Eliana was completely stunned. She watched, dumbfounded, as the unscrupulous boss and subordinate duo Maurice and Theo, left her all alone without a single care in the world.

“Maurice, you bastard!”

She deeply regretted being moved by him, of all things.

Furious, she picked up the music box and stormed out of the auction house in angry steps.

Unfortunately, the fact that the hotel was in the suburbs made it hard for her to hail a cab. It took her an absurdly long time to find herself a ride. By the time she got home, her anger had reached its boiling point and she exploded.

“You know what, Nana? That jerk Maurice isn’t normal. Do you have any idea how abnormal he is?! He drives me up the wall! Anyway, I can’t stay in the Moran Group anymore. I’m at my limit. Let anyone who wants to work there do it instead. I’ve had enough!”

Eliana shook off her high heels, exhausted, and threw herself on the sofa as she voiced her complaints to Nana.

At the moment, all she could think about was Corbin. She couldn’t shake him off her mind no matter what she did.
