Chapter 81

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

Right. She was here to deliver the documents.Vanguard’s project was the priority—everything else was secondary.She needed to stay focused.Besides, it had only been a fleeting glimpse.Maybe she had seen wrong.But then again… could she really mistake a face like Lucas’?A sudden thought struck her.Vanguard’s chairman also had the last name Carter.The same one as Lucas.Aurora’s eyes narrowed slightly.The coincidences were piling up.She recalled the extravagant gesture Lucas had made at her mother’s birthday banquet—the genuine antique bottle he had gifted.Even Julian, who had spent a fortune, had ended up with a fake.Yet Lucas had easily produced the real deal.She always knew the Carter family was well-off, but this level of extravagance wasn’t common.Her thoughts swirled as she arrived at the 15th-floor conference room.Maybe she really did see wrong…But the moment the elevator doors slid open, her breath caught.Standing in the center of the crowd outside was a familiar f

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

Aurora’s words landed well, putting everyone at ease.Many looked at her with newfound respect.It seemed Walton Corporation had a strong chance this time.The representative they had sent wasn’t just capable, she also knew how to carry herself with restraint and professionalism.Aurora noticed the shift in their gazes but responded only with a polite nod.She knew all too well how ruthless the business world could be.People loved tearing others down when they were vulnerable.Maintaining surface-level relationships was enough—cordial but distant.There were no unnecessary enemies and no unnecessary entanglements.Stepping out of the meeting room, Aurora immediately spotted Lucas waiting for her.“You’re done?”“Yes, everything’s settled.”Lucas took her bag from her naturally, as if it were second nature.Aurora paused for a brief second but said nothing.Well, if he offered to carry her bag for free, why should she refuse?However, as she glanced around, something struck her as odd.

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

Aurora was like that—once she made up her mind, she stuck to it.The entire way to the car, she didn’t spare Lucas a glance.Lucas, of course, noticed her absentmindedness and asked, amused, “Rora, didn’t you just say I was good-looking? So why have you been looking everywhere but at me this whole time?”Hearing that, a faint blush crept up Aurora’s delicate earlobes.Her mind flashed back to the awkwardness at Vanguard.And besides, that comment had just been an offhand remark—why did he have to keep bringing it up?She shot him a mildly resentful look. “No matter how good-looking, I’ve already slept with you. Seen it enough times. Kinda losing its novelty.”It was a flippant, slightly petulant remark, spoken without much thought.But the moment the words left her lips, Lucas stopped walking.His expression shifted into something unreadable as he turned to look at her.Aurora, oblivious, kept walking ahead, still muttering to herself.Why must he keep bringing up my embarrassing momen

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,

She glanced at the person, taking a quick look and finding them somewhat familiar.If she remembered correctly, it was the one who had been shopping with Chuck. It seemed like her name was Linda.Aurora recalled the way Chuck had leered that day, and her stomach churned in disgust.She withdrew her gaze, calculating in her mind.Was Linda planning to take revenge for Chuck?How ridiculous. Chuck was nothing but scum, yet someone actually cared about him.Then again, Aurora thought, it did make sense. The two of them were probably just using each other.She shook her head, dismissing the thought.When the project manager arrived, Aurora pressed the Enter key one last time, saved the file to her desktop, and closed it."Hey, Aurora, come to the office for a moment.""Alright, I'm coming now."She stood up and followed the manager into the office.As soon as the door closed behind them, Linda dropped the act, glaring at the door with pure hatred.Bitch.Her resentment was impossible to h

"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,

Chapter 90

Aurora arrived at the office the next day.The moment she reached her desk, she noticed the subtle yet lingering glances coming from Linda’s direction.A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.She powered on her computer and casually took a seat, pretending not to notice the stares from across the room.Linda finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.She was busy skimming through the files on her USB drive—all of them Aurora’s project plans.“Aurora Walton, just you wait. Once I tweak these a little, they’ll all be mine.”Her plan was simple.“Once I present this proposal in the meeting, let’s see how you explain yourself. With everyone watching, not even the project manager will be able to protect you.”Lucy, having noticed Linda’s odd behavior, swiveled her chair toward Aurora and whispered, "Aurora, don’t you think Linda’s acting strange?"Aurora feigned ignorance. "What do you mean?""It’s just…" Lucy hesitated, uncertain. "She keeps staring at you. Like, a lot."Aurora gave
