Chapter 45 A Stingy Man

Nancy and Eliana talked for a very long time.It wasn’t until night fell that Nancy finally bade goodbye and left.

The second she stepped out, Eliana’s sweet smile vanished, as if it was never there in the first place.

She turned to Maurice and said to him in a robotic tone devoid of any emotions, "Our cooperation is over.Don’t forget the rewards you’ve promised me."

Her curt and cold tone hardened Maurice’s gaze.He hissed icily, "Is that all you care about? Money?"

"What else?"

Eliana stopped in her tracks and stared at him, scoffing, "Are you saying you’ll be responsible for me?"

Maurice frowned.

"I can do that."

"No, thanks.I don’t need someone like you to be responsible for me.But if you really want to make up to me, answer my question honestly."

Eliana took a deep breath, steeling herself.

"Hodge Chadwick talked to you at the dinner party.Has he worked for you?" Maurice’s eyes darkened instantly.

"Why are you asking that?"

How odd.

Why was Eliana asking him about Hodge out of the blue? Maurice found it suspicious.

Perhaps Gerald told her to pry into something? Eliana was unwavering.

Her eyes bore into Maurice’s as she pressed in a firm tone, "Answer me, Maurice.It’s very important to me."

She looked so serious that Maurice found the whole situation to be delicious irony.

As it turned out, she couldn’t hide her secret anymore.

Maurice wasn’t about to answer.

Instead, he sneered disdainfully, "That’s our company’s confidential information.Do you think I have to tell you everything just because you slept with me?"
