Chapter 439

She had no fear!

Eliana suppressed her rage, fearing that Maurice and Harriet would think less of her. With clenched

teeth, she muttered, “Fine! I am able to take on this issue, but…”

“But what?” Harriet inquired restlessly.

“I doubt that I can solve this problem on my own. I’m hoping that the company will send someone over

to assist me.”

Eliana was adamant that she would not accept any sort of concession.

She was unable to fall victim to the same trap repeatedly. It had cost her dearly to have to labor alone

previously. This time around she would team up with someone.

Harriet could have done nothing except assent. She took a sweeping glance at the staff members and

made an informal gesture toward one of them.

“What do you think of her? Come on, Lucia.”

Eliana traced Harriet’s finger and saw a lovely girl in black-rimmed glasses get up as she pointed.

“Miss Stone,” she said.

Eliana was surprised upon taking a glance at her on her way towards them.

She recognized her!

She recalled that the previous time when the electricity went out in the Moran Group building, a girl

stood next to Lilian and tried to admonish her, but Lilian halted her.

And she refrained from joining in Lilian’s taunt just now.

Eliana had a good opinion of her.

“From this point on, Lucia will be Eliana’s intern.”

Harriet’s patronizing tone belied the seriousness of her command.

“Certainly, Miss Stone. I commit to putting forth a lot of effort.”

Harriet nodded and gazed at Eliana once more.

“I’ve actually gotten you an ally. You can begin right away.”

After that, she walked away without a moment’s hesitation, leaving Eliana and Lucia alone.

They were both feeling a bit ashamed. Eliana was the one who initiated the conversation. “You are still

an intern? Why do I get the impression you have associated with the organization for a long time?”

Lucia Todd flushed. She gave Eliana a bashful look and remarked, “Hello there, Miss Pierce. My name

is Lucia Todd. I’ve been with the firm for three months now.”

“Three months, you say? How come you haven’t become a regular worker?” Eliana inquired in shock.

Lucia’s smile faded, and she bowed her head.

“I haven’t been officially hired since Miss Stone hasn’t validated my request. Probably… Maybe she

thought there was something I haven’t done well enough. I don’t think I’m going to become a regular

worker here.”

Eliana noticed the sadness on her face and tried to cheer her up by saying, “Eliana is fine with me. Do

not feel down. I’ll see if I can get an answer from the hiring manager for you. You didn’t do anything

wrong, so you probably would be a regular.”

Lucia sighed instantly. “That’s a lot to expect of you, Miss Pierce. It’s fine if I can’t become a permanent

employee here as long as I can gain valuable experience. I shall master from you henceforth!”

What a sincere young lady.

Eliana could only take a breath as she observed Lucia’s lack of interest. “Call me Eliana, please. Let us

collaborate to fulfill this objective.”

“All right!” Lucia’s competitive spirit was retrieved.

After that, Eliana and Lucia went downstairs. Upon getting out of the entrance, they found Harriet

waiting beside the road, and the silver Maybach halted in front of her.

Eliana noticed Maurice in the backseat as Corbin stepped out of the car to let Harriet in.

Once Harriet was buckled up, the car started.

Eliana felt an overwhelming sense of loss as she glared sadly at the car as it pulled away.

“Eliana? Eliana? What’s the matter with you?”

Lucia turned to look at the stunned Eliana in surprise.

Harriet tried to engage Maurice in a conversation while they rode in the car; nevertheless, he simply

shut off his eyes to rest with no response.

As time went on, Harriet gave up.

At some point, while driving, Corbin had to inquire.

At a red light, Corbin turned to Maurice and stated, “Boss, when we picked up Miss Stone just now, I

appeared to have seen Eliana at the entrance…”

“I don’t want to know anything about her,” said Maurice after opening his eyes.

“Mr. Jenkins, you should not bring an unrelated person to Mr. Moran in order to bother him,” Harriet

stated. “In addition, Mr. Moran’s grandfather has cardiac issues. Don’t bring up Eliana in his presence

either.”

Corbin moaned as he looked at Maurice, who said nothing but seemed to comply.

It appeared that Maurice and Eliana were still at opposite ends of the spectrum.
