All Chapters of Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions: Chapter 51 - Chapter 59

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

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

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’

AURORAI push the door to the private room at exactly nine a.m.Garrick had sent over the details for the meeting to my phone last night. He claimed to have gotten a link to the V Collectives, and they would be essential in getting us in.‘With your great designs and my connections, we can at least bring pride to the Sterling Group.’I could tell this was a trap, but there was no way to gather enough evidence without going in willingly.Alexander had tried to act like he didn't care I was going out so early, but he didn't push it. He just asked me to call him if anything went wrong with me.I pressed the record on my phone and slipped it into the pocket of my jacket before pushing the door open.I stopped in my tracks at the sight in front of me. Garrick was seated beside Julian, toasting. They both turned to me, an evil smile climbing their face.Julian let out an evil laughter and shook his head. “I told you she would come alone. She is so desperate for any form of attention.”I sep
