Chapter 380
As Kelvin heard Rosamond’s praise for Corbin, his mind went to dark places.
Rosamond had been focusing on her career since she got divorced. She hadn’t been with any man since her marriage failed, and Kelvin had never heard of any rumor about any changes in her relationship status.
But why was she commending Maurice’s assistant now?
Did she have feelings for Corbin?
Kelvin thought he had seen through something and chose to “do Rosamond a favor”.
“Mr. Moran, since Miss Deleon likes your assistant so much, maybe you should give him to her as a gift.”
As soon as Kelvin’s words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed.
Maurice’s face darkened while Corbin’s face turned livid. Maurice slowly put down his knife. Harriet, on the other hand, prayed for the floor to split open so that she could hurl herself into the crack.
Rosamond was furious. She had been in the business world for many years and had met a lot of people. She thought that no matter what happened, she could remain calm.
But right now, she felt sick at Kelvin’s words, and she refused to take them sitting down.
Rosamond didn’t tolerate anyone who insulted her.
Without saying a word, she picked up one of the glasses of red wine on the table and splashed its contents on Kelvin and Harriet.
Kelvin’s clothes were instantly drenched in red wine. He was stunned for a moment and then flew into a rage.
“Rosamond Deleon, what the hell is wrong with you?”
“I was just trying to make this place a bit cleaner by washing away disgusting things. What’s wrong with that?” Rosamond sneered with disdain and harshness in her eyes.
“You…”
Upon hearing her calling him a “disgusting thing”, Kelvin’s face turned bright red with fury.
Rosamond was a powerful and domineering woman.
After weighing the pros and cons, Kelvin chose to back down, but he still couldn’t calm himself.
“Mr. Moran, my niece and I are here as your guests. Aren’t you going to do something about this?”
He wanted Maurice to avenge him.
However, Maurice didn’t seem to care at all. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.
“Well, this was a bummer. I’m going to call it a night. Excuse me, Miss Deleon.”
Maurice stood up and left.
Seeing that Corbin was still standing there, Maurice snapped, “Haven’t you had enough fun here? Are you going to stay?”
“No, sir.” As if waking up from a dream, Corbin immediately snapped back to his senses and followed Maurice.
The moment they were out of the restaurant, Maurice suddenly stopped and said to Corbin, “You can leave now. Get some rest.”
“Okay. Thank you, sir.” Then, Corbin turned to leave.
But Maurice suddenly grabbed his shoulder and looked at him with seriousness. “You are my assistant. You are not a servant to anyone. Do you understand?”
“Sir… Are you trying to protect me?”
All of a sudden, Corbin felt a little moved. Although Maurice had always been tough on him, he was still a nice boss.
Maurice got goose bumps when he saw the moved look on Corbin’s face. He immediately withdrew his hand and muttered, “Try and use your brain to think next time when something like that happens, will you?”
Sure enough… Maurice’s sharp tongue was still there after all.
Hearing his words, Corbin was much less moved.
Suddenly, someone anxiously cried from behind them. It was Harriet.
“Mr. Moran, wait!”
Panting, she rushed over with red wine stains on her clothes.
Trying to catch her breath, she explained, “Mr. Moran, I’m really sorry about tonight. That’s how my uncle is. And no matter what, he’s an elder…”
“I’m going to stop you right there,” Maurice interrupted her. “That’s how your uncle is? Well, this is how I am. I don’t suffer people who disrespect others.”
After saying that, Maurice turned around and left without looking back.
Damn it!
Harriet was agitated. She said the wrong words again!
“Mr. Moran!”
This time, no matter how loudly she shouted after him, Maurice didn’t stop. He just kept walking and walking.
