Chapter 35

Not Easy To Make Money

Was Maurice joking?

Eliana refused, saying, "Mr.Moran, I think that you should find someone else to go to the party with
you."

"That dress was made for you.Go inside and get changed," Maurice ordered bluntly.

Hearing that, Eliana was shocked.It was no wonder that the dress fitted her so well.

Was he planning on taking her to the party all along? Why did he never ask her about it? With a
straight face, Eliana said, ‘I’m sorry, Mr.Moran, I can’t go to the party with you."

Maurice turned to look at her and said lazily, "I’ll pay one hundred thousand dollars as your reward."

"What do you think I am?" Eliana shouted, glaring at him.

"Five hundred thousand dollars, then, Maurice said in a calm tone.



Eliana raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth, retorting, "It’s not a matter of money!"

"How about one million dollars? She took a deep breath.Wealthy people could do whatever they
wanted.

She then reached out her hand and said expressionlessly, "Give me the money first."

Smart people would end up submitting to their fates eventually, and she was a single mom with two
kids.




For the sake of her kids, she thought that attending the dinner party for a price of one million dollars
was not a bad deal.

Amused, Maurice looked at her and asked, "Are you really that short of money?"

"Being poor is not shameful, is it?’ Eliana smiled at him calmly.

"After all, I would not be listening to you if I have enough money, right?"

Maurice took out a check, wrote down a number, and handed it to her.

"Hurry up,"he urged her coldly.

A while later, Eliana pushed open the lounge door Dressed in the white off-shoulder dress, she looked
stunning.

Her makeup was light, enhancing her natural delicate beauty.

Maurice stopped breathing for a second, and there was a hint of burning desire in his eyes.

"Beautiful."

A voice of praise came from his side, and Corbin had come into the office to report something to him.

Maurice glanced at him coldly.

Frightened by his glare, Corbin immediately shut up.He figured that it was not the right time for him to
come in, so he left the office.

Eliana put her long hair behind her back and lifted the collar.

When she looked up again, she saw Maurice standing in front of her, reaching out to her.



"What are you doing?" she asked, vigilantly taking a step back.

Maurice ignored her as he slowly walked towards her, making her retreat to the wall.

He gently stroked her shoulders with his slightly rough palm before he slowly moved it further down.

His intimate touch made Eliana’s heart clench, and her breath quicken.

She turned around and wanted to run away, but Maurice suddenly put his arm on the wall, stopping
her.

"Don’t move."

Noticing that something was strange, she looked down.He actually was pinning a brooch on her dress,
which had small diamonds surrounding a crescent-shaped ruby.

The gorgeous brooch made her feel lively, like a flower that emitted intoxicating fragrance in the dark
night.

Maurice’s expression grew unfathomable.

But Eliana could only think of how expensive the brooch was.

"Mr.Moran, this is too expensive…"
