Chapter 186
Maurice couldn’t stand the thought of Eliana being with a yboy like Wyatt for even a second.
He immediately called him.
Wyatt, on the other hand, couldn’t stopughing when he saw the caller ID.
His loudughter drew Eliana’s attention.
What was wrong with Wyatt? He was grinning obscenely.
When he noticed the strange look in Eliana’s eyes, he cleared his throat and tried to look serious.
“Umm, Eliana, you go find the manager first and get familiar with the restaurant’s operations. I have to
answer a call.”
“Okay.”
Eliana turned around and walked away after giving Wyatt a suspicious look. She then came across
Rosalie, who was looking around the restaurant.
“Ms. Gorden, Mr. Todd directed me to you so that I could get familiar with the operations here.”
Rosalie pushed her sses up her nose and started exining to Eliana her tasks at the restaurant.
Wyatt stood nearby, talking to Maurice on the phone.
“Hello.”
“What the hell are you doing, Wyatt? Why is Eliana there?” Maurice was clearly in a bad mood.
“You’ve never responded to my messages so quickly before. What’s wrong with you this time? Are you
anxious?” Wyatt continued to provoke Maurice.
“Just answer me if you still want to live.” Maurice voice was so cold.
“I just feel sorry for Eliana. She lost her job and was unable to find another, so I offered her a job out of
kindness. After all, she was kidnapped before because of my carelessness. I just want to help her to
somehowpensate for my mistake.”
“I know you so well, Wyatt, and you won’t feel guilty for such a thing,” Maurice retorted, not giving in to
his lie.
Wyatt paused for a while. He then began babbling, “Now that you’ve found out, I might as well just tell
you the truth. I fell in love with Eliana as well.”
“Ha! That’s nonsense!”
“Don’t you believe me? When I pretended to be Preston, I had a great time with her. Maybe deep
inside, she even likes the fake Preston more. May just the best man win?”
Maurice became serious. “I warn you, Wyatt. You can do whatever you want, except for anything that
concerns Eliana. You…”
Wyatt abruptly hung up the phone.
Maurice seemed really furious this time.
The anger at the bottom of Wyatt’s heart finally dissipated at this point.
Not long ago, Maurice tricked him into meeting Nicole and asking him to walk the red carpet with her.
Now, he hired Eliana to work at his restaurant. They were now even.
It was never toote for a gentleman to avenge himself. He exacted his vengeance in this manner.
Wyatt smiled as he looked across the room and saw Eliana working hard. As long as she was here, he
would surely be entertained by the things that were to unfold.
All of a sudden, Eliana felt a chill down her spine.
She turned around to see what was causing her to feel that, only to find Wyatt staring at her with a
mysterious smile on his face.
She got goose bumps all over her body. Then she remembered Wyatt’s phone call and his weird
laughter when he received it.
Something was wrong.
Did Maurice call him? Did Wyatt inform Maurice that she was working here?
Eliana stared nkly in Wyatt’s direction, lost in thought.
A figure suddenly blocked her view, and a young girl with freckles on her face stood in front of her.
“Eliana, this is another waitress in our restaurant, Alissa Smith,” Rosalie said, introducing the girl.
“Hello, I am Eliana Pierce,” Eliana said as she reached out her hand for a handshake.
Alissa smiled warmly as she held her hand. “Nice to meet you. My name is Alissa Smith. Can I call you
Eliana?”
“Of course.”
In Eliana’s eyes, Alissa seemed to be quite easy-going.
“Now that you’ve gotten to know each other, Alissa, you can take Eliana with you and show her how to
serve the dishes,” Rosalie instructed.

“Okay, Ms. Gorden.”
Rosalie then left them.
Alissa’s sweet smile vanished in an instant when Rosalie left. Her expression became dark and hostile.
“Hey, neer, do you have a rtionship with Mr. Todd?” Alissa asked with contempt in her voice
and obvious jealousy in her eyes.
