“Ah!”
Lilian was so terrified that she screamed in terror.
The coffee maker continued to release coffee. Lilian’s colleagues behind took a quick step back, and none of them dared to assist.
“Find a way!”
Lilian awkwardly held her head with her hands, trying to avoid the splashing coffee.
The chaos went on, and there was even a faint smell of burnt coffee coming from inside the coffee maker.
After just watching for a few moments, Eliana smirked as she unplugged the coffee maker.
The coffee maker finally stopped splattering. Lilian was drenched in coffee all over her body, and the brown liquid ran down her hair, giving her a disheveled appearance.
Looking at her calmly, Eliana said, “Someone was so stupid that she didn’t even know she couldn’t use a broken coffee maker. Or did she do it on purpose to gain sympathy and lure me to help her?” Eliana echoed what Lilian had just said to her.
“Eliana! You did it on purpose!”
Lilian was so angry that she was almost out of breath. She clenched her teeth and yelled very loudly. If eyes could kill, she would have killed Eliana a thousand times over.
“Do you think I’m a pushover because I didn’t lose my cool?” Eliana looked around her colleagues with an expressionless face and warned, “I warn you, you’d better not provoke me. Do you recall Gabrielle?
She was fired because she was mean to me, right? Rachel, too. Do you need me to remind you of how she ended?”
Eliana was really angry at that point.
She had previously tolerated them whenever they made things difficult for her at work. But this time, they’d gone way too far. She had nearly died. She would never have a peaceful day in the department if she didn’t teach them a lesson.
The pantry was deafeningly quiet. Everyone was taken aback by Eliana’s aura.
The employees in the Design Department had heard of those things before. Gabrielle, a former director, was fired for making things difficult for Eliana, while Rachel was taken to the police station for framing Eliana.
Everyone present was terrified now that the person involved had mentioned them in person.
“Eliana, you… Don’t be too complacent…”
Lilian was so enraged that she wanted to say something to continue mocking Eliana, but she stopped the moment she met Eliana’s deadly gaze.
Eliana walked out of the pantry with a sneer, not giving the furious Lilian or the other terrified and silent colleagues a second look.
At dusk, Cheryl gave her a reply via email. She had chosen one of the bracelet design drafts and asked Eliana to make a sample as soon as possible.
Cheryl urged Eliana to hurry, but it was about time to get off work. As a result, Eliana had to take the elevator downstairs to meet with those in charge of samples.
When Eliana arrived at the elevator door, she happened to meet Maurice and Corbin.
“Boss, Silas wants you to keep your promise. He’s going to Nana’s house today to play with the twins,” Corbin whispered to Maurice.
Maurice nodded in agreement.
Maurice had guessed that Silas simply wanted to go to Eliana’s house when he imposed this condition.
Silas didn’t have many friends. Now he finally had the twins. Besides, if he was in Eliana’s house, Maurice wouldn’t be concerned.
Corbin noticed Eliana standing nearby as soon as he finished his words. “Eliana, you’re also here!” he exclaimed.
Eliana couldn’t leave because she was caught on the spot.
Just then, the elevator came. Eliana walked closer to Maurice and followed him into the elevator. Her body was stiff.
She couldn’t stop staring at Maurice as soon as she stepped into the elevator.
His arm injury appeared to be very serious.
After all, he was hurt in order to save her. What if she expressed her concern for him?
“How is your arm, Mr. Moran?”
Eliana was staring at Maurice’s chest as she said this.
Suddenly, the elevator moved abnormally.
Eliana’s heart began to beat fast. She immediately remembered what had happened the night before. Her hair stood on end, and the fear of dying overcame her once more.
She instinctively grabbed Maurice’s clothes and closed her eyes. Her body began trembling. She felt as if she were drowning and unable to breathe.
