Chapter 72

I Believe You Would Come

Eliana’s clothes were soaking wet and stuck to her skin, revealing her curvaceous figure to the many
bystanders who had stopped in their tracks to look at her.

Embarrassed, Eliana’s cheeks turned red as she squatted down to hide away from the people.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of thunder rumbled and a flash of lightning lit up the night sky.

Eliana covered her ears in fear and she trembled like a leaf, burying her head between her knees.She
could hear the sound of rain pattering on the pavement.

After a while, she began to wonder why she couldn’t feel the raindrops on her skin.

Out of curiosity, she slowly raised her head and found a man standing in front of her, holding an
umbrella over her head.

"Preston? You…"



Overjoyed, Eliana stood up quickly as if a sense of relief had come over her..

However, before she could open her mouth to say anything else, Eliana was overwhelmed with
dizziness, as she must have stood up too quickly.

For a brief moment, Eliana seemed to have lost her senses, but she was able to support her weight
against the wall when the man reached out and grabbed her by the waist.

As soon as she found herself nuzzled against his firm chest, her heart skipped a beat.




"Your clothes are soaking wet."

Maurice pulled himself back as he let go of her.His expression was cold as steel and he glared at her
intensely when he put the umbrella in her hand.

Out of the blue, he took off his coat and put it over her.

Eliana could still feel the warmth of his body and she immediately picked up a familiar scent from his
coat that caused her heart to palpitate.

Maurice hadn’t noticed Eliana’s expression, but he turned around and looked at the people who were
staring at her.He sent shivers through their bodies with just one took and they all dispersed like tiny
insects.

"Were you just going to sit in the rain if I hadn’t come?"

Maurice’s heart raced and emotions surged up when he peered into the eyes of the woman standing
before him.

"Well, you’re here, aren’t you?"

Eliana winked at him and added, "I knew you would come."

When her words entered his ears, it was as if Eliana’s voice had electrified his senses from within.

The thought of her smiling eyes as she spoke, gave him a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.It was undeniable
that this woman was slowly shaking the coldness and toughness that he had refined in the business
world.He shook his head to show his disappointment as he grabbed her hand and said, "Can’t you at
least hold the umbrella properly?"



Although he had clenched one fist to calm himself down, he stretched out his other hand, tilting the
umbrella towards Eliana.

As a result, he ended up getting slightly wet in the rain.

Eliana gasped out loud as soon as she saw that and she quickly pushed his hand back.

"Hey, you’re going to catch a cold if you get wet! You just got injured!"

Maurice pulled her into his arms without saying anything and started walking towards the gate of
Imperial Golden Club.

"Wait! They’re not going to let me in…"

However, before Eliana could even finish her words, the security guard who had stopped her from
entering earlier on, greeted them with a smile as he took the umbrella from Maurice and opened the
door for them politely.

Eliana was stunned speechless.

As it turned out, the security guard turned out to be a man of many faces and he knew just how to
change them according to the situation he was in.

The treatment of the most popular gigolo was different.

Eliana and Maurice arrived at his private room, soaking wet, so he asked for two sets of clothes for
both of them.
