Eloise and Brian sat on one side, while Beatrice and Callan sat on the other side. Eloise was opposite Beatrice, and she was on a diagonal line with Callan.
Callan deliberately put his plate forward, so that it was more convenient for Eloise to put the food on it.
“Miss Andrews, how did you meet Mr. Barone?” Brian asked Beatrice.
“I was in an orphanage when I was young. Callan’s family saw me when they went to donate to the orphanage. They took me out of the orphanage and funded my education. When I was young, I even slept in Callan’s bed, and he often helped me cover the quilt. Since I came back from abroad, I have been staying at Callan’s grandparents‘ house, and they are also my grandparents.” Beatrice said with a smile and gave Callan an affectionate look.
“I see,” Brian said as he glanced at Callan.
Callan kept frowning.
“Mr. Barone, does the mole on your back itch? I heard that itchy moles need to be taken seriously because they will develop lesions. I’m very worried about you,” Eloise said suddenly.
The relationship between the two was obvious.

Eloise didn’t know what she was thinking. She thought she was like a wife who deliberately showed affection to her husband in front of other women.
In an instant, it fell into silence in the room.
Callan raised his head and looked at Eloise.
He never knew he had a mole on his back!
He didn’t know where the mole was.
Eloise regretted it. Why did she say this?
Beatrice looked at Callan with an aggrieved face. Was Eloise talking about their sex?
She seemed to have seen Eloise and Callan talking about Callan’s mole on the bed.
Callan closed the documents and said to Eloise, “You do this project!”
“Me?” Eloise was flattered.
“Of course. Why do I give my project to others?” Callan said.
The implication was that only Eloise deserved it.
Beatrice’s face was pale.

“That’s right. Since Mr. Barone has said that, don’t refuse.” Brian was overjoyed, and he didn’t expect to win the project so easily. Eloise was a treasure of the company.
Brian asked the waiter to open a bottle of expensive red wine.
“Mr. Barone, won’t you hold a bidding?” Brian said, “Before, there were six companies that would participate in the bidding.”
“I’ll give it to you directly, and I’ll deal with other things,” Callan said.
Brian tried his best to suppress his excitement and said, “Okay, thank you, Mr. Barone. Eloise will live up to your expectations. Is it right, Eloise?”
Brian glanced at Eloise, who hadn’t recovered from the shock. Eloise nodded mechanically.
Eloise even forgot the real purpose of making an appointment with Callan. She was going to return the money to him.
Walking out of the club, Eloise came back to her senses instantly when the cool wind blew.
She tugged on Callan’s sleeve lightly and said, “Mr. Barone, I have something to tell you.”
Callan followed her.
Under the moonlight, there were two figures, one tall and the other short. Eloise raised her head to talk to Callan.
Chapter 8 The Mole on Your Back Seeing that, Beatrice felt even angrier.

“Mr. Barone, I’m sorry. I said so many impolite words tonight. I saw that you don’t like that lady. I’m sorry.” Eloise sincerely apologized to Callan.
“You know the relationship between men and women well.” Callan looked at Eloise.
Eloise wanted to say that it was Brian, who had been married several times, who knew this matter well, but she didn’t. Callan said that in order to satirize her for being experienced in
relationships between men and women. She didn’t want to argue with him, so she smiled embarrassingly.
“Mr. Barone, you are not joking about giving the project to our company?” Eloise asked him.
If Callan was joking, her play just now would be in vain.
Callan smiled meaningfully.
He turned his head away and didn’t talk to Eloise again. Eloise could only see his sharp–edged face, which was handsome, and she was a little absent–minded.
Regarding the project, Callan didn’t give Eloise a clear answer, which made her feel uneasy.
However, the next day, Sava Company received a formal cooperation contract from Girado Group.

Brian was overjoyed.
It was a fact that Sava Company got this project, and other competitors all lost.

These few days, Eloise was very busy. The legal department was working on the contract, and she was doing the preparatory work for the advertisement design.
After the contract was signed, she got a commission on the deposit, which was enough to rent a house. Living in the suite of Callan’s company all the time made her very nervous.
Soon, she received a call, and the person said that she was going abroad, so her house was vacant. She asked Eloise to go and have a look.
Eloise met the landlord, which was a young girl named Freya Greene. Her house had one bedroom and one living room, and the decoration was beautiful. The rent was three thousand and five hundred dollars a month, which was acceptable to Eloise.
Eloise moved into the house from the hotel and settled down.
Then, Eloise put all her energy into work.
Brian asked Eloise to only follow the project of Girado Group, and she didn’t need to care about other projects.
One day, Eloise was thinking about advertising design at home. Suddenly, she had a stomachache, and sweat instantly appeared

on her forehead. When she wanted to call the hospital, the doorbell rang.
No one had visited her since she moved here.

Through the peephole, Eloise saw that the person outside was Julian Chavez.
Julian was at the same university as Eloise. His family was quite rich, and he had been chasing Eloise all the time.
Although Julian was nice and rich, he was not Eloise’s style. Besides, his family was extremely opposed to his pursuit of Eloise. Eloise didn’t want to cause trouble, so she had been keeping a distance from him.
Medea knew about Julian’s pursuit of Eloise, and she was angry that no rich man chased after Eliza.
Eloise didn’t know how Julian knew she lived here, and she opened the door.
“Eloise, are you feeling unwell?” Julian asked when he saw that Eloise was in so much pain that she couldn’t straighten up.
“I have a stomachache. Take me to the hospital,” Eloise said.
Julian immediately picked up Eloise and went to a high–end private hospital where he often went.
Eloise did various checkups. It was chronic gastritis.

The doctor prescribed medicine for Eloise and told her to cat regularly in the future.

Eloise had always eaten irregularly. When she lived at Derek’s house, Medea didn’t allow her to cook in the morning, so she could only cat outside.
She planned to cook herself after she rented a house, but she had been too busy recently.
The AC in the private hospital was cranked up, sending chills down Eloise’s spine.
Julian stripped off his clothes and draped them over Eloise.
“Make sure you cat regularly from now on,” Julian advised, his concern evident.
“Okay,” Eloise replied weakly, realizing she hadn’t even had dinner yet.
Julian handed Eloise her medication, and the two strolled out of the consultation room, engaged in conversation.
“How did you know where I live?” Eloise inquired.
Before Julian could answer, Eloise caught sight of a figure standing sideways up ahead, bearing a striking resemblance to Callan.
He had a killer physique, exuding charm as he stood there.
Chapter 8 The Mole on Your Back
Eloise’s heart skipped a beat, catching her off guard.
Ever since that day when she played along with Callan, there were moments when she couldn’t help but wonder if their interactions were more than just an act…
