Our Reunion Must Be Fate
Upon hearing the man’s cold yet melodious voice, Eliana paused for a moment.Her hands flew to cover
her weirdly burning cheeks.
"Preston, I think I’ll be able to return the ring to you soon." Maurice raised his eyebrow in surprise.
"So where did you find it?"
"Uhm… Don’t ask. I’ll give it back to you anyway."
Eliana smiled awkwardly and rubbed the aching spot on her neck.She refused to tell him that she was
just waiting for a dog to p**p out the ring.
Maurice watched her from a distance and said in a low voice, "Fine."
His tone softened involuntarily.
"What are you up to now?"
"Working overtime." Maurice chuckled.
"Has your CEO been torturing you lately?"
"No.He has actually been quite kind lately."
Eliana caught a glimpse at the time and her eyes went wide.It was late already.
"I have to get back to work now."
Without waiting for a response, she was about to hang up the phone.
However, she suddenly faintly heard a familiar voice on the other end of the line.
Eliana frowned slightly.
The voice sounded like Corbin’s.She paused and asked, "Wait, who was speaking just now?"
Maurice shot Corbin a cold glare, who had just approached him.
Corbin immediately got the message and trembled slightly.His mouth snapped shut and he retreated a
few steps back.
Maurice then said into the receiver, "Who else could it be?"
"I thought I heard a familiar voice.Maybe the exhaustion’s getting to me."
Eliana closed her eyes and rubbed her aching temples.
How could she have confused Corbin’s voice for Preston’s? She was probably too tired to function
properly.
Maurice frowned.
"Then don’t procrastinate and go back home as soon as possible," he said in a deep voice.
Before Eliana could reply, the phone was hung up.
The busy tone echoed loudly in her ears.
"What a short-tempered man!" She shook her head helplessly and put down the phone.
Just then, Bradly opened the door and strode in.
Waving a take-away bag in front of her, he asked, "Are you hungry? You should eat something."
Eliana hesitated, but before she could say something, her stomach suddenly growled loudly.She looked
at Bradly with an embarrassed smile.
He chuckled knowingly and handed a burger to her.
"Here you go."
Realizing that she was starving, Eliana didn’t try to refuse.She gratefully accepted the burger.
"How’re your designs going? Can I see them?" Bradly asked, sitting down next to her.
Eliana clicked open her draft and showed it to Bradly while eating the burger.
Bradly studied her drawing carefully and then pointed out the flaws.
"That’s all.Only a few changes need to be made.I’m looking forward to your final design drawing."
Bradly looked up from the drawing, but he suddenly froze.
