Chapter 476

Looking embarrassed, Corbin said seriously to Maurice, “Boss, this matter may be a bit complicated.The chairman’s assistant taught me everything I know today, so I may not be able to…”

“How about a pay raise?” Maurice said calmly.

Upon hearing that his boss was ready to give him a raise, Corbin’s eyes lit up.

He was so excited that he almost agreed.

However, he managed to control himself. In fact, Corbin saw this as an opportunity for a serious salaryraise.

“Boss, it’s not about money. Aleck is really awesome,” Corbin said again.

“Really?” Maurice said leisurely, raising a brow. Of course he could clearly see what was on Corbin’smind. “Forget it. I’ll deal with it myself. I just have to stall my grandpa. It shouldn’t be difficult. I will evensave myself some money.”

“No way!” Corbin immediately refused.

Maurice suppressed a smile and said seriously, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say that you couldn’t do it?”

“How can I let you bother yourself with such a trifle? Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. I promise you I won’tlet Kelvin and the chairman near the Moran Group building!”

Corbin feared that Maurice would go back on his word and refuse to offer him a raise, so he quicklyagreed to take care of this task.

Maurice laughed and said leisurely, “Remember, keep an eye on Eliana. I want you to reassure her ifthere’s any bad news!”

“Yes, sir!” Corbin nodded and then left.

In the meeting room, Eliana and Harriet were sitting across from each other.

“How’s it going, Eliana?” Lucia shouted from outside the meeting room. She had no intention of leaving.

“Miss Stone, Lucia is my partner. I think it’s necessary that she joins our conversation,” Eliana saidcalmly to Harriet.

“Of course. Let her in,” Harriet replied with a smile.

She had initially planned to just deal with Eliana. However, she had now come up with another plan andchanged her mind.

“Lucia, come in,” Eliana shouted to the door.

Lucia quickly opened the door and entered the meeting room. She walked over to Eliana and sat downbeside her.

Now that everyone was there, the discussion began.

“Mr. Stone, I’ll go straight to the point. Why was my design modified without my permission?” Elianaasked, point blank.

She looked imposing at this moment.

Harriet wasn’t intimidated and said calmly, “Miss Pierce, I knew this matter. But you have to understandthat this bracelet will be mass-produced. Some changes are needed.”

Eliana frowned and argued, “I get that, but shouldn’t you ask for my opinion before making anychanges on the design? If I had known that you would modify the bracelet I designed, I wouldn’t haveagreed to take the project.” She was really furious.

Harriet scoffed, “Are you threatening me? If you don’t want to work on this project, there are manytalented designers who will be more than willing to replace you.” Harriet then looked at Lucia and said,“Lucia, from now on, you will be responsible for this project alone.”

Lucia was stunned. She looked at Harriet with wide eyes and blurted out, “Me?”

“Yes. Lucia, you should know that such an opportunity doesn’t present itself every day. You are just anintern designer. If you succeed in this project, you could land a contract and become a permanentdesigner here. You can think about it before you give me your answer.”

“No! I refuse!” Lucia said without hesitation.

She came here to experience life. She didn’t mind losing her job here. But she couldn’t betray herfriend just for a job.

Harriet didn’t expect that Lucia would refuse, let alone that she would do so without thinking twice. Shewas so stunned that almost lost her composure. “Are you really going to pass on such an opportunity?”

“Yes,” Lucia said firmly.

Harriet flew into a rage.

What was so special about Eliana? Why did everyone like her?

Eliana glanced at Lucia, who was sitting beside her. She was deeply touched by Lucia’s loyalty andsupport.

Meanwhile, a deep rage burned inside Harriet’s heart. Her plan had failed. She pretended to behelpless and said, “Well, since you’re so determined, I’ll reconsider my decision. If you can replace afactory to mass-produce the bracelet by yourselves, then you won’t have to modify the design.”

Eliana was stunned when she heard Harriet’s words. How could they replace a factory to mass-producethe bracelet?

Obviously, Harriet was making things difficult for them on purpose.

After thinking it over for a while, Eliana understood what Harriet was up to.

She winked at Lucia, indicating that they shouldn’t make any rash decisions and should back off fornow.

However, Lucia misunderstood it.

In fact, she thought Eliana was asking her to say yes!

“Okay! We agree!” Lucia said at once.

Eliana gasped.

Damn it!

Why? Why did she agree?
