Chapter 64 Service Charge
Eliana made her way across the Design Department and brought the coffee to Bradly in his office.
Bradly saw that she had picked out his favorite flavor from back when he was still a student.
When they were still in college, they sometimes stayed up late to finish their papers.
Eliana had always brought him that coffee.He sighed emotionally.
"You still remembered…"
Just as Eliana opened her mouth to reply, her phone suddenly started to ring.
Glancing at the caller ID, she saw that it was Corbin calling Eliana had a bad feeling about this.
Every time Corbin called her, he always delivered bad news.
Stepping outside Bradly’s office, she answered the phone.

Corbin’s cold voice sounded.
"Bring Mr.Moran coffee in three minutes."
Eliana’s jaw dropped in amazement.
"Three minutes? Are you kidding me?"
"You have two minutes and fifty seconds left."
Corbin looked at his watch and began the countdown.
Eliana’s mind was a mess.It was already ridiculous that he was asking her to give him coffee, let alone setting a time limit of three minutes! It was an impossible task! "Eliana, what’s wrong?"
Bradly poked his head outside his door only to find a dumbfounded Eliana still standing there.
"Nothing," she said briskly, forcing a smile.
Worst case scenario, she could just give her own coffee to Maurice.
"By the way, Mr.Moran wants two cups of coffee…"
Corbin added in a low voice.
Eliana gritted her teeth, speechless.
Maurice had just seen her with two cups of coffee-did he want them both? It was so obvious that he was provoking her on purpose! Just as she was about to hang up, Corbin added, "Two cups of coffee will offset fifty thousand dollars’ worth of debt.Don’t forget that you still owe Mr.Moran money."
Eliana closed her eyes to think.
Two cups of coffee were worth fifty thousand dollars to him? What a good deal! She stole a glance at the cup of coffee on Bradly’s desk.
"Bradly, have you touched your coffee?" she asked slowly.
"Not yet.Why?" asked Bradly, confused.
Good! Eliana swiped the coffee from the desk without thinking too much.
Bradly’s eyes widened in confusion.He looked at her questioningly.
When Eliana met his inquisitive eyes, she blushed.
How embarrassing!
"I’m sorry, Bradly.I need this.I’ll buy you another coffee next time."
Lowering her head in humiliation, she quickly ran away.
Eliana rushed to the top floor, carrying the two cups of coffee.
Corbin was amazed when she stumbled into the office.
He didn’t expect that Eliana would meet his boss’s unreasonable request.
As she ran into the CEO’s office, Eliana slapped the coffee onto Maurice’s desk, gasping for breath.
Maurice simply glanced at his watch.She came just in time.
"You made it."
"Two coffees in exchange for fifty thousand dollars…"
Before she could even catch her breath, Eliana started calculating in her mind.Her eyes twinkled as brightly as the stars.
"Since I brought it here myself, I should collect service charge, don’t you think? It should offset some more debt."
Maurice lowered his eyes and smiled in amusement.
In a lazy voice, he drawled, "How meticulous.If you’re in such a hurry to pay off your debt, why don’t you ‘service’ me more to cover it?"
His meaningful gaze roamed across the woman’s body.
Eliana shivered in disgust and she immediately retreated a couple of steps.
Crossing her arms over her chest, she glared at Maurice defensively.
"I didn’t mean that kind of service!" His tall figure loomed over her.
He steadily got closer and closer to Eliana.
Eliana instantly grew nervous and stammered, "N… nothing!"
She had been so stupid just now! Why didn’t she just ask Corbin to bring the coffee in? Maurice chuckled darkly. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The sound of his voice was like nails on a chalkboard to Eliana.
"Forget it.I was just trying to help you pay off your debt sooner.Why? What were you thinking?"
Eliana’s ears turned red.
Seeing her so flustered, Maurice found her adorable.He couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her earlobe gently.
"Your ears are red."
Ashamed into anger, Eliana swatted his hand away abruptly.
But Maurice was unfazed.He smiled and looked at her leisurely.
At a loss, Eliana ran out as fast as she could, leaving the door open.
When Corbin came to close the door, he caught a glimpse of his boss’s expression.
Maurice’s face actually looked soft and gentle -a rare sight indeed.
"Corbin."
Maurice suddenly turned to look at him.
Corbin’s hand instinctively flew to cover his eyes.
"I didn’t see anything!"
But Maurice just handed him a cup of coffee.
"You can have this one."
Corbin looked at the coffee, lost in a trance.
How could one cup of coffee be worth twenty-five thousand dollars? Eliana was the sole person who received special treatment from Mr.Moran.
"After drinking your coffee, make sure to remind Eliana that there’s someone who can actually help her find the pink diamond."
Maurice looked at him meaningfully.Corbin immediately understood what he meant.
