Chapter 230
“What are you doing?” The hand and voice belonged to Eli.
Eliana was so frightened that she withdrew her hand immediately and took two steps back.
“It seems that my new stylist is not just a fan, but a thief as well!”
Eli glared at Eliana. If he hadn’t gone back to the lounge to rest halfway through the shoot, his treasure would have been stolen by this hateful woman!
Eliana didn’t know what to say to defend herself.
Inger returned to the lounge, having finished her phone call.
She opened the door to find a furious Eli and an embarrassed Eliana.
Eli looked grim as he demanded, “Inger, didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on my ring? Just now, this woman almost stole it.”
“I wasn’t going to steal it!”
“I saw you!” Eli shouted, and gritted his teeth.
“I really wasn’t…” Eliana wanted to explain, but she couldn’t.
“How dare you keep trying to defend yourself? What a liar you are!” Eli roared.
“Enough!” Inger’s face darkened. She rubbed her temples. “Eli, you go back to the shoot first. I’ll handle this.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“But…”
“Go back!”
Gritting his teeth, Eli glared at Eliana and slammed the door behind him.
“I’m sorry, Miss Pierce.”
Inger sighed. “Eli has a volatile temper. When he was a trainee, the others ignored and bullied him. He didn’t have any friends,” she explained patiently. “A few months ago, he came across Lucky and then got this ring. It was then that his auditions started to be successful. He treats the ring as a treasure that no one else can touch.”
So that was the story…
Eliana’s spirits sank. If Eli treasured the ring so much, it would be even more difficult to take it back.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office…
“How is she?” Maurice raised his head from a pile of documents.
“Eliana… asked those assistants to go back. She said…” Corbin paused.
“What did she say?”
“She said… she wanted those assistants to do what they were supposed to do. She would handle her work well.”
Determined, Corbin related Eliana’s words to Maurice.
Maurice’s grip on the paper in his hand tightened. He lowered his eyes and put on an indifferent expression.
“If she doesn’t want them to stay, then respect her wishes.”
“Yes, sir.”
Corbin lowered his head. He left the office and sighed.
He was worried about the relationship between Maurice and Eliana. Still, he had to remember that it was not his business!
That evening, Eli had finally finished the first of three days of shooting for the advertisement.
The thought of having to be around Eliana for two more days made him irritable.
Eli’s assistant came over to help him take off the precious diamond bracelet around his wrist.
“I can do it myself.” Eli pulled his wrist away rudely.
“Be careful. This bracelet is fragile. The Moran Group specially told us to be gentle with it.”
The assistant’s heart skipped a beat as he saw Eli behaved so roughly.
The bracelet was fragile…
Looking at the bracelet in his hand, Eli suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
He withdrew his hand. “I’ll take if off myself,” he said to the assistant. “You can go do something else.”
The assistant had no choice but to agree. “Be careful,” he couldn’t help but remind Eli again.
“Don’t worry.”
Eli waved his hand to drive his assistant away, like he was swatting at an annoying fly.
He took off the bracelet, put it in his pocket, and rubbed it violently for a while.
When he took it out again, there were obvious cracks on the bracelet.
With the nearly-broken bracelet in hand, Eli walked up to Eliana.
She was beside the swimming pool where the advertisement had been shot, carefully packing up the precious jewelry the Moran Group had provided.
“Eliana, you forgot the diamond bracelet I wore. Here you are.”
Eli smiled brightly and held out the bracelet to Eliana.
What was going through his head?
Eliana gave Eli a confused look.
She looked at the bracelet in his hand. She didn’t notice anything wrong with it.
Had Eli really changed his attitude?
Eliana stretched out her hand.
Suddenly, Eli’s hand shook and the bracelet fell into the swimming pool.
Crystal clear diamonds scattered in the water.
