep eyes landed on her just now. Did Mr.

Moran imply that she should be kind to the newcomer, Eliana?

She turned to scrutinized Eliana, scanning the latter up and down with great suspicion. Who the hell

was this woman? How could someone like Eliana attract the attention of a big shot like Mr. Moran?

“Hey, what’s your relationship with Mr. Moran?” Tania demanded, jealousy evident in her voice.

Eliana’s response was a bitter smile. Helpless, she explained again, “Nothing. I have nothing to do with

Mr. Moran.”

Tania calmed down upon Eliana’s confirmation. Her arrogance returned full swing.

She glanced at Eliana up and down again before hissing contemptuously, “I knew it! How could Mr.

Moran be interested in a plain Jane like you?”

Even if Maurice wanted to sleep around, Tania felt that he should at least choose a woman on Nicole’s

level. The boring and ordinary Eliana in front of Tania wasn’t even qualified to carry Maurice’s shoes!

Just then, the staff appeared to urge the progress, claiming that the models had yet to be dressed.

Tania casually pointed at Eliana and ordered haughtily, “You! Go find matching clothes for the models.”

Eliana was baffled. “Me?”

“Of course! Who else?! Do you expect to do it for Nicole? Dream on!” Tania was smug, taking Eliana for

granted.

Eliana was fuming, but told herself to calm down. ‘Calm down! I have to control myself. I have to

restrain myself. The salary of twenty-five thousand dollars is at stake!’

Thinking of the money, Eliana successfully held back her anger.

“Fine, I’ll do as you say.”

While Eliana had a hard time and was given difficult tasks, she endured and still followed professional

ethics. She selected clothes that Tania had given up on but she thought were suitable, and distributed

them to the models.

Nana saw that Eliana was getting closer and closer to her, and began to panic.

What should she do?! At this rate, she would expose herself!

“Hello, excuse me. These are your clothes.” Eliana finally arrived and handed Nana the clothes.

Nana took it nervously, dreading the terrible future.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Time passed, and Eliana didn’t recognize her. This was great! Nana breathed a sigh of relief, the tense

knot in her body unraveling.

However, it was perfectly normal for Eliana to not have recognized Nana.

Because just as Eliana was about to reach Nana moments ago, Nana grabbed a paper bag lying

beside her and hastily slipped it over her head.
