Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
AURORAThe week passed in a blur.After racing and coming in second, I was energized, and I returned to work. The other two designs were done faster than the first.When the team saw the designs, they ate their words like they didn't mean it in the first place, even though no one tried to apologize to my face.The insults on the group suddenly changed to hidden praises and backhanded comments.‘If she knew she was going to handle it, why did she make us all worry?’‘I guess she had too much confidence in herself; otherwise, she wouldn't be so stuck-up.’“How much longer are you going to look at that?” Jason asked.I looked up at him. He had made himself comfortable on the couch and was sipping his coffee like this was some sort of lounge.“I have to know what others are saying about me to be sure they aren't cursing me.”“So?” He raised his brow.I turned my phone face down to the table and pretended to clear my throat. “It's not the first time I have been the center of gossip. I am s

AURORAMy phone was buzzing with messages from the team group.Everyone was spiraling because they expected me to have finished the two extra designs and sent them. Instead, the notice of my day off was circulating the company.‘At a critical time like this, how can she take the day off?’‘Is she just mocking us? Does she think we are not worth it?’‘What if the Sterling Group fails? Does that mean I need to begin to find a new job?’Alexander waved his hand in my face. “What is it?”I looked at him, fully dressed in the customized racer gear. He looked excited to go to the Dome. I was too, but I couldn’t shake off the guilt from the messages in the group.“Maybe I shouldn’t go,” I finally said.His face went from a smile to a frown in less than a second. “Aurora?”“The company. They think I am abandoning them.”“Well? Are you?”“Of course not. It’s just that right now is critical for the company. If I don’t go, then some people might be worried.”“You can’t please them all.”“But it’

AURORAMy eyes fluttered open, and for a brief moment, I was confused.I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, dragged my eyes around the room, and then shut my eyes. Maybe this was some kind of dream because there was no way I was sleeping in bed at home.I was supposed to be just taking a nap at the back of Alexander’s car, not waking up feeling refreshed as if I had slept for hours.My eyes caught the window, and the night sky was already taking over. I reached for the bedside clock and stared at it.Past six p.m.Which meant I had been sleeping from lunchtime at one p.m. till now. I shot up and ran a hand over my forehead.I bit down the side of my mouth and pinched my side.Maybe this was some kind of fever dream, and when I opened my eyes again, I would be in the car and then walk back into work.I lay back down, putting my hand over my chest to steady the rapidly growing heartbeat in my chest as I stayed still. I closed my eyes and waited, but I couldn’t fall back to sleep.My eyes fl

AURORA“I actually did it.”“You sound like you thought you wouldn’t.” Jason followed me into the office.I turned to him and shrugged. I guess I was not exactly shocked that I had done it. Maybe the real shock was that Catherine had not found a fault with any of it.“I mean, I was betting my entire career on it, and you weren’t even sure?”I studied his face to be sure that he was teasing. He cracked a smile and leaned against the side of the table.A knock came, and an intern pushed the door open. She pulled in a trolley overflowing with files.“What is this?” I asked with my mouth ajar and a tone of horror.She scratched the back of her head and shuffled her feet. “References for the internal memo and the files we received from V Collective.”“Wait, what?” I reeled back in shock. “Why are you bringing this in here?”“Miss Sterling says you are in charge of the project, so you should see every single detail to the end.”The intern bowed and hurried out before I could stop her. I jus

AURORAWith my bag slung on my shoulders and my tablet pressed firmly against my chest, I walked into the Sterling headquarters.Usually, people are staring because they still can’t figure out who I am to have Catherine appoint me the lead of the design team after being an intern for a day.But today, the stress of designing all night made their stares already feel like a judgment I didn’t ask for. Jason was waiting by the door of my office.“You look like a panda who is going through a quarter-life crisis,” he teased as I dropped everything onto the table and moved to the mini fridge in the room.“That is because I am,” I said, pulling out a soda bottle and pressing it against my eyes. “I wish I had slept.”“You stayed awake all night designing?” he asked like he was in shock.I took the bottle off and raised a brow at him.“I mean, I am impressed with you, as always,” he said, taking a step towards me.“Even if I don’t feel like it, I have to design. Maybe that is the only way I can

AURORA“Don’t tell me you sat here all night drawing.”I looked up. Alexander was standing in the doorway, sleep in his head and rubbing his eyes from sleep. I looked at the curtains. The blackout curtains had been drawn, so I couldn’t even tell that the sun had risen.“I didn’t know.” I shrugged and shaded the last bit of the dress design.“Did it work?” he asked, moving into the room and standing behind me. He bent so far down that his breath was brushing the side of my face as he peeked into my work.“It did,” he responded to himself before I could.Before pushing him out of the room last night, he had dropped a few hints on how to work on the project.“You can’t make everyone feel every emotion from your work at the same time. They should just feel joy when they see it.”After sitting with his words for a few minutes, it was like someone had opened an inspiration portal for me, and I got to work. At first, his words sounded like an old puzzle that was meant to send someone on a wi
