Chapter: 239
Earlier in the day, she received a call from her uncle, Wesley, informing her that he had lost his job.
He was now relying on Eleanor to put in a good word for him with Brian.
Recently, rumor had it that Eleanor was Brian’s girlfriend.
Moira was unsure if Eleanor would be willing to help her uncle.
“Hey, where’s my coffee?” Eleanor asked lazily after removing her makeup.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Here it is.” Moira hurriedly brought her the cup of coffee. “Eleanor, I read online that you’re going to
become Mrs. Hughes. As your assistant, I couldn’t be more proud.”
Upon hearing the flattery, Eleanor cast a self-satisfied smile in Moira’s direction.
Although Eleanor knew the rumor was fake, she enjoyed the feeling of being envied by everyone.
Thanks to Brian’s influence, she now commanded respect from everyone.
“Eleanor, I’d like to ask for your help.” Moira approached Eleanor and began massaging her shoulders.
“What do you need help with?” Eleanor asked, enjoying the massage.
“My uncle is a contractor for Hughes Group’s construction team. His superior made a mistake, which
led to Brian Hughes firing both him and his team. He knows I work as your assistant and hopes you
could speak to Mr. Hughes on his behalf. I couldn’t turn him down, so I had to ask for your help.”
Hearing this, Eleanor scoffed, “Your uncle runs into trouble, and you come to me for help? Who do you
think you are?”
How could she stoop to help an assistant?
“I know I’m not worthy of asking for your help, but he is my uncle.”

you. That’s why my uncle asked for my help. If I refused, he might suspect the rumors are false and
that Mr. Hughes isn’t treating you well.”
Eleanor glanced at her and sneered, “You’re becoming quite the smooth talker.”
“I learned a lot from you.” Moira complimented her.
Eleanor smirked but didn’t commit to helping Moira. She picked up her phone to browse.
She checked her Twitter notifications.
Had Brian purchased jewelry for her?
Eleanor’s eyes sparkled, and she sat up attentively.
