The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 49

Chapter 49 You Took Advantage Of Me

Eliana was sound asleep on her bed after lunch.

All of a sudden, her phone rang, waking her up.She fumbled for the phone with her eyes closed before she lazily answered, "Hello?"

"It’s Corbin,"

Although Eliana was surprised to hear from him, she emphasized in a kind voice, "Corbin, I have resigned."

She had already left her job at the Moran Group, so was there even a need for him to call her now? Hearing her words, Corbin couldn’t help but complain in his heart, ‘What a heartless woman! It’s no wonder that she is able to conquer my cold-hearted boss!’

Thinking of that, Corbin forced himself to stay calm as he reminded her, "Of course, I remember that! But Mr.Moran has asked me to settle accounts with you."

What kind of account was he even talking about? Eliana sensed something fishy at the mention of money.She immediately jumped up from her bed.

Corbin continued, "Miss Pierce, the reward for you accompanying Mr.Moran to the dinner party was originally one million dollars, and it was later doubled to two million dollars, right?"

"Is there a problem with that?" Eliana asked in reply, frowning.

Corbin cleared his throat.

"Well, the dress you wore at the dinner party…"

Eliana’s heart rose to her throat.

Did they really find out that the dress was torn? But she tried her best to repair it to its original condition…

"Well… There is nothing wrong with the dress." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Hearing that, Eliana breathed a sigh of relief.

"But do you remember the matching brooch that Mr.Moran pinned on the dress?"

Those words made her feel like a bolt of lightning had struck her.She suddenly remembered that things had been so chaotic that night that she had completely forgotten about the brooch.

"Mr.Moran lent you the brooch, and now, it is missing.It is worth three million dollars.After your two million dollars’ reward is deducted, you are in a debt of one million dollars, Miss Pierce."

Eliana was shocked and could not help but scoff in disbelief.She couldn’t accept it at all.

Apparently, she had worked so hard for nothing.

And now Corbin was telling her that she owed Maurice money? Eliana was in a daze.

Before she could even think properly, Corbin urged, "Mr.Moran knows about your financial situation, so he has kindly provided you with two solutions.You can choose either of the two options.Your first option is to come back to the company and work with us till your debt is settled, and your second option is to face us in court.The Legal Department of the Moran Group will contact you."

Eliana was rendered speechless.

How could he say that Maurice kindly provided her with two solutions? There were two roads in front of her, and both were dead ends.

That day, she had felt that Maurice had agreed to her resignation too easily.

Now, she realized that he had only agreed to it because he already had a backup plan.

After hearing about it, she was not feeling sleepy anymore.She got out of bed and rushed to the Moran Group.

Corbin was waiting at the entrance as he greeted her warmly.

"Welcome…"

"Shut up!"

Gritting her teeth, she glared at him.

Corbin felt that she was as overbearing as Maurice.

Sulking, he shut up.He was only following Maurice’s orders, so why did people always give him the cold shoulder? Eliana stormed into the CEO’s office.

And without Corbin, the other assistants couldn’t stop her at all.

One of them just followed her into the CEO’s office.

Maurice, who was busy with work, looked up.

"I’m sorry, Mr.Moran.I was really unable to stop…" the assistant explained in fear.

"Go back to your work."

After she left, Eliana walked up to his desk with her head held high, her eyes gleaming with fire.

"Mr.Moran, I can stay in the Moran Group.But I refuse to accept any task that is not related to my job.I’m a designer, and not a logistics staff."

She was determined to not let him ask her to pick up golf b***s, clean his office, or buy someone coffee.

Strangely, her firmness fascinated him, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.

Maurice suppressed his inexplicable desire as he stood up with his hands on his desk.

Eliana took a stepped back subconsciously.

However, he didn’t walk to her at all.He pointed at the documents on the left side of the desk and said, "These are the projects that are left behind by Gabrielle.I want you to deal with them."

Hearing that, she looked at him in surprise.She found his sudden easy-going attitude to be strange.

Was he treating her differently now because they slept together once? Maurice looked at her and noticed her flushed face, What was she thinking about? He stared deep into her eyes and said in a low, seductive voice, "Eliana, you should know clearly that you owe me more than one million dollars, right?"

Eliana’s eyes were wide open in shock as she asked, "What else?"

"You were the one who was drugged that day and took advantage of me, If I wanted to settle accounts with you over that, then you will be owing me more than just a few million dollars.Could you be… Expecting to sleep with me without paying me?"

Maurice raised his eyebrows at her.

Not knowing what to say, Eliana was stunned.

‘What a narcissistic man! How could a man like him become the CEO of the Moran Group?’ It was really an eye-opener.

Taking a deep breath, she angrily picked up the documents and left without even looking at Maurice.
