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.
