Chapter 261

Eliana could call Corbin and ask if Maurice was inside the company building.

She took out her phone and called him, but he didn’t answer. She called a few more times, but still he

didn’t receive the call.

Now that she was here, she couldn’t back down.

Eliana hyped herself up silently and approached the entrance.

Before she reached the gate, a security guard stopped her.

“I’m sorry. People unaffiliated with the Moran Group are not allowed to enter without permission.”

The Moran Group had tightened security because of the disturbance caused by Eli’s fans a few days

ago. Now it was hard for most people to get inside.

What could she do?

“Please let me in. I have an urgent situation to deal with,” Eliana pleaded.

“An urgent situation? What is it? What could you possibly have to do inside the Moran Group? Tell me.”

The security guard glared at her.

She was here to plead with Maurice. But there was no way the security guard would believe that.

Eliana didn’t know what to say.

She saw a group of people waiting in line to enter the building. The other security guards were not

stopping them.

Eliana had an idea.

“I came with them.”

The security guard gave Eliana a suspicious look. “You’re here for an interview too?”

“Yes, I’m here to be interviewed,” Eliana said. “Did I go through the wrong door?” she asked, to make

her lie more convincing.

“All the interviewees have to wait there and will be allowed to enter together later.”

The security guard pointed to another hallway.

Eliana followed the group of interviewees into the building.

Corbin was dropping by to check on the interviewees. He saw a furtive Eliana in the crowd.

Why was Eliana here in a group of interviewees?

What is possible that… Had she changed her mind and decided to return? Corbin was eager to tell the

boss the good news.

He hurried upstairs to Maurice’s office.

“Boss, you’ll be glad to hear this.”

“What is it?”

Maurice didn’t look up from the paper in his hand.

“I just saw Eliana.”

Who? Eliana?

Maurice finally looked up and raised his eyebrows. “What is she doing here?”

Maurice’s heart ached when he thought of what Eliana had said to him last night when he was Preston.

“She’s here for an interview,” Corbin said excitedly.

An interview…

She had broken up with Preston only the night before, and now she was here at the Moran Group for

an interview.

Had she broken up with Preston so that she could start over again with Maurice?

Maurice couldn’t help but consider the possibility.

Corbin noticed the change in Maurice’s expression and decided to share his other news.

“Boss, according to my investigation after I followed Nana to the hotel last night, the twins are the

children of Nana and Jonathan. They are unrelated to Eliana.”

Maurice was stunned. So the children were not his and Eliana’s. A faint sensation of loss rose in his

heart, but he pushed it down.

“Boss, should I inform the HR director now that Eliana had decided to have an interview?” Corbin

suggested.

“No need. Bring her here. I want to interview her in person,” Maurice said quietly.

“Okay.”

Just as Corbin was about to leave, Maurice stopped him.

“Forget it. I’ll go myself.”

Maurice put his coat on.

Eliana waited nervously outside the interview room.

She was supposed to be finding Maurice and speaking to him about Eli, but now she was trapped

waiting for an interview.

She was in a bind.

She was about to try to sneak away when a strange voice spoke to her.

“You are… Eliana Pierce!”
