The elevator descended steadily.

Outside, Eliana stood still, looking at her reflection on the shiny silver elevator door. She grimaced as she saw how she looked—as pale as a ghost.

She let out a long sigh and looked away to hide her feeling of emptiness.

“Are you okay?” Lucia said tentatively as she looked intently at Eliana. “Look, it doesn’t matter. There will always be another way.”

Lucia felt sorry for Eliana as she had witnessed the argument between her and Maurice.

Wasn’t Mr. Moran a good friend of Wyatt who was Lucia’s cousin? So how could he be testy and irritable?

He left even before Eliana could finish her words. How dare he bully others in this way?

So, in Lucia’s mind, Maurice’s image hit rock bottom.

Inside the elevator, Maurice didn’t look good either. He was staring at Corbin. His expression was unreadable.

“Why did the elevator suddenly go down?”

Corbin furrowed his eyebrows. He was also clueless about it. So he looked at the floor buttons on the elevator operating panel. He then noticed that he had pressed the wrong button!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Moran,” Corbin mumbled. His face was red in embarrassment. “It was my fault. I intend to push the open button on this floor, but somehow, I jabbed the wrong one. Before I knew it, the elevator started going down…”
