Chapter 381

Eliana enjoyed a soothing hot shower in her hotel room. The doorbell suddenly rang while she was

blow-drying her hair.

The individual who knocked on the door said something.

She could just make out the word “dinner” in the roar of the hair dryer.

Someone had delivered food to her door!

Eliana’s stomach was growling and she’d perhaps eat an ox by herself! Picking up the word dinner, she

dashed to the door. She was still dressed in her bathrobe and lacked the patience to dress first.

“Wow, this is awesome!”

She froze at the sight of the guy as soon as she opened the door.

“Maurice! What are you doing here right now?”

When she opened the door to her room, she was surprised to see Maurice waiting there with a cart full

of food.

Eliana’s head was spinning. Should he not be at a banquet right now?

What was the point of bringing her food?

The lady standing before Maurice was wearing a white bathrobe. She had damp hair. She looked like

she’d just gotten out of the shower. The heated air caused her cheeks to flush and her eyes to sparkle.

She came out as really alluring.

Maurice’s eyes dimmed, and then he grimaced in displeasure.

“Why do you not know how to safeguard yourself, Eliana? Would you blindly open the door for an

unknown guy who just knocked on your door?”

Eliana felt a bit mortified when she looked at how she’d come out. She quickly clarified, “I assumed it

was the waitress. Because she had already brought me water. That’s why I didn’t bother getting

dressed.”

Who would have imagined that this CEO would personally bring her dinner?

She kept the thought to herself.

With his expression softening somewhat after listening to Eliana’s explanation, Maurice prepared to

push the cart in.

Eliana went into a frenzy at the drop of a hat. She halted the cart and the guy who was attempting to

enter.

“I only need the dishes right now! I’m dying! You’re free to go now.”

Maurice’s brows furrowed in disappointment as he saw this.

He delivered her supper since he figured she hadn’t eaten yet and was with no doubt ravenous.

But now that she had obtained what she wanted, she desired his departure?

She really treated him like a waiter!

Maurice’s anger grew as he contemplated the situation. He made a threat, saying, “I’ll leave if you want

me to. However, I will take these munchies with me. And you’ll probably die of hunger.”

He abruptly turned around and seemed to be going. Eliana snatched Maurice’s arm and the food cart

without a second thought.

“Come on!”

She gulped hard as she saw the food on the cart, which was about to slip off her hands!

She was hungry as a wolf!

“Can I at least be left with the food?”

Maurice pointed to the delectable meal and then to himself in a casual manner.

“You don’t need the food if you don’t need me inside. It’s either that or nothing.”

Eliana, on the other hand, was not prepared to starve herself to death. As a result, she allowed Maurice

inside with reluctance.

“Take a breather. I’m going to get dressed now.”

It was no longer acceptable for her to be dressed in this manner, given the presence of Maurice in the

room. She hurriedly grabbed her clothes and ran to the bathroom to get changed.

A dim light greeted her when she emerged from the bathroom. Maurice had lighted the candles he had

brought and set the food on the table.

“Are you all set? It’s about time you have supper now.”

During his speech, Maurice poured wine into goblets from a bottle.

The man’s eyes, which were normally frigid, were particularly warm under the cool yellow light. And he

had a more appealing and lovelier face.

The candlelight meal was a surprise from Maurice to her?

Eliana’s heart was racing as she stood motionless.

While sitting on the chair, Maurice waved to her. “Why are you standing there like that? I thought you

were starving.”

Finally, Eliana succumbed to the allure of excellent food and a lovely guy. She made her way over.

“Let’s simply have supper together, and then you’ll be on your way. Deal?”

She dropped her eyes to avoid his sight. She couldn’t bear to look him in the eyes.

“It’s only right if we ate first.”

The tone of Maurice’s voice seemed strained. He didn’t say if he agreed or didn’t.

The moon glimmered through the fog, casting a faint glow. Eliana and Maurice sat down to dinner in a

quiet, candlelit room. They seldom experienced such tranquility. Everything was absolutely great as the

nice vibe spread.

She savored every mouthful of her meal, but she couldn’t help but peek at the attractive guy sitting

opposite her.

A longer period of time with him was something she yearned for.

If only he could be like this in the future whenever they were together.
