บททั้งหมดของ Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

At first, everyone assumed that the second daughter of the Walton family’s matriarch was just here for show, playing at starting from the bottom.After all, heirs born into wealth rarely took their jobs seriously. With family money as a safety net, most of them treated work as a mere pastime.But Aurora was nothing like the people the project manager had seen before.In fact, she completely overturned his expectations.It was rare to see someone as dedicated as her.With her background, she could have coasted through her position at Walton Corporation, doing the bare minimum.Yet he saw her seriousness and diligence firsthand.Not only that, but she was genuine. She treated people with warmth and respect.The project manager found himself looking at her with newfound admiration.Aurora, however, didn’t care how others viewed her.To her, work was about responsibility—doing what needed to be done.She carried herself with unwavering poise, like a steadfast pine tree standing tall agains

Aurora didn’t say anything else.With so many people watching, there was no need to continue the conversation.“Alright, get back to work. I have things to do as well.”She lifted the documents in her hand as a gesture, reminding him of her purpose for being here.Lucas studied her, taking in the sharpness of her gaze—different from her usual carefree demeanor. There was a seriousness to her now.“Alright. Good luck.” Then, as if casually, he added, “With how dedicated you are, Rora, you’ll succeed in anything you do.”Aurora met his deep gaze, sensing something layered beneath his words. But she couldn’t quite place it.Her mind briefly flickered back to the Lucas surname.Her lashes lowered slightly, masking her thoughts.Forget it.Even if Lucas’s family was well-off, at most, he was probably just part of a distant branch.That legendary, top-tier Carter family—the one that controlled Vanguard Group—was far beyond the reach of someone like her.With that thought, the tension in her

At first, Aurora didn’t think much of it.After all, Lucas had a habit of keeping his distance from others, and there was plenty of space around him.But the moment those words left his mouth, she suddenly felt countless eyes on them.It was as if the entire room had been watching this whole time.“Anything’s fine. Stop asking me,” she muttered, wanting nothing more than to escape.Meanwhile, whispers spread among Desmond and the other employees nearby.“Holy—so this is Mrs. Carter?!”“It has to be! The boss is asking her what she wants for dinner.”“Wait… The boss cooks?”“No way. I thought he was the kind of untouchable figure who never stepped off his pedestal. Turns out he didn’t step down, he just found someone just as high up.”“I just want to know what flaw God gave our boss, because I don’t see a single one.”Though everyone pretended to focus on their work, they were all eavesdropping—eyes and ears tuned in, fully invested in the scene playing out before them.Aurora felt incr

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 CorporationBy 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,

"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,
