Chapter 192


    Eliana went to work again the next day. Jordy would approach her at every chance he got, determined


    to have her for himself. He wasn’t about to give up.


    “Say, Eliana. Were you joking when you told me that you already had children yesterday?”


    At his question, Eliana stopped in her tracks. Jordy was beginning to get on her nerves. It was enough


    that he disgusted her, but he wouldn’t stop pestering her repeatedly despite her giving him the cold


    shoulder.


    “What I said yesterday was true, Chef.”


    “But… Your resume says that you’re unmarried,” Jordymented, unable to stop himself from


    making a slip of the tongue.


    Well, well, well. So he had even gone as far as to rifle through her private information. Eliana


    immediately stood on alert.


    “It’s true that I’m unmarried, and it’s also true that I have children. But I hope you can concentrate on


    work and stop digging into other people’s privacy.”


    Having said that, Eliana resumed working and staunchly ignored him.


    Jordy didn’t mind her aloof treatment of him. He stared at her perfect back and swallowed hard.


    ‘Looks like she is a loose woman,’ hemented inwardly. She had given birth to children out of


    wedlock. If so, then it would be easy for him to get her in his clutches!


    The thought overpowered him, and his gaze on Eliana grew ever more lustful. He couldn’t reel in his


    desires.


    When Eliana identally caught a glimpse of his eyes, goosebumps crawled all over her body. She


    shivered in spite of herself, feeling terribly ufortable.


    She decided to heed Preston’s advice and try her best to avoid the chef from now onwards. Nothing


    good coulde out of entangling herself with him.


    Meanwhile, Alissa had witnessed Eliana and Jordy’s interaction from the beginning until the end.


    Difort and frustration crept in her.


    Before Eliana’s appearance, the chef had never treated her so kindly. After Eliana appeared, it seemed


    all the men’s eyes were on Eliana and no one else. Seeds of jealousy sprouted in her heart, turning her


    resentful.


    While Eliana was busy working, Maurice slipped in the restaurant unnoticed. He dressed in low-key


    clothes different from his usual sophisticated manner of dress. As soon as he entered, he chose an


    inconspicuous seat and remained quiet all the while.


    “Sir, what would you like to order?”


    Alissa was the first to notice Maurice at his seat. She approached him absentmindedly, not thinking


    much, until Maurice turned his face and looked up at her.


    She was stunned. What a devilishly handsome man!


    Maurice’s masculine beauty stole Alissa’s heart in an instant. She could feel her temperature rising,


    and her heart thumped loudly against her chest. It was love at first sight! Without realizing it, she


    subconsciously straightened her clothes to make a good impression on him. She intended to speak to


    him again, though with a sweeter, more flirtatious tone.


    Her hopes were dashed when Maurice turned away, not bothering to look at her a second time.


    Unexpectedly, he pointed at Eliana’s back and replied icily, “No, thanks. Please call that person over for


    me. I want her to serve me.”


    Alissa followed the direction pointed by Maurice, only to saw the busy Eliana. Her head exploded as


    jealousy surged in her veins.


    Eliana? Why was it her again?! Ugh! Why were all the good things happening to her? This was


    injustice!

    Huffy and red-faced, the upset Alissa stormed towards Eliana. She saw that Eliana was writing


    something on a note with a ck pen, but ignored it and screamed at Eliana, “Hey, Neer! That


    guest called for you.”


    Alissa jabbed her thumb at Maurice, irked. Eliana stared at Alissa, confused. Who was it that angered


    Alissa again?


    She looked at the direction Alissa was pointing, only to see the back of a man.


    “Alright, I’ll be right there.”


    Nodding, Eliana tore off the note in her hand and pasted it on the small ckboard.


    The note stated that the guests at Table 10 couldn’t eat nuts.


    Eliana paused, slightly worried. After a brief moment of pondering, she told Alissa in a concerned tone,


    “Alissa, tell the chef that the guests at Table 10 can’t eat nuts. I’m afraid he won’t notice the note.”


    “Fine, got it! Just leave quickly.”


    Alissa rolled her eyes contemptuously, disgusted with Eliana. Why couldn’t Eliana just tell that to the


    chef herself?


    ‘For a neer, she has the audacity to order me around? The gall of this woman!’ she cursed in her


    mind.


    Alissa’s heart was akin to an exploding volcano, red and angry, pulsating with magma. Her eyes fell on


    the note on the ckboard, and a revenge n formed in her mind.


    Eliana, for her part, felt relieved after rying that information to Alissa. She was ignorant to the fact


    that her unintentional reminder was in truth the straw that broke the camel’s back.


    Now, Alissa’s umted anger which she had bottled up for many days had burst out. She could no


    longer stand it.


    The moment Eliana turned around, Alissa tore off the note from the board.
