Chapter 38 The Coming Kiss

Maurice’s sharp eyes were filled with coldness, but the very tip of his eyes curved up slightly, looking tempting.

Whenever he smiled from the comers of his lips, his thin lips appeared so alluring, making women want to kiss him.

However, no one ever dared to approach him because of how cold he was.But Eliana had to kiss him now in order to finish her act.

Anxiety grew in her heart as she saw Evelynn standing still while she moved her lips closer to Maurice’s.

And Maurice seemed to be really cool about her kissing him.

Eliana could not drag it on for any longer.

She glanced at Evelynn shyly and asked, "Miss Jarvis, why are you still standing here? Are you going to watch us kiss?"

Evelynn looked at Maurice and asked sadly, "Maurice, is she telling the truth? Do you really…"

Maurice looked at her and frowned, his sharp gaze indicating that she was disturbing their kiss.

Evelynn was shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes.She wanted to pretend like she was pitiful, but Eliana seemed to be better at it than she was.

Eliana frowned, her eyes wet with tears as she pleaded, "Miss Jarvis, please don’t make things difficult for Maurice."

She then turned to him with an affectionate look and continued, "He is not saying anything now because of how close your families are.Sooner or later, he will announce that the woman he loves is… is…"

Eliana suddenly felt words stuck in her throat.She could not continue to act any longer and wanted to retreat.

"Eliana."

Maurice’s magnetic voice instantly rendered her brain numb.She was stunned for a moment before she looked at Maurice whose eyes’ were full of banter.

"Well done."

Subconsciously, Eliana looked to the other side and found that Evelynn had left in a fit of pique.She maintained a straight posture, looking dignified.

However, the big blow had caused her to be in a hurry.

Eliana breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.But Maurice continued to hold her waist.

She reminded him, "Mr.Moran, you can let go of me now."

Maurice looked at her with his deep eyes, which made her feel like she could drown in them.

"Since you’ve started, why don’t you keep up the act till the end?"

"No, no…"

Eliana shook off his hand, blushing.

"I… I’ll find something to eat."

Saying that, she ran away.

The banquet hall of Boyo Hotel was huge, and there was a table full of delicious desserts. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

While Eliana was enjoying the desserts, someone suddenly handed her a piece of tiramisu.

"This is the hotel’s specialty.Have a try," Wyatt explained with a smile.

Eliana immediately recognized him as the man Maurice had played golf with that day.

Wyatt was dressed in a neat suit and a tie, which made him look dashing and composed.His handsome faint smile made him look like a lazy, spoiled man from a rich family.

"Hello."

Eliana greeted him politely, but she didn’t take the tiramisu.

Wyatt didn’t mind that at all.His eyes lit up as he looked at her admiringly.

"You look gorgeous today."

"Thank you." Eliana smiled.

"I had to dress up in order to act for Mr.Moran."

Wyatt turned away and said, "It seems that your boss is very busy.If I were him, I would ignore my work and pay attention to you…"

Eliana looked in the direction of his gaze.

Maurice was standing straight and talking to a middle-aged man, holding a goblet in his hand.

The middle-aged man stooped, flattering Maurice so openly.

All of a sudden, the man turned around, and Eliana recognized him immediately.

‘Hodge Chadwick?’

Eliana wanted to step forward, but stopped.

Hodge used to be her father’s right-hand man.

Could he know about the inside information from back then?

"Hodge used to be an important figure in Pierce Group back then.I heard that Lemuel, the CEO of Pierce Group, valued him a lot.Look at him flattering your boss like an obedient dog!" Wyatt said sarcastically.

Eliana’s heart sank, but she pretended to be calm and replied, "A single pillar is not enough to support a collapsing building.I guess he didn’t have a choice."

"Indeed.Pierce Group had some illegal operations in the assets merger, which gave the Moran Group a good opportunity to take over Pierce Group.But Lemuel was pitiful.He didn’t have to die, but he was just so disobedient…"

Wyatt said in a regretful tone.

Shocked, Eliana almost lost her balance.Had Hodge and Maurice worked together to destroy the Pierce Group? Had they forced her father to die? Feeling a sudden chill, she began to tremble.

After talking to Maurice for a while, Hodge nodded, bowed, and turned around, walking to the door.

With her eyes fixed on him, Eliana took a difficult step forward.She must ask Hodge what had happened all those years ago.

However, Wyatt stopped her and asked in confusion, "What’s the matter with you? You don’t look too good."

"Let go."

Without any hesitation, Eliana pushed him away and strode purposefully towards Hodge.

However, Hodge had already left the banquet hall by then.

Lifting up her dress, she rushed out of the hall.She saw many people entering and exiting, but she could not find Hodge at all.
