Chapter 72


    Chapter 72 I Believe You Would Come


    Eliana’s clothes were soaking wet and stuck to her skin, revealing her curvaceous figure to the many


    bystanders who had stopped in their tracks to look at her.


    Embarrassed, Eliana’s cheeks turned red as she squatted down to hide away from the people.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of thunder rumbled and a sh of lightning lit up the night sky.


    Eliana covered her ears in fear and she trembled like a leaf, burying her head between her knees.She


    could hear the sound of rain pattering on the pavement.


    After a while, she began to wonder why she couldn’t feel the raindrops on her skin.


    Out of curiosity, she slowly raised her head and found a man standing in front of her, holding an


    umbre over her head.


    "Preston? You…"

    Overjoyed, Eliana stood up quickly as if a sense of relief hade over her..


    However, before she could open her mouth to say anything else, Eliana was overwhelmed with


    dizziness, as she must have stood up too quickly.


    For a brief moment, Eliana seemed to have lost her senses, but she was able to support her weight


    against the wall when the man reached out and grabbed her by the waist.


    As soon as she found herself nuzzled against his firm chest, her heart skipped a beat.


    "Your clothes are soaking wet."


    Maurice pulled himself back as he let go of her.His expression was cold as steel and he red at her


    intensely when he put the umbre in her hand.


    Out of the blue, he took off his coat and put it over her.


    Eliana could still feel the warmth of his body and she immediately picked up a familiar scent from his


    coat that caused her heart to palpitate.


    Maurice hadn’t noticed Eliana’s expression, but he turned around and looked at the people who were


    staring at her.He sent shivers through their bodies with just one took and they all dispersed like tiny


    insects.


    "Were you just going to sit in the rain if I hadn’te?"


    Maurice’s heart raced and emotions surged up when he peered into the eyes of the woman standing


    before him.


    "Well, you’re here, aren’t you?"


    Eliana winked at him and added, "I knew you woulde."


    When her words entered his ears, it was as if Eliana’s voice had electrified his senses from within.


    The thought of her smiling eyes as she spoke, gave him a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.It was undeniable


    that this woman was slowly shaking the coldness and toughness that he had refined in the business


    world.He shook his head to show his disappointment as he grabbed her hand and said, "Can’t you at


    least hold the umbre properly?"


    Although he had clenched one fist to calm himself down, he stretched out his other hand, tilting the


    umbre towards Eliana.


    As a result, he ended up getting slightly wet in the rain.


    Eliana gasped out loud as soon as she saw that and she quickly pushed his hand back.


    "Hey, you’re going to catch a cold if you get wet! You just got injured!"


    Maurice pulled her into his arms without saying anything and started walking towards the gate of


    Imperial Golden Club.


    "Wait! They’re not going to let me in…"


    However, before Eliana could even finish her words, the security guard who had stopped her from


    entering earlier on, greeted them with a smile as he took the umbre from Maurice and opened the


    door for them politely.


    Eliana was stunned speechless.

    As it turned out, the security guard turned out to be a man of many faces and he knew just how to


    change them ording to the situation he was in.


    The treatment of the most popr gigolo was different.


    Eliana and Maurice arrived at his private room, soaking wet, so he asked for two sets of clothes for


    both of them.


    After Eliana got changed, she walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from her wet hair.


    Sitting leisurely on the sofa, Maurice stared at her nkly and he had changed into dry clothes.


    "How is your injury?"


    Eliana walked towards him with a concerned expression on her face.


    The dim yellow light danced on her delicate face as she got closer to him.


    Although Eliana wasn’t wearing any make-up today, she still managed to make his heart skip a beat


    with her strikingly good looks.


    "Preston?"


    When Eliana didn’t get any response from him, she waved her hand in front of his face to get his


    attention.


    Out of the blue, Maurice came to his senses and found that he had just watched this woman


    spellbound.He cleared his throat and said, "I’m fine."


    "Are you just saying that to look tough? Did you really see a doctor?"


    As Eliana sat down next to him, she eyed his waist suspiciously "You don’t believe me?"


    Maurice raised his eyebrows at her and added, "Do you want me to show you?"


    He looked straight into Eliana’s eyes and unbuttoned his shirt slowly.


    Eliana didn’t stop him.Without conscious thought, her eyes explored his muscr figure before she


    looked down his slender fingers.
