Chapter 437

“Mr. Moran…”

When Harriet entered Maurice’s office, she saw that only he and Eliana were there. This made her feel

very uncomfortable, but she did her best not to show it on her face.

“Miss Pierce, you are here too.”

Eliana smiled awkwardly. She really admired Harriet’s ability to keep cool even under such

circumstances.

The relationship between them was no longer harmonious. But in front of Eliana, Harriet could still

maintain a calm expression. Eliana was impressed.

“What’s up?” Maurice asked Harriet. He sounded impatient.

“I heard that your grandpa is sick, and I’m very worried about him. How is he now?” Harriet had a

worried expression on her face, and she sounded sincere.

“He is fine now,” Maurice replied indifferently.

“Oh, that’s good to hear.” Harriet took a deep breath and continued, “I’ve invited the doctor who

performed his heart surgery back then to come back, just in case. Mr. Moran, when you are free, I’ll

take you to see him.”

Maurice raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

The doctor who treated Earle was not easy to invite. After Earle’s operation, he engaged in medical

research activities in other countries. Maurice didn’t expect that Harriet could persuade him to return to

the country.

When Maurice thought of Earle’s physical condition, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried too. He

pondered for a moment and replied, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“Really? That’s great!”

Harriet was apparently happy.

Eliana stood at the side, feeling like a superfluous person.

“What about Miss Pierce?” Harriet asked Maurice, but her eyes were on Eliana, looking at her

provocatively.

Maurice turned to Eliana and said expressionlessly, “You can go out first.”

He was still angry about what happened yesterday.

When Eliana heard this, her face turned pale. She looked a little embarrassed.

Harriet noticed the change in Eliana’s expression, and she couldn’t help but gloat inside.

She thought Maurice liked Eliana very much. It turned out that he got sick of Eliana so soon.

But when Eliana went out, Maurice didn’t treat Harriet any better either.

His deep-set eyes were unusually cold. He looked at her up and down for a moment and finally said

with disgust, “As Earle’s grandson, I am grateful for what you’ve done for him. But I still have to remind

you, don’t waste time and energy on me. No matter how much you invest in me, it will be futile. I’m not

interested in you, let alone marrying you.”

However, Harriet didn’t get hurt by his words. Instead, she smiled confidently.

“Maurice, I’m confident that you will be mine in the end.”

After walking out of Maurice’s office, Eliana returned to her desk, lost in thought.

Suddenly, confetti was thrown at her head with a bang. Then Lilian came out with a bottle of

champagne and their other female colleagues.

“Welcome back, Eliana! I really envy you. You can come and go to the company as freely as you want.

You have almost taken our office as your home. But why haven’t I seen any of your good works?”

Lilian seemed to welcome Eliana. But actually, every word she said was full of sarcasm.

Eliana had already gotten used to this a long time ago. So she calmly removed the confetti from her

head and took the bottle of champagne from Lilian’s hand. Then she poured two glasses leisurely, one

for her and the other for Lilian.

“Want to drink with me?”

Lilian felt frustrated when she saw that Eliana was not even affected by her words.

“Eliana, are you really that thick-skinned? How dare you still come to the company now!”

Eliana took a sip of the wine. She didn’t care about Lilian’s sarcasm at all.

“Lilian, I know you don’t like me all along. You’re saying that I seldom come to work, and I have no

good works? How about you? I have checked your works online before. Yes, you work every day. But

why haven’t you come up with any good designs? With the quality of your work, how dare you still

come to the company!”

“Eliana! You…”

Lilian was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Eliana and hit her. But a female colleague beside her

stopped her.

“Don’t do it. She has someone powerful backing her, so we can’t afford to offend her.”

This made Lilian calm down a little.

Eliana smiled with self-mockery. “I hope the next time I drink with you, it’s a celebration of my

resignation.”

Then she drank up the champagne in her glass and sat in her seat indifferently.

This time, Lilian still failed to piss her off.

Lilian stared at Eliana’s back indignantly. There was hatred in her heart.

She couldn’t wait for Harriet to get Maurice.

When that time came, Eliana would be doomed.
