Chapter 684 Wait For Me
"Eliana. I'm sorry. Have you been waiting for quite a while?
Maurice entered the room as if nothing had happened.
He looked at Corbin, and Corbin immediately pulled Lucia away.
"Why do you come all of a sudden?" Maurice asked gently as he sat beside Eliana.
"Because I missed you," Eliana replied with a smile.
Maurice raised his eyebrows. "Really?"
"Well, I also like to have lunch somewhere near the company. Are you free now? Let's have lunch together. Recently, the factory has been profitable. This is my treat!" Eliana exclaimed happily.
Before, Maurice would have been overjoyed with this, but now...
He looked at his watch with a darkened face.
Eliana asked, "Are you waiting for someone?" after noticing his mood shift. "No."
Despite his denial, Maurice still looked anxious.
"Look at me in the eyes, Maurice. What are you hiding from me?"
Eliana became serious.
Maurice was both guilty and amused.
It was now her turn to question him.
Maurice had to deliberately twist the topic in order not to arouse her suspicion. "Eliana, why are you very serious?" he teased. "Are you worried that I have another woman?
Eliana didn't buy it. "Maurice, don't change the topic!" she exclaimed seriously
Maurice suddenly felt an ache in his heart. Knowing that Eliana was really angry, he yanked her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her passionately.
Their lips and tongues intertwined fiercely, and Maurice sniffed Eliana's sweet scent crazily.
At such a close distance, he could clearly hear that the breath and heartbeat of Eliana were very light, not as powerful as before when she was healthy.
At the thought that all these were caused by her illness, Maurice felt heartbroken.
They had forgotten everything and were completely immersed in their kissing.
After the kiss, Maurice hugged Eliana, whose breath was still unstable, and solemnly promised, "Eliana, I, Maurice, promise you that I will have only one woman in my life, and that is you."
Eliana became dizzy and her face became hot because of the kiss. His sweet words also made her forget why she came.
"Just wait here,' Maurice said into her ear, his voice magnetic. "I have something to attend to, so I'll go out and be back soon. Okay, honey?"
His affectionate voice fascinated her.
What else could she do? Of course, she had to agree.
"Alright, come back as soon as possible."
Eliana then stayed obediently.
Maurice left after gently kissing her on the forehead.
As soon as he stepped outside, his face darkened and turned murderous.
He checked his watch. It was still not the appointed time.
"Let's go."
Jonathan was already at the hotel's entrance when they arrived, and they ran into each other.
This time, the two brought a lot of people with them that passersby got scared and fled.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Get out of my way!"
"You, get out of my way!"
There was a conflict even at the door because both sides insisted on entering first.
Corbin and Jonathan's assistant didn't give in to each other. The atmosphere was already tense before they began the negotiations.
Although it was a tense scene, it was amusing to see a group of adults competing over who would enter the door first. At last, Jonathan stepped back
"Let them in first."
Corbin then opened the door, and Maurice was the first to enter.
Finally, both parties were inside the agreed-upon business room.
Jonathan brought not only his assistants and bodyguards to this negotiation, but also a slew of lawyers to ensure that the contract was flawless.
On the contrary, Maurice brought many doctors with him.
Maurice took out the contract, and Jonathan took out the antidote.
The little glass bottle contained red capsules.
The doctors Maurice brought immediately took the capsules for examination, while Jonathan's lawyers took the contract away.
Both parties needed time to check
As a result, only Maurice and Jonathan were left in the room.
