Chapter 594

“Come with me. This is not a good place to talk,” Eliana said calmly.

She stopped a few steps away from Jonathan, with a complicated look in her eyes.

“Okay.”

Jonathan held back the surging emotions in his heart for the time being and calmly followed Eliana to

her office.

As soon as they were in the office, Eliana closed the door behind her and asked Jonathan directly, “So,

what do you want this time?”

She looked at him straight in the eyes, as if to probe his soul. It was obvious that she wanted all of this

to end as soon as possible.

“Eliana, you mean you don’t know? You’ve been having fun here for a long time. Now it’s time for you

to come back to me,” Jonathan stated in such a light tone, as if Eliana belonged to him.

Of course, Eliana had had some guesses about the purpose of his return. So, she wasn’t surprised by

what he said at all.

“Jonathan, I won’t go back with you!” she said firmly.

“Why? I thought we had a good time abroad! Why don’t you want to come back?”

Jonathan looked aggrieved. His face suddenly darkened as he thought of something.

“Is it because of Maurice? You fell in love with him, right? And now you want to leave me?”

Eliana was not at all surprised that Jonathan knew what had happened between her and Maurice. After

all, he had sent a lot of people to watch her.

The thought that Jonathan had her watched sent chills down Eliana’s spine.

At this moment, even Jonathan’s handsome and charming face suddenly seemed frightening to her.

“You really think too much. This is my hometown. I’ve started a new life here. Now I have friends, a

family, and a career… I can’t leave.”

Eliana wouldn’t dare confess to Jonathan that she was in love with Maurice. So she quickly found

excuses not to leave.

No matter what she said at this moment, she knew deep down that Maurice was the most important

reason why she didn’t want to leave.

She had fallen in love with him.

A heavy silence fell in the room. Suddenly, Jonathan’s phone rang.

When he saw the caller ID, a strange light shone in his eyes.

He answered the phone and put it on speaker.

“Hello, Mr. Bowman. I’m Brevard, the director of the factory. I’m calling about the order you placed this

morning. I figured we could sign the contract today if you have time.”

“Of course. I’m in the factory right now. You can come to Miss Pierce’s office with the contract.”

Jonathan’s eyes were fixed on Eliana when he spoke.

“You mean… You’re in Miss Pierce’s office? That’s great! I’ll be right there!”

Brevard’s voice was very excited. He quickly hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Eliana was utterly stunned.

So the mysterious client who had placed a big order was Jonathan!

“Jonathan, you don’t have to do this. I don’t need your charity,” Eliana said with a frown. She was

clearly unhappy.

Before Jonathan could reply, Brevard excitedly rushed into the office with the contract.

“Miss Pierce, it’s good you’re here. Let’s sign the contract right away, shall we?”

As he spoke, Brevard happily handed the contract to Eliana. However, she didn’t take it.

“We won’t take this order,” Eliana said crossly.

“What? We won’t? Why?”

Brevard was confused and shocked. He looked at Eliana in disbelief, with his eyes widened. Why did

she turn down such a huge order?

“There is no reason. We just won’t take it.”

Eliana had a long history with Jonathan, and right now all she wanted was to end it.

A firm resolve was visible on Eliana’s face, and seeing that, Brevard dared not say anything else,

although he was angry.

He really wanted to take this order. It was a huge deal for the factory. However, since Eliana said so, he

had no choice but to give up. After all, Eliana was the biggest shareholder of the factory.

Disgruntled, Brevard left with a long face.

“Eliana, do you really need to be so cold to me?” Jonathan asked. He was visibly annoyed by her

attitude.

“We have nothing to do with each other anymore. I just think it would be best if we stayed away from

each other’s lives.”

Eliana was fed up with him watching her every move. She wouldn’t repeat the same life this time.

She had thought, and even hoped that by being so ruthless with him, he would be angry and leave.

However, he was not. Although he looked sullen, he kept his composure.

This made her even more uneasy.
