Chapter 38

The Coming Kiss

Maurice’s sharp eyes were filled with coldness, but the very tip of his eyes curved up slightly, looking
tempting.

Whenever he smiled from the comers of his lips, his thin lips appeared so alluring, making women want
to kiss him.

However, no one ever dared to approach him because of how cold he was.But Eliana had to kiss him
now in order to finish her act.

Anxiety grew in her heart as she saw Evelynn standing still while she moved her lips closer to
Maurice’s.

And Maurice seemed to be really cool about her kissing him.

Eliana could not drag it on for any longer.

She glanced at Evelynn shyly and asked, "Miss Jarvis, why are you still standing here? Are you going
to watch us kiss?"

Evelynn looked at Maurice and asked sadly, "Maurice, is she telling the truth? Do you really…"



Maurice looked at her and frowned, his sharp gaze indicating that she was disturbing their kiss.

Evelynn was shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes.She wanted to pretend like she was pitiful, but
Eliana seemed to be better at it than she was.




Eliana frowned, her eyes wet with tears as she pleaded, "Miss Jarvis, please don’t make things difficult
for Maurice."

She then turned to him with an affectionate look and continued, "He is not saying anything now
because of how close your families are.Sooner or later, he will announce that the woman he loves is…
is…"

Eliana suddenly felt words stuck in her throat.She could not continue to act any longer and wanted to
retreat.

"Eliana."

Maurice’s magnetic voice instantly rendered her brain numb.She was stunned for a moment before she
looked at Maurice whose eyes’ were full of banter.

"Well done."

Subconsciously, Eliana looked to the other side and found that Evelynn had left in a fit of pique.She
maintained a straight posture, looking dignified.

However, the big blow had caused her to be in a hurry.

Eliana breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.But Maurice continued to hold her waist.

She reminded him, "Mr.Moran, you can let go of me now."

Maurice looked at her with his deep eyes, which made her feel like she could drown in them.

"Since you’ve started, why don’t you keep up the act till the end?"

"No, no…"



Eliana shook off his hand, blushing.

"I… I’ll find something to eat."

Saying that, she ran away.

The banquet hall of Boyo Hotel was huge, and there was a table full of delicious desserts.

While Eliana was enjoying the desserts, someone suddenly handed her a piece of tiramisu.

"This is the hotel’s specialty.Have a try," Wyatt explained with a smile.

Eliana immediately recognized him as the man Maurice had played golf with that day.

Wyatt was dressed in a neat suit and a tie, which made him look dashing and composed.His handsome
faint smile made him look like a lazy, spoiled man from a rich family.

"Hello."

Eliana greeted him politely, but she didn’t take the tiramisu.

Wyatt didn’t mind that at all.His eyes lit up as he looked at her admiringly.

"You look gorgeous today."

"Thank you." Eliana smiled.

"I had to dress up in order to act for Mr.Moran."

Wyatt turned away and said, "It seems that your boss is very busy.If I were him, I would ignore my work
and pay attention to you…"

Eliana looked in the direction of his gaze.



Maurice was standing straight and talking to a middle-aged man, holding a goblet in his hand.

The middle-aged man stooped, flattering Maurice so openly.
