Chapter 277 A Crisis for Sion
“Do you want me to take care of her?” Sion said, his expression indifferent as if it was a simple matter for him.
“No need.” Aurora put the documents back into her bag, forcing a smile at him, “Mr Carroll, I understand your intentions, but I have other plans for the follow-up of this matter. Thank you anyway.”
Sion didn’t insist.
“How about we have lunch together today?” He reached out and brushed away a strand of hair from her face, which was intimate, and said, “Aurora, you promised to thank me properly.”
Aurora remembered that she had indeed made that promise, feeling embarrassed. She budged aside a little bit to avoid contact with him before saying, “Maybe next time? You know, I’m quite busy these days with so many things left unfinished.”
She wasn’t sure how to interact with him currently but she said something else instead.
“Sure.” Sion agreed without pushing further.
At least, Aurora hadn’t rejected his invitation outright, which he saw as progress towards winning her over.
As they walked side by side towards the exit, their shoulders occasionally brushing against each other in motion, Sion felt his heart racing faster and faster at the thought of being close to Aurora again.
He couldn’t help smiling-he had a weakness for her.
Aurora didn’t know the thoughts running through Sion’s mind. She relaxed when he stopped insisting on the lunch and offered to walk him out instead, “Let me see you off then.”
“Okay,” Sion agreed happily as they walked towards the elevator lobby.
After seeing off Sion, Aurora went to the ladies’ room. She took deep breaths before returning to her office. In the corridor, she saw someone standing waiting outside of her office.
The closer she got, the more excited she became until finally recognised who it was standing there.
Cameron turned around, with a warm smile on his flawless face, and began, “Aurora, I’m back.”
Aurora quickened her pace and walked up to him, feeling there were some tears in her eyes.
Thanks to his help, she and her two children had been living well over the past five years. She looked at him with gratitude in her heart, not knowing how to repay him.
Cameron looked at her reddened eyes and sighed softly.
“Why did you lose so much weight?” he asked in a soft voice.
Aurora patted his shoulder and said, “No way! I’ve gained weight.”
She raised her head curiously and asked, “Why didn’t you say anything before you came back?”
“No surprise for you?”
“It almost became a fright.” Aurora laughed and pushed open the door of the office while passing by him.
“Then let me apologize to you?”
The man followed behind her into the office while calmly surveying everything around them; from decoration style down to every detail, it matched Aurora’s low-key personality perfectly.
“That’s not necessary.” Aurora couldn’t contain her joy as she poured him a glass of water, “Are you planning on staying at home this time?”
“I’m not sure.” Cameron took a sip of the water and said, “I heard there were some problems at the factory so I was afraid someone might take advantage of you.”
“Why do you make it sound like we’re going to fight or something? Don’t worry about me, things are pretty much resolved now.”
At this moment, she thought of the man who left earlier.
“But I didn’t do it all myself. Someone helped me a lot…” Aurora paused.
“Someone?”
“One of my friends.” Aurora lowered her head and continued, “He helped me a lot in this matter.”
Cameron thought of something and he asked, “Sion Carroll?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Cameron felt disdainful of that man and he said, “If something happens next time, remember to call me instead of bothering unrelated people.”
“Okay,” Aurora replied, but she felt something was off.
She looked up at Cameron, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Cameron casually glanced at her and saw that she was staring at him intently. He asked, “What are you looking at? Do you think I’m more charming than before?” Then he adjusted his collar seriously.
“Yes, you’re the most charming!” Aurora laughed and replied.
Cameron picked up her bag from the desk and said, “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
Aurora didn’t find anything wrong with what he said since she had been living in Cameron’s house since returning to the country. Cameron noticed that she didn’t react and smiled secretly.
Earlier, when Cameron walked into the building, Sion came down from upstairs and got into his car.
Sion looked up at the towering building and thought about Aurora’s attitude towards him today which seemed somewhat softening towards him. This led him to believe that there were still feelings between them after all this time apart. With this thought in mind, Sion’s lips curled upwards slightly as everything became clearer for him now. It shouldn’t be long until Aurora returned to his side once again.
As Sion prepared to drive away, suddenly two figures caught his attention. A man dressed impeccably in a silver-grey suit, followed by another one seeming to be his assistant.
That was Cameron Dawson, the owner of the Crescent Group. Crescent’s headquarters were located back in Y Country; its capital was so wealthy that it could rival the entire nation’s economies. Many upper-class individuals would find it difficult just trying to meet this man.
Sion was startled by his appearance at home. And the next second, the shock inside turned into a sense of worrying.
It was the time when Aurora was in a spot of trouble related to the factory. Thinking of this, Sion felt like he had a serious crisis.
At this moment, he was desperate to figure out the relationship between Aurora and that man.
