The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 205

The pink diamond necklace that Eliana designed was displayed at the centermost position behind the shop window. With distinctive asymmetrical design and inlaid with a 12-carat Argyle pink diamond, anyone who looked it could not deny it was a stunning piece of art. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if it were to be placed in a window full of luxurious jewelry, it would still be the first thing to steal people’s attention. No other pieces could compare.

Bright sunbeams fell on the jewelry, reflecting vivid light that made it all the more beautiful. Meanwhile, the shop window reflected Eliana’s look of surprise and Maurice’s uncharacteristically tender gaze.

Eliana’s sole focus was on her work, while Maurice had no one else but her in his eyes.

But Eliana didn’t notice his burning stare. At this precise moment, she was too busy immersed in great joy.

For designers to have their work put on display in the centermost part of the shop window in the brand’s largest store, it could only mean one thing. The company had recognized their merit and approved them, so much that their work was publicized for many others to see.

Ever since Eliana decided to be a jewelry designer, she often fantasized earning this privilege. Her craftsmanship for all the world to see! Yet, never in her wildest dreams did she imagine her fantasy would become a reality so soon.

However… It was Maurice who contributed for her dream to come true.

With this in mind, Eliana found herself looking at Maurice with a complicated look. She wasn’t sure what to think.

Maurice responded to her gaze with a calm expression, looking no different than the usual. He was just as aloof as ever, acting as if what he had done was nothing beyond the extraordinary.

Suddenly, Eliana found Maurice to be a hundred times more handsome. As soon as she realized it, her heart fluttered.

“So, Eliana. Are you willing to work for Moran Group again?” Maurice asked in a low baritone.

Eliana turned her attention back on the pink diamond necklace in the shop window. She was hesitant.

“Umm, let’s go inside and have a look.”

In the end, Eliana chose to avoid the issue for the time being. She didn’t want to think about it yet.

The two then entered the jewelry store together.

At the same time, two young girls entered as well. One of them, pretty and sweet-faced, made a beeline for the counter and asked excitedly, “Excuse me, the pink diamond necklace in the window is gorgeous! I like it very much, but there’s no price tag on it. Is it on sale?”

The salesman flashed the girl an apologetic look. “I’m so sorry, Miss. Unfortunately, the pink diamond necklace is not for sale. It’s just there for display.”

“Oh, is that so? Can’t you make an exception for me?” The girl sounded rather disappointed, but didn’t give up.

“That’s not possible, I’m afraid.” The salesman refused again, putting on a helpless look.

“Oh, well… May I meet the designer of the necklace? I’d love to have her design an exclusive necklace for me!” the girl suggested, her eyes shining.

“I’m sorry, Miss. Sadly, the designer has left Moran Group.”

“Ah, what a pity! It can’t be helped. Then, may I have a closer look at that necklace?”

The girl appeared rather down. As she made her request, she gave the salesman a pitiful puppy pout.

The salesman didn’t turn her down. He took out the necklace from the display and placed it in front of the girl for her to admire.

The girl’s eyes lit up as she admired the beautiful necklace. Next to it was a small sign that told the necklace’s basic information. She took a glimpse of the designer’s name.

“Eliana Pierce…” she mouthed the name silently and memorized it.

Her friend suddenly gave her a reminder. “Hey, it’s time for us to go.”

The sweet girl gave a final look at the pink diamond necklace before trudging after her friend out of the jewelry store with great reluctance.

Eliana, having witnessed the scene in its entirety, swelled with pride. She was deeply moved.

“As you can see, your design has gained a lot of positive attention. Many people love it. Return to Moran Group as our jewelry designer. Making more designs and improving your craft is the surest way to prove yourself,” Maurice said, trying to persuade her once more.

Eliana would be lying to herself if she said she wasn’t a little tempted.

As soon as she entertained that thought, however, her experiences in Moran Group flooded her mind. During the entire time she was there, she was forced to endure a lot of difficulties, not to mention petty drama. She would only be digging her own grave if she went back to work for Maurice. Days of endless trouble would plague her, as they had once.

She dreaded such a bleak future. Worried for her own well-being, she rejected him firmly.

“No, forget it. I’ll continue my career elsewhere, but I don’t want to go back to Moran Group anymore.” Eliana shook her head, giving Maurice an undeniable refusal. She could not be dissuaded to change her mind.

Maurice frowned, silent rage boiling inside him. After all, he wasn’t the kind of man who would repeatedly ask her to work for him.

“Maurice, thanks very much for saving me today and taking me here. Now, I know my efforts were not in vain. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

Eliana expressed her sincerest thanks before walking away. She hailed a taxi and left immediately after.

Afterwards, Maurice took out his phone and dialed Corbin. His face was thunderous.

“Corbin, your method didn’t work at all. I’m docking your salary.”
