Chapter 511

After Maurice hung up the phone, Corbin walked in from the outside. He left the company with Mauriceand could almost consider himself a jobless vagabond now.

He said, “Mr. Moran, I just got the news that the projects you are working on have all been stopped bythe chairman, especially the cooperation with the Stone family.”

Maurice was not surprised anymore. Since Earle made a move, he already guessed this result.

He remarked, “Does Grandpa think I will give in just because of this?” With a sneer, he added, “Geraldis not capable enough. Just let him do whatever he wants. In a few days, he will have to beg me tocome back.”

“But the chairman won’t let it go just like that either,” Corbin said worriedly.

But Maurice was not afraid at all. “Grandpa has been old, thinking that it’s still easy to run the entireMoran Group. He is not aware that the world has changed too fast, and that everything has long beendifferent from before.”

Corbin felt relieved when he saw that Maurice seemed to have some plans.

He knew that Maurice would not be defeated that easily.

With this thought, a sense of pride suddenly emerged in his heart. “Mr. Moran, what do you think weshould do now?”

Maurice sat on the sofa and took a sip of his coffee calmly. “Nothing. We don’t need to do anything.”

“Nothing? Then what will happen?”

Corbin didn’t understand what Maurice meant.

“We’ll take a leave.”

After saying this, Maurice closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa lazily. It was as if he was really onvacation mode.

“Corbin, I remember that you still have a lot of unused paid leaves. Use it now. Go have a rest for a fewdays. You will still get paid.”

In the past, Corbin was so busy every day that he never thought he could hear the word “rest” fromMaurice.

He couldn’t help teasing, “Mr. Moran, it’s really easy for you to say that. You’re a Moran, and thechairman thinks highly of you. So you can take a leave anytime you want. You can still be in yourposition when you return. But I’m not sure if I can have the same result.”

Maurice knew Corbin was joking. He opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Do you think Ican’t afford to support you as an assistant?”

Corbin couldn’t help smiling, feeling a little touched.

He had been working with Maurice for many years, and he felt that Maurice had already regarded himas a friend.

Corbin suddenly thought of Eliana. “Mr. Moran, what about Eliana? What are you going to tell her?”

Maurice was silent for a moment. Then he said in a deep voice, “Don’t tell her anything for the timebeing.”

“But…”

Corbin was a little worried. He wanted to say something, but Maurice interrupted, “I have my reasons.”

Maurice couldn’t help thinking of Eliana’s phone call last night.

After going through so much, he could finally have a real date with her. He didn’t want any trouble atthis time.

It was hard enough to deal with Earle. He only hoped Eliana could live well now.

So he decided to hide everything from her for the time being.

Today, Eliana specially took a leave. She dressed up beautifully, went to the amusement park early,and waited for Maurice at the gate.

There were so many people, but Maurice still saw Eliana among the crowd at a glance.

Today, she was wearing a pinkish-purple chiffon dress with a knitted coat over it. She looked extremelycharming. No one would think that this beautiful young woman was already a mother of two children.

“You’re here.”

Eliana ran towards Maurice with a flushed face. He wondered if it was because of the sun.

His eyes unconsciously softened as he said, “Why did you choose the amusement park for our date?”

“Because this amusement park was my favorite place when I was a child. My parents often took mehere to play. Later, my father even told me that he would build a better amusement park than this onein the Pierce Group’s own theme park. Although it didn’t come true later, I still like it here the most.”

While she talked about her family, Eliana’s eyes seemed to be shining.

This light made Maurice indulge in it involuntarily. He felt as happy as when he went to the amusementpark with his parents and sister when he was a child.
