“What are you waiting for? Come and pour me some wine,” Maurice ordered gruffly, glaring at the
masked woman who was in a daze. A cunning light flashed across his eyes.
“Yes, okay.”
Even though Eliana was reluctant, she had no choice but to play along in order to keep her identity a
secret.
She picked up the wine bottle with one hand and, subconsciously, the wine decanter with the other,
since that was how Maurice liked to be served his wine.
While pouring the wine into the decanter, Eliana raised her head only to be met with the sight of
Maurice holding Jennifer in his arms and lowering his head, as if he was going to kiss her.
He was going too far!
Blinded by rage, Eliana swung the decanter forward towards Maurice, spilling red wine all over his
clothes.
The moment she regained her senses, however, she knew that she was doomed.
It was too late to regret her recklessness now.
Letting go off Jennifer, Maurice slowly looked down at his wine-stained clothes. His face was calm, but
it was clear to see from the coldness in his eyes that he was seething on the inside. Somehow, his
silence almost scared Eliana to death.
Jennifer was also frightened, so much so that tears welled up in her eyes.
“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” Eliana said in a hurry, picking up the napkin on the table and trying to dab
Maurice’s shirt with it. “Let me clean it up.”
But Maurice took a step back and waved his hand. “Don’t touch me.”
Eliana swallowed hard and lowered her head, wishing that she could bury herself in a hole.
Maurice stared coldly at her. He wanted nothing more than to rip the mask off her face and teach her a
good lesson.
The truth was, he had recognized her as soon as he had caught a glimpse of her from outside Kelvin’s
private room. What was the use of her wearing a mask? He was still able to recognize her.
He couldn’t believe that she actually thought she could hide from him. In order to provoke her into
revealing her identity, he deliberately made a move on Jennifer.
But to his dismay, Eliana insisted on putting on an act till the very end.
Disappointed with her reaction, he snapped, “Get out of here!”
He was afraid that if he looked at Eliana’s face for even a second longer, he would drag her home and
lock her up there.
Eliana set down the wine bottle shakily and glanced at Jennifer, whose face was as white as a sheet.
“What about her?”
“Get out with her!” Maurice scoffed in disbelief.
With his permission, Eliana immediately grasped Jennifer’s hand and bolted out of the room.
Maurice was left alone in the room, with a gloomy look on his face.
Outside the door, Corbin watched in confusion as the two women sprinted away, as if they were
running for their lives.
What was going on?
Corbin walked in and saw that his boss had taken off his coat and begun to drink alone. Strangely
enough, his clothes were stained with wine.
“Mr. Moran, what happened just now?”
Maurice raised his glass and gave him a humorless gaze. “You didn’t recognize her?”
Corbin exhaled a sigh.
“I did,” he admitted.
Even if Corbin didn’t recognize her on his own, he would have put two and two together after seeing his
boss like this.
The only woman who could bring out such a reaction from Maurice was Eliana.
As soon as Corbin had realized that the masked woman must be Eliana, he had done a little
investigation and found something interesting.
“Mr. Moran, it seems that Eliana came here with a group of men and some contracts. She must have
come to the Imperial Golden Club for a social engagement.”
With a loud bang, Maurice smashed the glass in his hand onto the table.
Was Eliana’s idea of socializing to take some men to drink in the Imperial Golden Club?
Had that woman gone to such lengths to escape from him only to live a damned life like this?
Maurice’s face darkened.
Meanwhile, it was only after getting away from the private room that Eliana and Jennifer slowed to a
stop and caught their breaths.
“Well, it’s all right now.”
Eliana patted her chest, as if she was reassuring herself.
What an awful day! Why did she have to face problem after problem?
Jennifer, on the other hand, was deeply touched. “Thank you for helping me just now, Eliana.”
“Oh no. In fact, I should be saying sorry to you,” Eliana said, waving her hands.
Somehow, she felt that Maurice’s ill treatment of Jennifer had something to do with her.
But Jennifer refused to let Eliana take the blame. “No! If it weren’t for you, something might have
happened to me. But…”
She paused for a moment, with a hesitant expression on her face.
“What is it?” Eliana asked.
Pursing her lips, Jennifer replied, “There’s something off about Mr. Moran today, Eliana. I don’t think he
is a bad guy or a playboy. What happened between you and him? Weren’t you dating each other? Did
something bad happen?”
