Chapter 242

Suddenly startled, Eliana raised her brow. “Maurice, you didn’t leave…”

“It’s pouring down pretty heavily. It’s a good idea to carry an umbrella.”

Maurice’s features were muddled by the torrential downpour.

Eliana recognized this sight, as though someone had also held an umbrella for her.

Preston was the guy.

Suddenly, in her thoughts, Maurice’s face and Preston’s coincided.

Eliana had the distinct impression that these two individuals were one and the same, despite the factthat they were different.

In terms of looks, Eli resembled Preston more than Maurice, yet Preston’s lonesome temperament wasidentical to that of Maurice.

Did a connection between the two seem conceivable? Maurice was a CEO, whereas Preston was amale prostitute. They were two completely distinct individuals. Despite this, there were always a fewstriking parallels between the two of them.

It was impossible for Eliana not to take a step closer to Maurice’s umbrella.

“I’m only going to say it once, Maurice. I trust you. I feel that you did not strike Eli, and I will not serveas Eli’s full-time stylist.”

With her head held aloft, Eliana stared at Maurice as if he were the only person she cared about.

“Why do you put your faith in me?” Maurice lifted his brows in amazement.

Eliana retorted, “You’re not that dumb.”

Maurice was taken aback at that. He didn’t expect Eliana to be so honest with him.

He grinned as he fixed a thoughtful glance on her.

Eliana was surprised since she hadn’t seen Maurice smile for a very long time.

She was enamored by his ice-cold good looks and captivating grin, which had her fixated on him.

Her pulse pounded.

“It won’t repeat itself.”

Maurice’s mood improved. He discovered for the first time how lovely it might be to be trusted bysomeone.

The hatchet had clearly been buried about the matter.

“Maurice, on the other hand, as for Eli… How do you plan on dealing with him?” Eliana inquired, hervoice quiet and cautious.

“He can complete the advertisement shoot. He can then leave. I will not take action against him as longas he does not continue to behave in a hazardous manner.”

Eliana’s thoughts were clear to Maurice. She feared he would retaliate against Eli.

Was this man born that cruel?

“Nevertheless, I must get the ring.”

This was the crux of Maurice’s intentions.

“Yes, of course.”

Eliana sighed with contentment. She didn’t want anything awful to happen to Eli, despite the fact thatshe wouldn’t work for him.

She had apparently disregarded something…

“Maurice, why are you so obsessed with that ring? Do you very badly want to collect it?” Eliana saidwith a shaky voice.

Maurice’s heartbeat quickened. He suddenly understood that he was not Preston, but Maurice. Hisfocus on the ring was unnecessary.

“Isn’t it important to you to have that ring? I only want to retrieve it for you.”

Maurice maintained his composure while he lied.

Once again, he was not telling the truth.

Eliana felt dejected at the moment. Even after all this time, Maurice remained a mystifying figure with aplethora of mysteries.

At the roadside, their actions were seen by another individual.

It turned out to be Gerald’s secretary, Sean.

Sean, who was in then seat munching on bread, was befuddled by the two people.

Didn’t Eliana and Maurice have a fight before? Why did they get back together?

Outside the window, the chilly rain splattered the glass. Sean saw Maurice and Eliana engaging inintimate interactions.

He pulled out his phone once again and phoned the familiar number.

“Eliana and Maurice seem to be back together,” he uttered.

“It seems like they get along well,” Sean then continued in a quiet voice after glancing at the guy andlady in the rain.

“I didn’t ask you to watch them love each other! You must be out of your mind. Have you locatedEliana’s children’s father yet?”

Gerald was incensed. He feared that he might die of a heart attack since he was so enraged all thetime.

“I haven’t discovered the individual yet,” Sean remarked, moving the phone from his ear slightly.

“What?”

“However, I got a name: Preston Archer,” Sean added rapidly. “He is a male prostitute, but Eliana andhe are romantically involved. I’m stumped as to where he is.”

Gerald developed a keen interest in the subject. “What else do you have for me?”

Gerald was told by Sean of what he’d learned.

“I just watched Maurice take on a well-known celebrity, Eli.”

“What was their fight about?”

Sean explained, “Because of Eliana, they got into a fight. Eliana may be having a relationship with Eli,as evidence suggests.”

How was it feasible for this lady to have so many men in her life?

Gerald, on the other hand, could be able to take advantage of the conflict between Maurice and Eli.

Gerald’s features contorted into a sinister grin.

The reputation of the Moran family was very important to them. If Earle had any knowledge of this…
