    Chapter 107 Half A Day


    What did Maurice promise Nicole?


    Eliana stole a nervous nce at Nicole, only to see her sparkling eyes and meaningful smile.


    Satisfied with Eliana''s reaction, Nicole raised her chin confidently and left.Her agent hurried after her.


    "What did you promise Nicole?" Eliana asked, looking at Maurice.


    A smirk yed at the corner of Maurice''s lips.


    "Don''t look so nervous.Did youe here just to eavesdrop? Or were you afraid that I would suffer a


    loss?"


    The intimate scene Eliana had walked in on just now shed through her mind, bringing an involuntary


    scowl to her face.


    She sarcastically retorted, "How could the great Mr.Moran suffer a loss? You threw aside even the


    Jarvis family, which was almost allied with you through marriage."


    Maurice, visibly affected by the mention of this, narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips in displeasure.


    ‘What an ungrateful woman! I only did that to the Jarvis family for her sake, but instead of appreciating


    my kindness, she''s making fun of me"


    Maurice thought hotly to himself.


    Then, in a low voice, he sneered, "Here you are wasting time worrying about the Jarvis family, when


    you should actually be working hard to find out how your design drawing got leaked."


    When Eliana heard that, she felt her heart drop to her stomach.


    ‘Why is this guy so moody? Just a few minutes ago he helped me deal with Nicole, and now he''s


    threatening me.It''s like he has a whole new personality" she thought to herself sourly.


    ncing at the silent Eliana, Maurice could immediately tell how unhappy she was.


    Without any change in his tone, he reminded her, "As a designer, you have to be responsible for your


    own designs."


    "Of course I will," Eliana snapped back immediately.


    "You have only half a day," Maurice said indifferently.


    "Okay," Eliana agreed through gritted teeth.


    Maurice could barely suppress hisughter when he saw the adorable firmness on her face.


    ‘Would she really be able to get to the bottom of the issue in half a day?’ he wondered.


    Back in the Design Department, the employees were in the middle of cooperating with the internal


    review process.


    They reluctantly submitted the data in theirputers and, one by one, attended an individual


    interrogation.


    Needless to say, it was a long-winded process that brought the work of the whole department to a halt.


    As time went by, Rachel became more and more irritable and she couldn''t hold back herints


    any longer.


    "When will this stupid inspection end? I have to submit my design drawing tomorrow.This is just a


    waste of time!" Rachel grumbled loudly.


    "Just wait a little longer.It''s almost your turn," a colleague advised softly, but Rachel just turned her


    head away.


    It was at this moment that Eliana returned to the Design Department.Her presence was like a spark


    falling onto gunpowder, igniting Rachel''s suppressed anger at once and yanking it to the surface.


    "Eliana! How dare youe back here?"


    Rachel growled, rushing over to Eliana in front of everyone.


    "You''re the reason the whole department is being investigated, but you happily went and hid


    somewhere.If we can''t finish our designs on time, will you take responsibility for it?"


    "Don''t worry.The inspection will be over soon," Eliana replied unhurriedly.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "What do you mean?"


    Seeing Eliana’s calm and unaffected demeanor reduced Rachel to a nervous wreck.


    In an instant, the tables were turned.


    Until now, Rachel was sure that even an investigation wouldn''t be able to uncover the truth.


    That was why she fearlessly scolded Eliana like that.


    But after seeing how calm Eliana was, Rachel couldn''t help but wonder if Eliana had already found


    some evidence.


    A mixture of guilt and fear gripped her, causing her hands to tremble.


    "Mr.Moran has given orders to collect the surveince footage.We''ll soon find out who touched my


    computer and stole the design drawing," Eliana exined, folding her arms over her chest.


    These words confirmed Rachel''s guess.


    In her apprehension, she hastily said, "But your desk is a blind spot!"


    "How did you know that?" Eliana asked coolly.


    Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Rachel was so flustered that she couldn''t help but


    stutter as she spoke.


    "I''ve been working here for so many years.Of course I know that."


    Watching Rachel squirm in panic, Eliana knew without a doubt that she must be the culprit.


    Not wanting to let go of this opportunity to teach Rachel a lesson, she deliberately exined in detail,


    "Well, you''re right, it’s a blind spot.But all we need to do is watch the surveince footage of the


    surrounding area to find out who touched myputer.It''s simple."


    Rachel''s eyes widened, and her mouth went dry.She didn''t know what to say.
