The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 229

“Replace me?” Eli couldn’t believe his ears.

The Moran Group wanted to replace a celebrity spokesperson for the sake of a stylist.

Mr. Moran must be crazy. Without Eli, who would shoot the advertisement?

“You didn’t mishear, Mr. Godwin,” Corbin said, as if he could read Eli’s mind. “You are going to be replaced. There’s no need to worry. We’ll soon have someone to take your place. The Moran Group is never without a spokesperson.”

Inger sensed that things were about to get out of control and stepped forward. “Mr. Jenkins, why are you saying this? Eli has always been dedicated and cooperative.”

She turned and glared at Eli. “Eli, don’t be childish,” she said sternly. “Let Miss Pierce do your styling so we can start shooting.”

Eli couldn’t disobey his agent. He had no choice but to suppress his anger and let Eliana do his styling.

Once everyone was busy with the shooting of the advertisement, Inger smiled and asked, “Mr. Jenkins, is this alright?”

Corbin nodded with satisfaction.

Within half an hour, all of Eli’s styling was finished.

Eliana’s aesthetic taste was impeccable. Even Eli’s long face could not negate the charm Eliana’s styling gave him.

When everything was ready, Eli began to shoot the advertisement.

Eliana walked over to Corbin to give him her thanks, but he shook his head.

“I’m never the one who truly deserves your thanks,” he said. “Eliana, can’t you see who is really aiding you from behind the scenes?”

Corbin had never seen Maurice pay so much attention to any woman in all of his many years of working for him. And yet, Eliana ignored his affection completely.

Eliana fell silent.

She knew that Maurice was pulling strings to help her, but she didn’t understand Maurice himself.

He was a mystery, a window with dark glass. She could not understand him and thus she chose to stay away from him.

“Corbin, what kind of person do you think Maurice is?” Eliana couldn’t help but ask.

“I can’t give you an objective evaluation. I can only tell you to trust your intuition. What do you think of Mr. Moran, Eliana?”

Love was subjective. Corbin couldn’t speak for Eliana.

Eliana’s mind was chaotic. Her instinct was to avoid the subject.

“Corbin, if you are here to persuade me, you don’t have to do that. I’m living a good life now. And ask those assistants to do what they should do. I will handle my work well.”

With a sigh, Corbin turned around and left.

It seemed that his boss still had a long way to go before he could win Eliana’s heart.

The day’s work was finally done. Eliana helped the other staff clean up. She put Eli’s outfit away carefully.

Then her eyes landed on something: the ring she had been looking for, which was lying beside Inger’s hand.

At that moment, Inger got a phone call and walked out of the lounge to answer it.

Eliana couldn’t take her eyes off of the ring.

No one was around. This was her chance to take the ring.

The ring belonged to Preston anyway. She just wanted to return it to its owner.

Having justified this to herself, Eliana walked over to the ring.

The simple and luxurious ruby ring reflected a beautiful luster in the light. It seemed to be begging Eliana to take it.

Eliana swallowed and reached out. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Suddenly, someone’s hand closed tightly around her own.
