Chapter 115
Lucas stayed beside her, not saying a word, simply watching her with a smile tugging at his lips.
After finishing the hangover tea, Aurora felt much better. Her strength had returned, and she was ready to get up and head to work.
“You’re not taking the day off?” Lucas looked at her with concern, still unsure she was fully recovered.
Aurora shook her head. “No need. I remember everything from last night. I’ve got personal matters to deal with at the office and family ones too. I can’t afford to waste any more time here.”
Lucas knew there was no stopping her, so he didn’t try. “Just don’t push yourself. If anything happens, call me.”
Aurora gave him an “OK” gesture with her hand, then left without another word. She got in her car and drove straight to the company.
Lucas looked down at the now-empty cup and shook his head with a helpless smile. His Rora was perfect in every way, except she was far too stubborn. She refused to rely on him, but he understood why.
Aurora wasn’t some caged bird meant to be kept behind walls. She was made to explore the vast world, not be confined to a quiet corner. A life like that meant nothing to someone like her.
After tidying up the kitchen, Lucas grabbed his keys and headed to Vanguard Group.
Meanwhile, Aurora arrived at Walton Corporation with a clear goal: to find Hank. She needed answers – what exactly had that dinner been about? If he claimed Tessa was behind it, he’d better have proof. And with the signed contracts from those two executives, she already had part of it.
She headed straight to Hank’s office, but the moment she pushed the door open, she froze. Not only was he gone, the entire office had been cleared out.
Just then, Lucy passed by. Aurora turned and asked, “Have you seen Mr. Smith?”
Lucy shook her head. “Not sure what happened, but the moment he came in this morning, he went straight to HR. Looked like he was resigning.”
“Resigning?”
Aurora’s expression darkened, her whole presence shifting. The air around her grew cold and sharp.
