Chapter 23 Intimacy In Public
As soon as Gabrielle finished speaking, the crowd fell silent for a moment "D**n! What did I just hear? She has seduced Mr.Moran?".
"Didn’t I tell you that she looked like a tramp?"
"You’re missing the point.How can she be wearing Mr.Moran’s suit-jacket?"
"She probably stole it!"
I Eliana’s colleagues fixed their burning gazes on her as if they were going to incinerate her.
With a frown, she asked, "Miss Aston, are you sure that you want to make this into such a big deal?"
"Don’t threaten me.Did you forget how lofty you were back then? I asked you to be with Mr.Blake, and you refused.Now, you’re selling yourself to a wealthier man."
Gabrielle did not believe her words at all.

Eliana smiled and said in a sharp tone, "Speaking of selling oneself, I don’t think sám as experienced as you in that matter, Miss Aston.I am sure that you must be really exhausted after getting so many projects."
When her colleagues heard that, they were shocked and turned to Gabrelle with a disdainful look.
"Oh my God! Is that what people do to get good design projects now? How shameful."
"It’s not surprising that Gabrielle became the design director at such a young age.Who would have thought that she sold herself to get to that position?"
"Now that the truth is out, I don’t find it surprising-at all that a lot of our colleagues of the Design Department have resigned.How could they bear to work like that?"
Gabrielle’s face turned livid with rage as soon as she heard those words.
With a twisted expression, she threw the wooden sample box at Eliana in a fit of pique.
"What-nonsense are you talking about?"
Just before the box hit Eliana’s face, she turned aside and dodged-it.
With a crisp sound, the latch of the box flung open, littering the sample diamonds all over the floor, like a cloud of stars.
"Ah!"
Everyone else in the office let out a scream and took a step back.
Gabrielle was flustered for a moment before she calmed down, raised her eyebrows at Eliana, and scolded, "How dare you destroy the sample! It was supposed to be a part of the new products that are to be released during the next press conference.
Each of those diamonds is worth more than a million dollars.
Even if you sell your body to make up for it, you won’t be able to afford a single diamond if you lose them."
With that, she pushed Eliana away, Eliana’s ankle was sprained, so she stumbled and got down on one knee.
As she stuck her arms out to break her fall, her ankle hurt so badly that it resulted in a headache.
She could not help but grit her teeth angrily.
At the same time, Gabrielle was complacent.
"Oh, come on! Don’t pretend to be weak."
She felt like she had finally gotten the perfect opportunity to put Eliana in her place.She then cruelly raised her foot, intending to stamp on the back of Eliana’s hand with her high-heeled shoe.
However, she accidentally stepped on a diamond, and fell backwards like a defeated turtle.
Seeing that, everyone burst into laughter.
Furious, Gabrielle glared back at them.
Just by a glance she was flabbergasted.
Maurice squatted down beside Eliana and put his arm around her waist.
"No, thanks." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Eliana pressed his arm, signaling him to stop hugging her.
However, Maurice ignored her and leaned over until his handsome face was merely an inch away from hers.
Sensing his strong masculine aura, Eliana leaned back in shock.
What was he trying to do when there were so many people watching them?
