Chapter 439


    She had no fear!


    Eliana suppressed her rage, fearing that Maurice and Harriet would think less of her. With clenched


    teeth, she muttered, “Fine! I am able to take on this issue, but…”


    “But what?” Harriet inquired restlessly.


    “I doubt that I can solve this problem on my own. I’m hoping that thepany will send someone over


    to assist me.”


    Eliana was adamant that she would not ept any sort of concession.


    She was unable to fall victim to the same trap repeatedly. It had cost her dearly to have tobor alone


    previously. This time around she would team up with someone.


    Harriet could have done nothing except assent. She took a sweeping nce at the staff members and


    made an informal gesture toward one of them.


    “What do you think of her? Come on, Lucia.”


    Eliana traced Harriet’s finger and saw a lovely girl in ck-rimmed sses get up as she pointed.


    “Miss Stone,” she said.


    Eliana was surprised upon taking a nce at her on her way towards them.


    She recognized her!


    She recalled that the previous time when the electricity went out in the Moran Group building, a girl


    stood next to Lilian and tried to admonish her, but Lilian halted her.


    And she refrained from joining in Lilian’s taunt just now.


    Eliana had a good opinion of her.


    “From this point on, Lucia will be Eliana’s intern.”


    Harriet’s patronizing tone belied the seriousness of hermand.


    “Certainly, Miss Stone. Imit to putting forth a lot of effort.”


    Harriet nodded and gazed at Eliana once more.


    “I’ve actually gotten you an ally. You can begin right away.”


    After that, she walked away without a moment’s hesitation, leaving Eliana and Lucia alone.


    They were both feeling a bit ashamed. Eliana was the one who initiated the conversation. “You are still


    an intern? Why do I get the impression you have associated with the organization for a long time?”


    Lucia Todd flushed. She gave Eliana a bashful look and remarked, “Hello there, Miss Pierce. My name


    is Lucia Todd. I’ve been with the firm for three months now.”


    “Three months, you say? Howe you haven’t be a regr worker?” Eliana inquired in shock.


    Lucia’s smile faded, and she bowed her head.


    “I haven’t been officially hired since Miss Stone hasn’t validated my request. Probably… Maybe she


    thought there was something I haven’t done well enough. I don’t think I’m going to be a regr


    worker here.”


    Eliana noticed the sadness on her face and tried to cheer her up by saying, “Eliana is fine with me. Do


    not feel down. I’ll see if I can get an answer from the hiring manager for you. You didn’t do anythingC0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    wrong, so you probably would be a regr.”


    Lucia sighed instantly. “That’s a lot to expect of you, Miss Pierce. It’s fine if I can’t be a permanent


    employee here as long as I can gain valuable experience. I shall master from you henceforth!”


    What a sincere youngdy.


    Eliana could only take a breath as she observed Lucia’sck of interest. “Call me Eliana, please. Let us


    coborate to fulfill this objective.”


    “All right!” Lucia’spetitive spirit was retrieved.


    After that, Eliana and Lucia went downstairs. Upon getting out of the entrance, they found Harriet


    waiting beside the road, and the silver Maybach halted in front of her.


    Eliana noticed Maurice in the backseat as Corbin stepped out of the car to let Harriet in.


    Once Harriet was buckled up, the car started.


    Eliana felt an overwhelming sense of loss as she red sadly at the car as it pulled away.


    “Eliana? Eliana? What’s the matter with you?”


    Lucia turned to look at the stunned Eliana in surprise.


    Harriet tried to engage Maurice in a conversation while they rode in the car; nevertheless, he simply


    shut off his eyes to rest with no response.


    As time went on, Harriet gave up.


    At some point, while driving, Corbin had to inquire.


    At a red light, Corbin turned to Maurice and stated, “Boss, when we picked up Miss Stone just now, I


    appeared to have seen Eliana at the entrance…”


    “I don’t want to know anything about her,” said Maurice after opening his eyes.


    “Mr. Jenkins, you should not bring an unrted person to Mr. Moran in order to bother him,” Harriet


    stated. “In addition, Mr. Moran’s grandfather has cardiac issues. Don’t bring up Eliana in his presence


    either.”


    Corbin moaned as he looked at Maurice, who said nothing but seemed toply.


    It appeared that Maurice and Eliana were still at opposite ends of the spectrum.
