Not Understand This Man
"I am not authorized to give you any details about the client right now." Corbin’s expression was subtle
and his answer was vague.
Eliana felt suspicious.
However, before she could say anything, Bradly continued, "Why didn’t the client come to the Design
Department to meet her in person?"
Turning his head to look at Bradly, Corbin curled his lips in anger and said, "What are you trying to say?
Are you saying that Mr.Moran has to come to you with the client first?"
"No! I didn’t mean that," Bradly quickly denied.
He tilted his head downwards and looked at Eliana, who didn’t seem happy at all.He added in a gentle
voice, "It’s great that a client asked to work with Eliana, but it’s up to her whether to accept the project
or not.If she doesn’t want to do it, I won’t force her to accept any arrangement beyond those within the
Design Department."
"Bradly, do you know what you are talking about?"
Corbin’s face darkened as he said, "Are you going to make Mr.Moran look bad by turning a client down
on behalf of Eliana?"
"Well, I’m the director of the Design Department.As such, I have to be responsible for the members of
the Design Department," said Bradly, puffing his chest up with a smile on his face.
Although Eliana was moved by his words, she didn’t want Bradly to get into trouble with Maurice for her
sake.She smiled and said, "Bradly, it’s okay.I’m willing to meet this client."
"All right Go ahead."
Bradly gazed at her, his eyes gentle and firm, and added, "Let me know if you need anything."
Eliana nodded and then pushed Corbin out.
"Mr.Jenkins, let’s go.You shouldn’t keep Mr.Moran and the client waiting!"
The two reached the top floor via the CEO’s private elevator.
Corbin opened the door of the CEO’s office for Eliana.
Eliana took each step forward cautiously and eventually found two people sitting on the sofa.
Maurice was leaning against the sofa leisurely with a faint smile on his face.
There was a woman sitting very close to him.She looked graceful, dressed in a matcha-colored
cheongsam.Her hair was coiled up behind her head, adorned with tiny gems.
It was clear to see that she had taken the time to dress up.
Eliana couldn’t hear what she was saying to Maurice because she was speaking in a very low voice.
The slit of the cheongsam was noticeably high, and the woman’s slender legs were almost rubbing up
against Maurice’s knees.
From a distance, anyone could tell that the two were being very intimate with each other.
Without conscious thought, Eliana stopped in her tracks.She felt breathless, almost as if someone had
reached into her chest and squeezed her heart.
Maurice raised an eyebrow at Eliana contemptuously and said, "Do you need me to tell you to walk
closer?"
He always sought revenge for the smallest of grievances.
Since Eliana didn’t seem to have a problem holding Bradly’s arm to make him feel jealous, he was
going to give her a taste of her own medicine.
Stifling her surging emotions, Eliana raised her chin and walked forward.
The woman on the sofa turned around and looked at her with a bright smile.
"Eliana, you’re finally here.Maurice and I have been waiting for you for a while now."
Eliana’s body froze in an instant.
The woman’ was none other than Evelynn.
"When Maurice learned that I want to change a necklace’s design, he recommended you.I know we’ve
had some misunderstandings before, but I trust your skills," Evelynn said in a gentle and sincere voice.
Her behavior now was significantly different from when they were at the dinner party where it seemed
as though she was going to skin Eliana alive.
Maurice had never taken the initiative to talk to her before, but this time, he enthusiastically invited her
to the Moran Group.
Evelynn felt flattered by his gesture, so much that she even deluded herself into imagining herself as
the future Mrs.Moran.
