Chapter 97
Arnold had also noticed something off about Avery, an indescribable air of anger had passed quietly
over
his face.
“The girls you saw last time, one of them is Leopold’s fiancée, the other is…”
He purposely stopped, letting the silence speak volumes..
A chilling glint shot from the depths of Leopold’s eyes.
Arnold flashed a cryptic smile, “I just don’t want you to be misunderstood.”
Avery understood, the other girl was the one his sister referred to as his unforgettable first love.
“So, Mr. Leopold is the infamous playboy?”
Aurelia choked on her milk, almost spraying it out.
There’s a clear difference between a playboy and a man who’s only interested in one woman.
“Avery, you’ve just entered the show buss, how did you become so gossipy? Shut up and eat your
breakfast. No more talking
The color of Leopold’s eyes gradually darkened, an icy chill forming.
“Do I seem that idle to you? That I’d waste my time on women?”
“Of course not!” Aurelia shook her head vigorously, waving her hands in panic, fearing his anger, “Mr.
Leopold is no playboy, I can vouch for that. He’s busy managing a thousand things, he doesn’t even
have time for vacations. We’re going back to Elysium after this, right?”
Leopold gave her a look, “You’re coming with me. We’ll have a meeting in the car.”
Aurelia rolled her eyes, “But I’m on vacation,”
“It’s canceled,” he stated coldly.
Aurelia wished she could just drop dead on him, making him regret his words.
“My brother is going bungee jumping today, it’s dangerous, I need to stay with him.”
Arnold’s leisurely voice chimed in, “Avery is Aurelia’s beloved little brother. It’s his first time bungee
jumping and he’s afraid of heights, how can she leave him?”
Leopold gave him a glance, his gaze as deep as a frozen lake.
After a moment of silence, he grudgingly muttered, “I’ll allow you an extra day off.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He would pick her up early in the tomorrow morning.
“Thanks, boss.” Aurelia grinned, showing a look of appeasement.
But Avery wasn’t as smooth, he was unhappy with Leopold’s treatment of his sister.
“Mr. Leopold, by what right do you cancel my sister’s vacation? This is exploitation! You’re her boss,
not her. husband, you have no right to interfere with her personal life!”
Leopold narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint sweeping across his face, “You shouldn’t be meddling in
adult
matters.”
With that, he stood up and left.
Aurelia broke out in a cold sweat. Her little brother had angered the big boss!
Unfortunately, he was actually her legal husband!
Otherwise, she would have quit and kept her distance.
Arnold got her a glass of milk, “Leopold is naturally cold and indifferent, he doesn’t care about personal
feelings, even with his own family. But, you don’t have to fear him, with me around, he won’t dare lay a
finger. on you. If you don’t want to go back tomorrow, then don’t.”
She forced a relaxed smile, “I’ve had two days off already, that’s enough. Everyone in the department
is sensitive right now, if I stay away too long, rumors might start that I’m chickening out and hiding.”
Hearing this, Arnold didn’t push further.
He was smart, knowing what she truly needed and how to handle their relationship.
He would patiently cultivate this relationship, because her heart was destined to be his.
After breakfast, Aurelia went to Avery’s room to help him rehearse his script.
Avery was somewhat distracted, his mind caught in a dilemma.
Was his sister being forced, or did she really have some hidden relationship with her boss?
Aurelia noticed his distraction and lightly tapped his head, “What’s on your mind?”
