Chapter 104 The Unfinished Kiss
Only when Maurice got closer to Eliana was he able to notice the red mark of a hand on her right cheek.His heart clenched, and he lifted his hand to hold her chin.
"What happened?"
There was darkness and anger filled in his eyes, making it look like he could destroy the world.
Eliana awkwardly retreated to avoid his touch.
At the same time, Bradly thought that Maurice was asking her about the leak of the design.So he explained, "The leak of the design is still under investigation."
Maurice interrupted him and asked, "Who slapped Eliana?"
His affection and feelings towards her made him want to throw his identity away.
Bradly's heart sank when he heard those words, but he answered honestly, "Nicole."
Maurice sneered, "There were so many of you in the office.How could you watch her get slapped?"
Eliana lowered her head embarrassedly, and her hair slipped from behind her ears, covering her swollen cheek.
Why did Maurice have to come and see her in such a state?
"Eliana, look at me." She heard his low and clear voice.
Clenching her fists, she looked up, and met his deep, dark eyes.
"You were not the one that leaked the design, so why were you hanging your head?"
"But Nicole believes that I was the one that did it," Eliana replied with a sigh.
Maurice looked at Bradly and said, "Eliana looks terrible, and she can't go anywhere.You go and pacify Nicole first."
"If he goes to her now, then she would vent all her anger on him,"
Eliana blurted out.She did not want to cause Bradly trouble because of her again.
Maurice's expression darkened at once, and he resolutely dragged her away.Bradly tried to go after them, but Corbin stopped him.
"Get out of my way," he said to Corbin in an annoyed tone.
Corbin reminded him in a gentle voice, "Mr.Stewart, you should calm down and think about it.Who do you think has the power to help Eliana now?"
Upon hearing that, Bradly stopped and clenched his fists as he watched Eliana's receding back.It was true that he could not really help her now.
Meanwhile, Maurice took Eliana to his office.
Sitting down on the sofa, she blankly stared at the man in front of her, who was opening the first aid kit.
Was Maurice really going to apply the medicine for her? Just when she was in a daze, Maurice sat down next to her with an ointment and a cotton swab in his hand.
His weight caused the sofa to sink a little and Eliana's body was made to lean to him involuntarily.
Maurice raised his eyebrows at her.He had rarely seen her being so obedient with him.
Her cheek was clearly swollen and red, which made Maurice pity her at once.
He bent over and applied ointment on Eliana’s wound clumsily.
And she felt his domineering aura.
The next second, her ears turned red.
All the memories that were hidden deep in her mind came flooding to her at once.
They had been so close when they had been about to kiss on the Street that night.
Eliana could almost see her reflection in his dark eyes.
Unfortunately, they had not really finished that kiss...
‘Wait, what am I thinking?’ All of a sudden, Eliana came back to her senses, her heart still racing. novelbin
Maurice saw that she was still lost in thought after he applied the ointment for her.
Looking into her eyes, he asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
