The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 53

Chapter 53 A Big Client

"This is Bradly Stewart, the new director of the Design Department.He has just been transferred here from a branch office."

Corbin’s voice trembled as he introduced Bradly.

"He seems to be getting along with Eliana on his first day here," Maurice sneered impatiently under his breath.

When he noticed Eliana leaning towards Bradly, he frowned and ordered Corbin, "Tell her to get back to work."

"But, it’s lunch break now…"

Corbin reminded him in a low voice.

Maurice cast a sharp glance at him, gritting his teeth as he said, "Then close the canteen."

Corbin’s eyes widened with astonishment at his words.

After all, he had never seen Maurice behave so irrationally.It was clear that he must have lost his head because of Eliana.

Meanwhile, Bradly sat in the canteen, dazed and confused.He had sensed something fishy about Eliana’s question.

"Are you suspecting that someone deliberately did something to bring Pierce Group down?"

Moreover, the manipulator behind it was related to the Moran Group.There was a flicker of disappointment in Eliana’s eyes.

After all, Eliana was afraid that Maurice’s involvement would put Bradley in trouble as she didn’t want him to lose his job.She shook her head to dismiss all thoughts on the matter and released her grip on his sleeve.

"I was just making conversation.My dad poured his heart and soul into the Pierce Group.I… I can’t let it go."

Bradly was about to comfort her.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps approaching them.

Before Eliana could even say anything, a waitress from the canteen came and took her plate away from the table.She looked up in confusion and asked the waitress, "What happened?"

The waitress cast a contemptuous glance at them before she pompously responded as if she had something very important to say.

"Mr.Moran asked us to close down the canteen temporarily.I have to ask you two to leave right now."

Before Eliana and Bradly could even say anything, the waitress turned on her heel and walked away.

Eliana and Bradly looked at each in confusion as they were forced to leave the canteen.

"You haven’t eaten much.Do you want to go out and grab something to eat?"

Bradly’s gaze became softer.He wanted to spend more time with Eliana.

After all, he had been waiting for her for many years.

Unfortunately, Eliana did not notice the look of affection in his eyes.

She was too angry at Maurice to notice anything and the more she thought about him, the angrier she became.

"What’s wrong with Maurice? Why did he suddenly decide to close the canteen?"

"Mr.Moran… He’s quite special," Bradly remarked casually.

Then he noticed a person standing behind Eliana.

Maurice stood there with a deadpan expression on his face.

The oppressive aura that he exuded suffocated the people around him.

Bradly tried to tip Eliana a wink before saying, "Mr.Moran, it’s good to see you."

Startled, Eliana turned around and as soon as she met his cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

Maurice walked past her and stood before Bradly.

"It’s your first day on the job and you’re here fraternizing with a female employee?"

If anyone had overheard Maurice’s words, Bradly would lose the respect of his colleagues as the new director.

"Mr.Moran, you’ve misunderstood…"

Frowning, Eliana tried to explain, but Bradly stopped her.

Bradly lowered his head respectfully and said, "I understand what you’re saying, Mr.Moran.I don’t know what I was thinking.Thank you for setting me straight this time."

Maurice shifted his cold eyes towards Eliana as he was extremely unhappy with her.

‘How dare she defend Bradly?’ Meanwhile, Corbin stood in a corner, shaking as he felt frightened and nervous.

He kept his head lowered as he earnestly tried to avert drawing any attention to himself.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the elevator arrived and soon the door slid open.

Corbin exhaled in relief and said, "Mr.Moran, it’s almost time for the meeting."

As Maurice walked into the elevator, he paused and glared at Eliana.

"Aren’t you coming?"

Eliana raised her chin before responding, "No, thanks, Mr.Moran.We’ll take the stairs."

Her tone was respectful but sarcastic.She grabbed Bradly’s arm and dashed to the stairwell.

The elevator door slid close and Corbin caught a reflection of Maurice’s livid face.

The corners of Corbin’s mouth twitched as he said, "Miss Pierce seems to have gotten grumpier lately."

His eyes lit up all of a sudden as if he had come across a brilliant idea.

"Why don’t we seal off the stairwell?"

After all, closing down the canteen seemed to have worked out in their favor.

Maurice stared at him in awe and anger as he couldn’t find the words to respond with.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

How about sealing Corbin’s mouth? Corbin would have to keep quiet then, wouldn’t he? Later in the afternoon, Eliana was working in her cubicle.

Out of the blue, Corbin tapped on her desk and said, "Eliana, come with me to the CEO’s office."

"But I have to finish this and send it out before…"

Eliana took a deep breath and refused politely.

What was Maurice up to now? After she disrespected him earlier at noon, what could he possibly want from her now?

"What could be more urgent than Mr.Moran’s demand now?" Corbin asked haughtily.

Eliana was at a loss for words.

Bradly walked over to them and looked at Corbin with a smile.

"Mr.Jenkins, what Mr.Moran need? I’ll arrange for the right person to do it."

Corbin smiled and said, "One of our big clients wants Eliana to take charge of a project.Do you want someone else to handle the project?"

"Well…"

Bradly looked at Eliana with hesitation.It was rare for a client to ask for an ordinary designer to take charge of a project.

Eliana pointed her finger at herself in surprise.

"Which… which client?"

She hadn’t even published her work since she got back.How could a client ask for her without any reference to her work?
