The girl suddenly turned turn hostile towards Eliana.

Eliana was stunned, her mouth agape. “You may have misconstrued what I meant. My employer has absolutely no business with me,” she finally clarified after some time.

“I’m not convinced. Why is the boss gazing at you and smiling at you if you have nothing to do with him?” Alissa exclaimed in a furious manner as if Eliana had snatched her lover.

Eliana wasn’t sure whether she should laugh or weep. She wondered why it happened so often to her. It felt that the people around an attractive man could easily be misunderstood.

“In that case, I’m at a loss for words.” Eliana sounded dismissive of the topic.

“You!” Alissa began to feel nervous.

“Alissa, that’s enough. How could you make such a statement on Miss Pierce?” Suddenly, Jordy appeared and yelled at Alissa.

Alissa felt aggrieved and said, “Mr. Hamilton, why are you speaking on her behalf?”

Jordy gave her a frown and warned, “Keep your tongue in check. Keep that bad mouth shut about Miss Pierce.”

Alissa was a bully to the weak and a trembler to the powerful. Her spirits dropped and she walked away, disheartened, the moment Jordy yelled at her.

The relief on Eliana’s face was palpable as she thanked Jordy for his help.

“I can’t thank you enough, Mr. Hamilton.”

“Miss Pierce, it’s all good. I’ll be there for you if you ever need me. Anytime, I mean.”
