Chapter 280
The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy
When the lights were turned on, the whole building of the Moran Group was silent, with just Eliana
working overtime. It was getting close to ten oâclock by the time she approved the initial draft of the
bracelet.
Time was not on her side! Eliana rose to her feet and started to gather her things, wanting to leave
work immediately.
Her phone rang out of nowhere in the eerily calm building.
Who could have contacted her so late in the night? Eliana pulled out her phone as she walked out of
the office.
It was Nancyâs video call request.
She then realized that she had not seen Nancy in quite some time.
Without delay, she answered the video call, âMrs. Moran⦠Maurice?! Why are you the one calling?â
The person that appeared on the screen was Maurice, not Nancy.
âDid you not see the text messages I sent you?â
Text messages?
Eliana left the video interface. After that, she discovered that Maurice had truly sent her multiple
messages, asking if she could arrange a video call and informing her that his grandma wanted to see
her.
However, she was too preoccupied to see the messages sooner.
âMr. Moran, whatâs up? Itâs just now that Iâm getting home from work. When I was preoccupied, wasnât it
natural that I would miss the messages?â
Immediately after her remarks, she proceeded to the elevator and punched the down button.
âPreoccupied? Are you still in the firm at this time?â
âIndeed, Iâve been working beyond my normal schedule up to this point. When you have an employee
like me, you might be secretly pleased as a boss.â
Maurice and Harriet returned to the Moran familyâs home with smiles on their faces as she worked
extra here.
Elianaâs heart sank as she contemplated this.
In the midst of their conversation, the elevator was about to come.
How long had Eliana been working overtime? How was she still in the company?
At ten oâclock, the Moran Groupâs building would lose electricity for maintenance, and Maurice realized
that it was nearly 10 oâclock.
Fuck!
Mauriceâs eyebrows furrowed and he said, âEliana! Listen to me! Donât go in the elevator at this time.â
It was nevertheless too late for him to say so.
The elevator arrived.
And Eliana walked inside it.
âWhat was that?â
Eliana failed to hear what Maurice had just said. When she turned her head again, the elevator door
had closed and it had begun to descend.
A few stories down, the elevator froze and would not go again. The surrounds were engulfed in
darkness.
âThe hell!â
Elianaâs screamed as a result of her being startled by the sudden darkness. Her legs began to tremble
as a result of her terror. She squatted down while holding her head. Even her phone tumbled to the
floor after slipping from her grasp.
The video chat on the phone abruptly ended due to a lack of reception.
What had gone wrong?
Eliana had no idea what was happening. With little light to guide her, she strained to locate her phone
on the floor.
She carefully stood up with her back against the elevator wall after swiftly turning on the flashlight on
her cell phone.
Eliana spotted the notification of a power outage and maintenance on the elevator wall in the low light
of her cell phone. According to the notice, the electricity would be turned off for maintenance from
10:00 p.m. tonight to 6:00 a.m. in the morning.
The last clause was highlighted in red.
âDonât use the elevator within the designated time period.â
The sight of it left Eliana in a state of disbelief. She could not refrain from cursing, âFuck this! Why
didnât you install a caution sign in front of the elevator?â
Who in the devil placed that notice inside? Didnât they realize that such an essential notification needed
to be displayed outside the elevator for everybody to see?
As soon as she had stepped inside the elevator, warnings were of no use anymore.
In a fit of hysteria, the elevator went down as soon as she finished cursing.
âGod!â Eliana let out another scream.
Now she was really scared.
âEliana! Eliana! Eliana!â
Maurice couldnât get through to Eliana when the video conversation was abruptly cut off.
Beep! Beep!
Damn! Eliana was still in the firm. Clearly, she was in danger.
Fear gripped Maurice as he clutched his phone desperately.
âMaurice, whatâs the matter?â
Nancy, too, noticed something was amiss when she saw her grandsonâs pale face.
âGrandma, thereâs a chance Elianaâs in danger. Iâm going to the company right now to look for her.â
When Maurice finished speaking, he dashed out of the door like a wind gust.
âEliana, hang on⦠Iâll be right there.â
