Chapter 214

Author: Love Berries
Tessa’s smile froze. “What’s the rush? It’s not over yet. I told you to keep watching her. As for the payment, that can wait.”

Seeing her like this, the investigator had no choice but to continue doing the job.

He thought it over carefully—Tessa probably wasn’t the type to stiff him.

After all, she needed someone like him in her pocket.

Cutting him loose now would only backfire.

“Alright, next time it is.”

“Keep a close eye on Aurora Walton. Don’t make any moves for now,” Tessa reminded him again, worried he might slack off.

“Relax. We’ve worked together long enough. I know the drill.”

It was exactly because he understood what kind of person Tessa was that he felt confident she wouldn’t run out on the bill.

“Spit it out,” Lucas said, clearly losing patience.

He’d watched Desmond pace back and forth in front of him, sighing more times than he could count.

No one knew what had gotten into him today—he kept hesitating like he had something to say but didn’t know how.

    She hadn’t expected a woman to carry such presence.But the next second, she reminded herself that she couldn’t back down.This was still her turf."You… you’re accusing me of slander? Do you have any proof?"The receptionist stood her ground. "If you don’t have proof, then keep your mouth shut!"Her tone grew more forceful with every word, likely feeling that she was completely justified.Their argument at the front desk began drawing attention from nearby onlookers.David, director of the supply department, happened to walk out with his assistant just in time to catch the commotion at the front desk.The moment he saw Aurora, his face turned as dark as thunder."What is she doing here? Get her out of here!" Every time David laid eyes on her, he couldn’t help but think of that incident. It left a bitter taste in his mouth.After all that was said, how could she still have the nerve to show up? Was everyone this shameless nowadays?Even if they were to find new partners in the future

    At this point, the assistant was genuinely curious how Aurora planned to handle things.Aurora shook her head. “I’m not sure either. Right now, all I can do is take a shot in the dark.”“One thing’s for sure—we need to talk to the decision-makers directly. They can’t just cut ties without a word and expect us to roll over.”The assistant nodded quickly. That made perfect sense.Aurora pointed to a name on the list. “Start with Mr. Warren. He’s the key player here. If we’re taking anyone down, we start with the kingpin.”Noticing the assistant’s puzzled look, she didn’t bother to explain further.She added, “I’ll head to their headquarters myself. Maybe I’ll get lucky. The rest, we’ll take one step at a time.”The assistant could only nod along. He understood exactly what she meant—and just how tough this was going to be. It wasn’t just risky; it would eat up time and energy.“Are you going straight to their main office then?” he asked.Aurora nodded. “It’s the only option. We

    Aurora couldn’t help but find it amusing—those two were something else.After picking at a few bites of breakfast, she headed straight to Walton Corporation.On the drive over, her mind drifted back to the supplier issue. Things were getting out of hand, and it couldn’t be delayed any longer.She could afford to stall, but Vanguard’s project couldn’t wait. It wasn’t just her name on the line; it was the result of everyone’s hard work.She pulled into the underground garage and made her way to the elevator, already planning how to smooth things over with the suppliers. That was her top priority now.But the moment she stepped into her office, she realized things had taken a turn she didn’t expect.She’d been planning to invite a few suppliers out for a proper sit-down, maybe over a meal, to clear the air and find a way forward. Instead, what greeted her was a mess.One after another, they’d all cut her off—her messages went unanswered, calls rang out or were blocked entirely.Aurora

    Lucas burned all over from what Aurora had said, heat simmering beneath his skin—while she, on the other hand, knew exactly what she was doing.It wasn’t until he noticed her staying silent that he finally broke the tension. “Aurora, when are we starting? You’ve been through a lot lately. You deserve a break.”There was something loaded in his tone, something she couldn’t ignore.But Aurora turned around, the smile she’d worn earlier completely wiped from her face. “Lucas, I was joking. Don’t take it seriously.”Arms folded, her expression was all business now. She knew this would piss him off, but there was no helping it. The smug look on that other woman’s face had pushed her over the edge.When she said the word “joking,” Lucas seemed to piece it all together.“So this was all to get under Wendy’s skin, wasn’t it?” he asked, his voice low and cold.The air around him dropped several degrees, those dark, hawk-like eyes locked onto her with icy intensity, like if she said one mor

    How interesting.Aurora’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she glanced at Lucas. “Alright, done talking to your childhood friend?“If you are, then get back to the room. I’ve been on my feet all day. My back’s killing me. Come give me a massage.”She placed a hand on her lower back, shot him a mock glare, and turned toward the bedroom.The sight made Lucas freeze. The teasing look she shot his way was pure temptation, knocking the air from his lungs and making his knees weak.“What are you standing there for? Don’t feel like it?”Aurora tossed the words over her shoulder with a teasing lilt. “If you’re not up for it, never mind. I’ll go back by myself.”Wendy clenched her fists, her usually bright, doe-like eyes now clouded with suppressed anger as she stared daggers at Lucas.She refused to believe it. There was no way her Lukey would actually go.Absolutely not!But in the very next second, reality smacked her hard.“Wait, I’m coming,” Lucas said, and after a beat, realized how it loo

    She nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Lucas. I’d never let your wife down.”After getting out of the car, Megan bounced away cheerfully.Once she was gone, the atmosphere inside the car immediately turned quiet. Being alone in such a confined space, especially given how things had been lately, made the air feel heavy and awkward.Lucas tried to ease the tension. “Ahem, since Megan has left, why don’t you sit in the front?”“No need. I’m fine right here,” Aurora replied firmly, without the slightest hesitation.Ever since the day she saw Lucas in a room with Wendy, her feelings toward him had become complicated. Now, just seeing him made her think of Wendy, like a reflex. It was as if she were the third party in all of this.And every time that thought crossed her mind, she found it laughable.Lucas gripped the steering wheel, his voice low and husky. “The view from the front seat is much better than the back.”Aurora caught the implied meaning right away and calmly replied, “But the

    In the end, there was no point hiding it—better to just come clean.From the corner of her eye, Aurora could see the guilty look on Megan’s face and knew exactly what she was thinking.“Pathetic,” she thought bitterly. “If I’d known she was a little spy, I never would’ve called her out tonight.”The whole thing had been gnawing at her ever since.By the time all three of them were in the car, an awkward silence had settled between them.Aurora still hadn’t figured out what to say to Lucas.Megan broke the tension first. "Lucas, can you drop me off at home?"Lucas opened his mouth to respond, but Megan clasped her hands together, her face full of innocent desperation."Please, I’m begging you, don’t tell my parents. I swear, I’ll do whatever you say from now on. Seriously, Lucas, I’ll be good."Her parents had warned her—one more bar visit and they’d break her legs and cut her allowance.If they found out about tonight, she’d be dead broke.How terrifying.Lucas gave Aurora a sideways g

    The moment Lucas saw what was happening, his expression darkened instantly.When he’d gotten Megan’s message earlier, he’d hesitated. After all, he and Aurora had still been in a silent standoff the past few days. Their relationship—if it could even be called that—was murky at best, and he still hadn’t figured out how to navigate it.But now, watching the two of them, completely drunk and twirling in the center of attention, soaking in the stares of every man in the place, he regretted not getting there sooner.His jaw clenched as he strode into the middle of the dance floor, grabbed them each by the wrist, and pulled them out of the circle.Megan protested immediately. "Who the hell are you?!" she shouted, stumbling. "Who dares interrupt my moment of bliss?!"Hearing that, Aurora’s eyes snapped open a bit clearer. Someone dared to mess with her best friend?Did they ask her for permission?Her eyes sharpened with a flash of clarity as she started to pull away. "It’s broad d
