Chapter 87

Author: Love Berries
As Lucas caught his breath, he took the moment to murmur against Aurora’s lips, "Now would be a good time to close your eyes."

Before she could react, his hand gently covered her eyes, blocking out the world.

And in the next instant, he leaned in again.

Aurora barely had time to process it before he was stealing her breath once more, drowning her in another heated kiss.

Their silhouettes tangled in the dim backseat, locked in a silent, feverish battle…

At Walton Corporation

By the time Aurora returned to the office, a few colleagues were already waiting, eager to hear about the meeting with Vanguard.

But the moment she walked in, one of them gasped.

"Rora! What happened to your lips? They’re so swollen—it looks serious!"

The exclamation came from a round-faced coworker, a bubbly and affectionate girl known for being a bit dramatic but incredibly reliable.

She was the type to always have snacks to share and often treated Aurora like a trusted senior.

Aurora didn’t dislike her. In fact,

    She glanced at the person, taking a quick look and finding them somewhat familiar.If she remembered correctly, it was the one who had been shopping with Chuck. It seemed like her name was Linda.Aurora recalled the way Chuck had leered that day, and her stomach churned in disgust.She withdrew her gaze, calculating in her mind.Was Linda planning to take revenge for Chuck?How ridiculous. Chuck was nothing but scum, yet someone actually cared about him.Then again, Aurora thought, it did make sense. The two of them were probably just using each other.She shook her head, dismissing the thought.When the project manager arrived, Aurora pressed the Enter key one last time, saved the file to her desktop, and closed it."Hey, Aurora, come to the office for a moment.""Alright, I'm coming now."She stood up and followed the manager into the office.As soon as the door closed behind them, Linda dropped the act, glaring at the door with pure hatred.Bitch.Her resentment was impossible to h

    "Aurora, you have to believe me! I really have no interest in the Vanguard Group project. If you secure it, I’d be genuinely happy for you, I swear!" Aurora looked at Lucy, pressing her lips together before giving her a firm pat on the shoulder. "Lucy, don’t worry. I understand. We’ve worked together long enough—I know what kind of person you are." Hearing this, Lucy’s eyes welled up with tears. In the office, she had always been the kind of person who gave more than she received. She was warm and helpful, always the one people turned to when they needed water refilled or documents printed. Yet once, when something went missing, she was the first suspect. That moment shook her. She had asked why, and the response was something she never expected. They said that because she got along with everyone, she had more opportunities to steal than anyone else. In that instant, Lucy had felt the weight of human malice. Still, she never let it dull her warmth toward life. So,

    Aurora arrived at the office the next day.The moment she reached her desk, she noticed the subtle yet lingering glances coming from Linda’s direction.A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.She powered on her computer and casually took a seat, pretending not to notice the stares from across the room.Linda finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.She was busy skimming through the files on her USB drive—all of them Aurora’s project plans.“Aurora Walton, just you wait. Once I tweak these a little, they’ll all be mine.”Her plan was simple.“Once I present this proposal in the meeting, let’s see how you explain yourself. With everyone watching, not even the project manager will be able to protect you.”Lucy, having noticed Linda’s odd behavior, swiveled her chair toward Aurora and whispered, "Aurora, don’t you think Linda’s acting strange?"Aurora feigned ignorance. "What do you mean?""It’s just…" Lucy hesitated, uncertain. "She keeps staring at you. Like, a lot."Aurora gave

    Not only did Linda refuse to apologize, but she even curled her lips into a mocking smile. Just thinking about the proposal in her USB drive filled her with excitement. She was about to take over this project and push Aurora out of the way—what was there to be worried about? Once she secured this deal, she could do whatever she wanted in the company. If she really won the project, she’d be hailed as a major contributor to Walton Corporation. So, what if she bumped into Aurora? Why should she bother apologizing? Lucy was furious. "What kind of person does that? She ran into you and didn’t even say sorry? That’s just shameless! No way, I’m going to confront her! Linda is getting ruder by the day!" She angrily rolled up her sleeves, ready to storm over and give Linda a piece of her mind. But Aurora stopped her just in time, shaking her head slightly. "Don’t be impulsive, Lucy. "She’s not worth it. Besides, we have a meeting to attend. Securing the Vanguard Group project

    Aurora remained silent, resting her right hand against her chin as she lazily observed Linda.Every now and then, she lifted her gaze, exuding the air of a relaxed Persian cat—elegant yet indifferent.Linda carefully studied Aurora’s expression. Seeing her so calm and composed, she couldn’t help but clench her fists.“Fine, Aurora Walton, enjoy your arrogance while you can. In a moment, you won’t be able to say a word. “Let’s see what you amount to once this proposal is mine in front of the manager,” Linda thought.With an air of confidence, Linda strode onto the stage, her chin lifted high.Aurora found it utterly amusing.As soon as Linda plugged her USB drive into the computer and projected the proposal onto the screen, a glint of realization flashed in Aurora’s eyes.Just as expected.So, Linda really did steal her proposal.Aurora showed no obvious reaction—she merely raised an eyebrow, a faint, unreadable smile playing at her lips.It was as if she hadn’t even noticed Linda’s p

    "Because you are not even qualified for this proposal." Aurora slowly stood up, her delicate face indifferent. She watched as Linda jumped around, as if watching a clown performing at a circus. Linda clenched her fists, her expression filled with indignation. "What do you mean by that?" Her face suddenly twisted with rage. "You must be jealous of my proposal, that's why you're saying this. Aurora, you’re so petty." At first, Linda was a little afraid when she saw Aurora stand up. But the next second, she suddenly remembered that she had already transferred Aurora’s documents. And she had spoken first. No matter how angry Aurora was, what difference would it make? Whoever presented the proposal first owned it. The project manager also turned to look at Aurora, his eyes darkening slightly as he considered the situation. "Aurora, you mean to say..." "Mr. Gardener!" Linda couldn't help but shriek, interrupting him. "Aurora is slandering a colleague! Why are you still g

    After flinging Linda aside, Aurora gracefully took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped her fingers, one by one. That action only infuriated Linda even more. Once she recovered, she charged forward, ready to confront Aurora. "Aurora, you bitch! How dare you! I won’t let this go!" Her mind was consumed by rage. At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was the one who stole someone else's work in the first place. But just as she was about to pounce, Ben stepped forward and grabbed her, speaking with righteous conviction. "Alright, Linda, we’re all colleagues. There’s no need to make things so embarrassing. Besides, maybe Aurora had a reason for doing this." The moment he said that, many people sensed something was off. Aurora, however, simply stated, "Of course I have my reasons. Linda’s proposal was plagiarized from the start." "Bullshit!" Having her secret exposed was like having the last shred of her dignity ripped away. Her voice grew louder. "You have t

    Linda couldn't help but sneer. "Ha, just an empty bluff. I'd love to see what you can actually show us!" Aurora ignored her and continued opening the PowerPoint presentation. A brand-new proposal appeared on the screen. Not only was it more refined than Linda’s, but it was also meticulously detailed—right down to the fact that the celebrities had already been contacted. Aurora’s cool voice rang out steadily, "What Linda stole was just my initial draft.""But this—this is my final version. The hot spring resort can't just focus on luxury; we also need to consider accessibility for most families. That’s why my final proposal is broader in scope and far more feasible."As for the brand collaboration, I’m already in negotiations and have made substantial progress with them." As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted into applause. Everyone stood up and clapped for her, their appreciation genuine. The applause was even louder than when Linda had presented her so-calle

    All it did was make Aurora feel like her past self had been unbelievably naive.But Joseph kept going, oblivious to her discomfort. "Those were our best memories. I still remember the first time you blushed, the way you looked in that white dress—so sweet and shy. “You were always so gentle and soft when you were with me… it was such a beautiful time."As he spoke, he watched her face closely, searching for some flicker of emotion.But to Aurora, hearing those words from him made her skin crawl.The more he went on, the more irritated she became. Her expression turned colder by the second.She reached for her phone, ready to call a ride. Staying here any longer felt like a direct assault on her intelligence.Joseph noticed the gesture. That was when it hit him—she hadn’t been listening to a single word he said.And in that moment, he felt like a complete fool.He had poured out his heart, and yet this woman—this ungrateful bitch—could still be so heartless.His eyes darkened.

    Aurora’s anger ignited the second those words left his mouth.Without hesitation, she slapped Joseph hard across the face, her voice sharp and cold. "What the hell is wrong with you?"This is still Walton Corporation, and you think you can throw a fit right here? Whether I talk or not is none of your damn business. Try worrying about yourself."The slap caught Joseph completely off guard. Before he could react, Aurora had already snatched her phone back.He clutched his cheek, momentarily stunned, not even sure where to look.Rage overtook him. "You bitch! You actually hit me!"Aurora raised her chin defiantly. "So, what if I did? You brought it on yourself."Joseph couldn’t stand the smugness in her expression. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "You think you can just cut me off like that? It’s not gonna be that easy!"Aurora, we were together for three years. Don’t forget, I’ve seen everything. You're not afraid I’ll send it all out?"His threat made Aurora pause, eyes narrowing as s

    After all, this was a choice, and a gamble, Aurora had made for herself.Even if she lost the bet, she knew she'd have to deal with the consequences on her own.She pulled out her phone, opened the ride-hailing app, and was just about to book a car when a voice laced with fury and bitterness cut through the air."Aurora Walton, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"The sudden sound startled her. She hadn’t even noticed someone standing nearby.Steadying herself, Aurora looked up, only to be met with Joseph’s face, dark and twisted with resentment."Well, look who’s changed careers," she said dryly, unable to resist the jab.Joseph blinked, caught off guard. "What’s that supposed to mean?""Nothing much. Just surprised to find a clown performing right outside my office," Aurora said casually. "Now move. Stop blocking my way."At that, Joseph’s expression twisted. The fresh style he’d worked so hard on couldn’t hide the rage contorting his face. "What the hell does that mean? I ca

    "Judy, I know things have been tough on you lately. Go ahead and pick out whatever you want."With a grand gesture, Joseph handed her a bank card. "You know the PIN. If it’s not enough, just let me know."Judy was momentarily stunned by the gesture, caught off guard by the sudden generosity."Joseph, you’re so good to me."He pulled her into his arms. "You’re my woman. If I don’t treat you well, who else should I treat well? Go to the mall this afternoon. Don’t come back until you’ve spent it all."Judy leaned into him, looking blissfully content. She could only hope all her previous doubts were just in her head.After sending her off, Joseph got himself styled up and prepared to head to Walton Corporation to see Aurora.The more he thought about things, the more stifled he felt.That spiteful woman—Aurora had kept things from him for three whole years. It had to be intentional.There hadn’t been a shred of trust between them—that was what made being with her so exhausting, and what

    The two of them were laughing and chatting, and in Lucas’ eyes, they looked exactly like a family.A flush of red crept into the corners of his eyes as he forced himself to suppress the emotions surging in his chest.He told himself over and over to stay calm and trust Aurora.But watching the scene through the glass, he felt like he was on the verge of losing it.The image of a handsome man, a beautiful woman, and an adorable little girl was the perfect picture of a family. No matter how he looked at it, that’s exactly what it seemed to be.Jealousy churned inside him, bubbling to the surface with every breath he took.In the end, he could only turn and leave.Even though anger simmered beneath his skin, he was still standing near Walton Corporation. He reminded himself that Aurora would give him an explanation.“What if he was only a working partner?” he reasoned, trying to hold on to that thought.…Meanwhile, Joseph paced anxiously in his apartment.He dragged a hand through his

    "Yes, our GM’s been busy coordinating with a new project partner. She already left for lunch, probably eating at one of the restaurants nearby."The receptionist answered Lucas’ question without holding anything back.He gave a small nod in thanks and turned to leave.Glancing at his still-silent phone, a flicker of unease crept into his chest.It appeared that Aurora was still upset.He stepped out and wandered around the nearby restaurants, checking one after another. With all the people casting glances his way, he reluctantly pulled on a mask and got back in the car, driving slow laps around the area.Honestly, he hadn’t expected much—just hoped he might get lucky and run into her.But then, through a restaurant’s glass window, he caught a glimpse of a familiar smile.At first, from a distance, he wasn’t sure if it was really her. After all, she was sitting across from a man and a little girl.When he rolled the window down for a better look, the uncertainty vanished.It was Auror

    But Lucas wasn’t falling for her tricks anymore. His face remained cold as he said, "Stay a couple more days if you want, but once you're done having your fun, go back.""You’re kicking me out?"Wendy stared at him in disbelief, her face full of shock. They had known each other since childhood—was that bond really worth nothing now?Lucas stayed unmoved, firm in his stance.No matter how much Wendy pouted or begged this time, he didn’t say another word.In the end, the whole scene ended in frustration, with Wendy stewing in her own anger.Lucas had no appetite left either. Grabbing his coat, he headed out the door.Ever since Wendy arrived, he’d realized he needed to reevaluate his relationship with Aurora. He couldn’t keep treating it so casually.Wendy watched his retreating figure, her fists slowly clenching, eyes wide with fury.She had no idea what kind of spell Aurora had cast. Even after acting that smug, Lucas still indulged her.He even cooked for her.Wendy had never see

    When Aurora got up, she saw Wendy sitting at the dining table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lucas."Wow, Lukey, I didn’t expect to taste your cooking again today. I’ve missed it so much!"Wendy exclaimed dramatically, "You have no idea, the stuff overseas is practically inedible. None of it tastes right. Home is still the best. And especially Lukey’s cooking."But Lucas remained expressionless. "Don’t touch anything. Wait till your sister-in-law gets up."Wendy pouted but, under his gaze, reluctantly put down the piece of fried egg.From the corner of her eye, she saw Aurora.The woman didn’t say a word. She just stood there quietly, like an outsider watching it all unfold.Wendy then walked over to her and, feigning intimacy, hooked her arm through Aurora’s. "My dear sis-in-law, look at all the delicious food Lukey made. Don’t stay upset anymore."If you ask me, you really are lucky. Lukey’s looks and background are both top-tier, and he even knows how to cook. Isn’t that the

    Lucas watched Aurora’s retreating figure but didn’t follow. He knew what she needed right now wasn’t more pressure, but space to cool down. If he pushed too hard, it would only make things worse. His fists clenched tightly at his sides. Only when the guest room door slammed shut with a loud bang did he snap out of his daze. Letting out a long, heavy sigh, he turned and headed toward the master bedroom. Meanwhile, in the guest room, Aurora sat in silence, unable to shake the frustration tightening in her chest. She had told herself from the very beginning to never believe a man’s promises. She and Lucas had always been about mutual benefit, and nothing more. And yet, something had started to shift. Something she hadn’t accounted for. Things were slipping out of her control, veering in a direction she didn’t expect and wanted.She raised a hand to her chest, fingers pressing lightly against her heart. That steady thrum felt more and more unmanageable. Why had she go
