Chapter 185
“You are the Moonlight’s owner?” Eliana couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Are you surprised?” Wyatt asked, raising his brows.
Eliana was rendered speechless. Why was she always running into people related to Maurice?
After all, Wyatt was a close friend of Maurice’s. Now that she had fallen out with Maurice, Wyatt would definitely not let her work in his restaurant.
It seemed that she was going to lose her new job.
“Well, I’m sorry for bothering you. Goodbye.”
Eliana had intended to leave first before Wyatt fired her.
“Wait!”
Eliana stopped in her tracks.
Wyatt approached Eliana and stopped her. “I haven’t asked you yet about what’s going on. Why did you apply for a waitress job?”
Eliana rolled her eyes discreetly.
“I resigned, and I haven’t found a suitable job yet.”
It was entirely his good friend’s fault that she had ended up this way.
Wyatt was taken aback. He thought about it for a while before realizing something.
Certainly, Maurice and Eliana had a fight.
He knew Maurice very well. Maurice was a cunning man. Eliana should have no trouble finding work based on her qualifications and experience. Maurice had surely tampered with the matter.
Wyatt pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
“I suppose you’ll have to look for another job, right?”
Eliana sighed. “Yes. I can’t make a living with just one job.”
She had two children, which was the main reason. Eliana got stressful thinking about the exorbitant cost of raising two children.
“How about this?” Wyatt said, patting Eliana on the shoulder. “You can stay in the restaurant and work for me. As for the salary, are you okay with thirty thousand dollars per month? In that case, you won’t have to look for another job.”
Why was he giving her such an attractive offer?
Eliana always believed that if a pie fell from the sky, something was wrong.
“Mr. Todd, don’t you think it’s too high for an ordinary waitress to get a monthly salary of thirty thousand dollars?” she asked, staring at Wyatt suspiciously.
“You are not an ordinary waitress. We really hit it off,” Wyatt teased. “Besides, you’re very beautiful. I’ll take a few photos of you for my restaurant’s publicity in order to attract more customers. I’ll recoup my investment by then.”
For a brief moment, Eliana was engrossed by Wyatt’s mischievous smile.
He looked very familiar to her now.
He looked exactly like Preston, who was acting strange that night!
Eliana kept staring at Wyatt, making him feel creeped out. His heart was instantly filled with dread.
Did she discover anything?
It wasn’t until then that Wyatt remembered that Maurice had warned him that this woman was very smart and that if she found any flaw, she would connect all the clues to find out the truth.
Wyatt felt compelled to do something to divert Eliana’s attention.
“Do you think I offer you too much money? What if I cut it down?” he asked.
As expected, he immediately got Eliana’s attention at the mention of money.
“No! I think the salary is just right. I’ll start working tomorrow.”
Of course, no employee would object to a high salary. Besides, she still owed Maurice money.
“Thank you, Wyatt.”
Despite the fact that she had no idea what he was up to, she was still grateful to him for giving her a job.
“You don’t have to thank me. If you don’t mind, please stand at the door and let me take two photos to be used for this restaurant’s publicity.”
Of course, Eliana would not refuse such a simple request.
Wyatt took out his phone and snapped a few photos of Eliana. He then sent them to Maurice, with a message which read, “Your Eliana is in my place. Don’t worry. I will take good care of her for you.”
Wyatt waited for the big fish to take the bait.
Meanwhile, Maurice was reprimanding his subordinates when his phone suddenly buzzed.
He casually clicked on the message and saw photos of Eliana standing at the door of Wyatt’s restaurant with a big smile on her face and Wyatt’s provocative message. Maurice got irritated in an instant.
“Wyatt!”
