Chapter 63 Two Cups Of Coffee

"What?! What do you mean ‘the puppy ate it?"

Eliana was bewildered.It was already shocking enough that the ring had been with her daughter this whole time.

And now, she was told that a dog had eaten the ring.It was just too ridiculous! Aileen’s lower lip trembled and her big, round eyes filled with tears.

"Mommy, I’m sorry…"

Eliana’s heart softened.She scooped her daughter up in her arms and wiped her tears away.

"Don’t cry.Mommy isn’t blaming you.Just tell me what happened and why you were with a puppy…"

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.

"Was it the day you were at summer camp?"

She vaguely recalled seeing a puppy in their tent when she was on a video call with the children at the time..

Aileen buried her face in Eliana’s neck and sobbed, "Yes… It was that silly dog’s fault!"

She was too sad to speak coherently.

In the end, Adrian cleared his throat and explained the whole story.

"So Aileen has always had the ring.She couldn’t part with it and took it with her when you two went to summer camp.But the puppy there accidentally swallowed the ring.After that, you took it and kept it in the kindergarten.Am I right?"

Eliana double checked.

Adrian and Aileen nodded simultaneously.

Pressing her fingers against her pounding temple, she wondered how Preston would react if she told him this.He’d probably accuse her of making up a wild story to throw him off.

Thus, she decided not to tell him for the time being.

First, she needed to get the ring and find out whether it was indeed the one Preston had been looking for.

After breakfast, Kimora took the children to school.

Nana was still asleep.

No one dared to disturb her.

So Eliana took Nana’s breakfast into the bedroom and gently set it down on the bedside table.

Then, she left for work.

In the Moran Group, Corbin followed Maurice into the elevator and respectfully started relaying his schedule for the day.

Maurice listened absentmindedly while waiting for the elevator doors to close.

All of a sudden, a familiar feminine voice called out urgently.

"Wait!"

Toting a bag in one hand and coffee in the other, Eliana scurried to the elevator hurriedly.

After saying thanks repeatedly, she looked up and found that it was only Maurice and Corbin in the elevator.

What bad luck! She immediately forced a smile and started backing out.

"I’ll just wait for the next one." Maurice raised his hand to stop her.

"No need.Just take this one."

Eliana’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.

She said slowly, "If my memory serves me right, Mr.Moran doesn’t like sharing an elevator with others, right?"

What was up with Maurice today? He once made sure she couldn’t get in the elevator, even if it meant she’d be punished for being late for work.She still hadn’t forgotten how he had fooled her.

Seeing the frown on Maurice’s face, Corbin stepped forward to block Eliana’s exit.

"Your memory doesn’t serve you right.Mr.Moran doesn’t mind such a thing."

As he spoke, he pressed the button for Eliana’s floor.

Eliana could do nothing but watch as the elevator doors slid to a close.She sighed quietly and retreated to the corner of the elevator that was farthest from Maurice.

Although Eliana was cold and distant, Maurice couldn’t help but fix his eyes on her.

Today, the woman was wearing a light colored dress and her hair was coiled up into a bun.

Her lips were slightly pink, and her cold face looked elegant and fresh. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Maurice glanced at the two cups of coffee in her hand and frowned, "Who made you run errands for them this time?"

"No one.I bought an extra cup for Bradly."

She had wanted to thank Bradly for inquiring about the Argyle pink diamonds for her.

Eliana’s voice was pleasant to hear, but her words stabbed Maurice’s heart like a knife.

She was going to give Bradly coffee? Since when did they become so close? Maurice pulled a long face, and the atmosphere in the elevator grew cold.

Unfortunately, Eliana didn’t seem to notice.

When the elevator stopped at the Design Department’s floor, she quickly scurried off, leaving Corbin alone with a glowering Maurice.

Maurice looked at the trembling Corbin and said in an indifferent tone, "Tell Eliana that I want my coffee in three minutes."

Corbin nodded speechlessly.

No one was more scheming than his boss.
