A dejecting sensation lingered in Harriet’s heart.

She felt like she had shot herself in the foot and dug her own grave.

Wanting to escape Maurice’s wrath, Harriet smiled faintly and reasoned, “I didn’t know that Eliana and Cheryl weren’t on good terms, Mr. Moran. Eliana’s performance is outstanding, so I assigned that important case to her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it.”

But then, no matter how convincing Harriet’s explanation sounded, it only appeared like a poor excuse to Maurice.

“I’ve looked into this thoroughly, and I knew we could have refused Cheryl’s case. Besides, we’ve already designed a pierce of perfect jewelry for Nicole who is also famous actress, so Moran Group didn’t need Cheryl’s case at all. Miss Stone, do I really need to remind you of these things considering you are the head of the Design Department of Moran Group? Or did you do this on purpose?”

Maurice probed as he gave Harriet a piercing look.

“Of course not! Please, believe me, Mr. Moran. I have high respect for Eliana, and I consider her a friend. I would never do such a thing to her!” Harriet defensively explained before bursting into tears. Her voice trembled as if she had been significantly mistreated.

Maurice’s ears, on the contrary, tingled upon hearing Harriet’s stifled cry. If there was one thing he hated more than anything else, it was watching a woman cry in front of him.

Even though the suspicion in his heart remained the same, he could no longer put up with her exaggerated pretense. All he wanted to do now was stop her from crying.
