Chapter 379
Since the accident on the racetrack, Maurice had been worried about Eliana’s physical state.
Although Eliana managed to calm the horse down, it still had run around wildly, and it might have inflicted internal injuries on her. Considering this, Maurice elected to call a doctor over.
After a series of careful examination, the doctor told Eliana, “You’re doing okay, Miss Pierce, but you should get a good sleep tonight.”
Hearing the doctor’s diagnosis, Eliana breathed a sigh of relief.
“You should go back to your room and relax then,” Harriet said with concern in her eyes. “It was all my uncle’s fault. I would like to apologize to you on his behalf.”
Harriet’s words grossed Eliana out. Eliana really found it difficult to appreciate the concern from Harriet.
She felt that every word that came out of her mouth masked an ulterior motive.
“What a pity. Mr. Moran has prepared a fancy dinner tonight. You’re going to have to miss it.”
Hearing the words “fancy dinner”, Eliana raised her head, her eyes lighting up in an instant.
After what happened in the racetrack, Eliana was hungry. She started, “Uh… Can you ask the waiter to send some food to my room?”
Amused by Eliana’s request, Maurice couldn’t help chuckling.
“You’ve just been through an accident, and all you can think about is food? It seems you are really fine.”
Hearing Maurice’s chortle, Eliana rolled her eyes and replied, “Well, I’m starving, and I need to eat. I didn’t ask you to bring me the food yourself.”
However, it occurred to her that he paid for the food. After all, the Moran Group owned the Moon Lake Manor.
Maurice smiled dotingly and replied, “Well, I didn’t say that you couldn’t eat either.”
The two of them chatted as if no one else was around, which pissed Harriet off. She cleared her throat loudly and interrupted them, “In that case, I’ll ask someone to send some food to your room. Is that okay?”
“That will be great. Thank you.”
Eliana was satisfied now.
Night soon fell, and as the owner of the manor, Maurice held a banquet at the restaurant to which he invited Kelvin and Harriet. Corbin was serving them some wine.
“Thank you, Mr. Jenkins. Will you please remove the salmon?”
Although Kelvin spoke in a polite tone, he still treated Corbin as if he was a servant.
In order not to ruin the cooperation between the Stone family and the Moran family, Corbin decided to keep quiet, grit his teeth, and control his temper while Kelvin bossed him around.
Maurice sipped his red wine slowly. He seemed calm, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Noticing that he was getting angrier and angrier, Harriet became nervous.
She leaned in and reminded Kelvin in a low voice. “Uncle Kelvin, Mr. Jenkins is Mr. Moran’s assistant. You should be nicer to him.”
“Nicer to him? He’s merely an assistant. What does it matter? Will Maurice fall out with me because of him?” Kelvin didn’t care.
There was nothing Harriet could do now. She began getting more and more anxious.
Just then, an unexpected person appeared and interrupted their dinner.
“Mr. Moran. You’re here.”
Rosamond walked over with her assistant.
Maurice raised his head and looked at Rosamond in surprise. He bowed slightly and greeted her, “Hello, Miss Deleon. Would you like to join us for dinner?”
As soon as Corbin saw Rosamond, he trembled and almost dropped the plate in his hand.
Of course, Rosamond also noticed him. She remembered him, the man who dared to argue with her for Nana.
“Mr. Moran, your assistant looks quite familiar.”
Noticing that Rosamond was staring at him, Corbin began popping out little beads of cold sweat. He was tempted to glance at Rosamond, but he fought the urge and kept his head down.
In the morning, he didn’t feel scared when he confronted her. Seeing her now, he was terrified out of his mind.
If Rosamond told Maurice what he had done, the consequences may be catastrophic.
He couldn’t help shaking.
“Really? Have you met my assistant before, Miss Deleon?” Maurice asked in confusion while looking at Rosamond.
Corbin held his breath.
Rosamond paused on purpose and beamed, “Yes, and I do think that he’s doing a good job.”
Hearing her answer, Corbin felt relieved.
