Chapter 287

Maurice immediately noticed that Eliana was acting a little strange.

“Are you afraid?”

He lowered his head and looked at Eliana, who was still clinging to his clothes.

“No!”

Eliana was stubborn.

Maurice might have believed her if she hadn’t trembled.

He pressed the button to stop the elevator. “I want to take the stairs. What about you?”

“Mr. Moran, you’re my boss. You’re going to use the stairs. How can I take the elevator? Of course, I’llcome with you,” Eliana replied quickly.

They both exited the elevator one after the other. Corbin, who was standing behind them, squatteddown and pretended to tie his shoelaces.

There were, in fact, no shoelaces.

When Maurice and Eliana were already far away, Corbin stood up and took a glance at the stairwellwith a smile on his face.

All of his efforts would be in vain if nothing happened between Maurice and Eliana.

Maurice and Eliana walked down the stairs together. At each floor, the man walking ahead of thewoman would immediately turn on the lights.

Nobody was speaking between them.

Did Maurice walk her down the stairs on purpose?

Eliana was moved. Looking at the back of Maurice, she was not sure anymore who the man in front ofher truly was.

If Maurice and Preston were the same person, what on earth did Maurice want from her?

Maurice could feel that Eliana was staring at him. He suddenly came to a halt and turned around,asking, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid to take the stairs now?”

Under the dim light, Eliana could see the tender look on Maurice’s face.

Her heart began to beat erratically. Right there and then, she made the decision to give Maurice andherself a chance.

“Maurice, are you hiding something from me?”

Did Eliana replace out something?

“Aren’t you hiding anything from me?” Maurice asked back, staring at her.

They stared at each other for a few moments, and neither was willing to admit defeat.

But how could Eliana be a match for Maurice? She unwillingly surrendered after a while.

Indeed, she had no right to ask Maurice that question. She had kept a bigger secret from him.

She would, however, do everything she could to keep her children hidden from others.

Eliana’s heartbeat gradually returned to normal. She calmed down and distanced herself from Maurice.

“Mr. Moran, I’ll go ahead now. Take care.”

Eliana exited the stairwell without looking back.

The light was turned off. Maurice was standing alone in the dark.

He frowned, his deep eyes unfocused.

He couldn’t figure out what Eliana was hiding from him.

As soon as she handed in the design draft, Eliana received a text from Nana that she would be leavingwork late tonight.

Hence, Eliana needed to leave work early because Nana was not at home. Besides, Silas was going toher house today.

After some thought, Eliana decided to ask Harriet for a leave of absence.

Harriet, sitting in her chair, raised her head and asked, “You want to ask for leave? Why?”

“A child will pay me a visit today,” Eliana replied.

Harriet felt strange. Why did Eliana also have children at home?

“All right, go ahead, but don’t forget your work.”

Eliana nodded. She then packed her belongings and left the company.

As soon as Eliana left, Harriet received a call from a private detective.

“Miss Stone, we now know where Silas attends kindergarten.”

Harriet rose from her chair in an instant, her eyes gleaming.
