Chapter 225

There was nothing Maurice could do except watch as Eliana ran away from him and toward the star,

not looking back.

A chill started to permeate his body and his face became darker.

Was that not the star in the park with Eliana the previous time?

“Corbin, who the hell is that guy?” Maurice inquired, frowning.

Corbin said with a squint, “Eli Goodwin must be his name. He has lately gained popularity as an idol.

He’s here to film the Moran Group’s current season jewelry commercial.”

“Why is Eliana rushing to him?” Maurice inquired.

Then, after a few moments of silence, Corbin replied, “It was previously announced that the Moran

Group’s stylist had been turned down by Eli’s agent, who said that he would bring his own stylist

instead. I guess Eliana is the stylist they referenced.”

Corbin attempted to speak with as much caution as possible so as not to irritate his boss once again.

However, the look on Maurice’s face continued to deteriorate.

Eliana was adamant that she would not return, no matter how he tried to persuade or trick her. When

she accepted a job offer from someone else, she promptly came.

When Maurice realized what he was doing, he sneered. “Now that she has a new job, she is happy to

come to the Moran Group.”

While listening to Maurice’s words, Corbin had the distinct impression that the man was speaking with

clenched teeth. He made an effort to console his employer. “It’s at least good to hear that Eliana has

come, right?”

Maurice couldn’t say anything. He swung back to face Corbin and sent him a cold look.

Corbin’s body shook, and he quickly stopped talking.

In his head, he couldn’t help but reflect on the situation. He felt he had no choice but to put up with it

since his employer had offered him a raise.

Eliana, on the other hand, pursued Eli all the way to the top floor.

After exiting the elevator, she located the room for Eli with precision. She stepped in after knocking on

the door.

Eli was now seated on the couch with his eyes closed. He seemed exhausted.

When he heard the door open, he assumed that it was his assistant. Before opening his eyes, he

commanded, “Prepare coffee for me. I want to drink some for refreshment. Don’t sweeten it with sugar.”

Eliana was puzzled. He asked her to be a stylist, didn’t he? For what reason was she supposed to

make him coffee?

Nobody answered Eli. He said with impatience, “Go ahead. What’s the holdup?”

Eliana had no option but to put up with it in order to acquire the ring. Since Eli requested a cup of

coffee, she turned around and walked to the pantry to prepare one.

Eli opened his eyes hesitantly as he smelled the aroma of coffee.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was met by Eliana, who was holding a cup of coffee before him.

“The hell! Why is it always you?!” Eli was so shocked that he almost hit the cup of coffee across the

room. “Are you always on my tail? The Moran Group is so tightly protected. How did you get into this

place?”

Eliana was taken aback by his behavior as well. Once she had the coffee set up, she said, “I wasn’t

following you. I’m here to do my job, and I’m here to…”

Prior to finishing her sentence, Eli yelled, “Security, get rid of her!” at the top of his lungs.

Eli was skeptical of what Eliana claimed. Could it be possible that such a coincidence occurred?

His agent walked in as soon as he was done speaking.

“What exactly did you say, Eli?”

“The timing couldn’t be better, Inger. Expel this lady from the premises,” Eli said while pointing to

Eliana.

Inger Sumner greeted Eliana cordially, “You are Miss Eliana Pierce, aren’t you?” as she noticed her

face clearly.

“I am.” Eliana nodded her head in agreement.

“Inger Sumner, Eli’s agent. Today, please assist us with his grooming.”

Eliana shook Inger’s hand as soon as she extended hers. “My pleasure, Ms. Sumner. As far as my

work goes, you can count on me to give it my all.”

Eli was taken aback by their exchange.

She was really here for a job.

With a stern look in her eyes, Inger urged Eli, “Please, Eli, be a gentleman today. Please don’t cause

any problems for me while filming the commercial. Nicole endorsed Miss Pierce’s services. Please

work with her on this, okay?”

In the face of the agent’s stern scrutiny, Eli admitted, “Of course.”

Inger felt a sense of relief and went to work.

Yet after she departed, Eli’s face took on a completely different expression.

His eyes became more ominous. “Tell me, what’s your purpose in approaching me?” he asked coldly

as he stared at Eliana.
