Eliana’s thoughts suddenly went blank, and she unconsciously pushed Eli aside.

She turned around to see Maurice, who was looking downcast.

“The timing of my arrival seems to be out of whack.”

Maurice scowled as he struggled to hold back the rising rage that was welling up inside him. His words had wry cynicism to them.

“There’s more to it than what you see…” Eliana felt compelled to clarify.

Without giving her the opportunity to explain, Maurice turned and walked away.

Eli felt it was insufficient, so he added, “Mr. Moran, goodbye.”

“Eli, you were deliberate in your actions. In addition, you simply lied to me.”

Eliana scowled at Eli with her eyes wide open as she raised her head. She hoped she could savage him with her teeth.

Eli quickly surrendered by raising his hands. “Let go of your resentment. To be honest, I’d want to know more about you and Maurice’s connection.”

“What conclusion have you gotten to?” Eliana scoffed.

“I’ve finally figured it out. The CEO of the Moran Group seems to have a one-sided crush on you.”

Knowing that Maurice’s affection for Eliana was unrequited, Eli felt a tinge of excitement.

“Shut up already.”
