After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 17 Albie's Arrival

It was such a sudden that he could barely dodge it. So he slightly titled his head and her kiss fell onto his jaw.

She failed.

However, from the point of view of Aurora looking from above, she couldn't clearly witness what was exactly happening.

What she saw was that Sion and Nevaeh got much closer to each other face to face and even lips to lips.

She felt like even the time was frozen at that moment.

With her arms letting loose downward, she couldn't help clenching her fists so hard that it left marks on her palms, which she herself didn't even notice.

She wanna walked away. However, she felt like being fixed.

She actually saw them saying farewell to each other reluctantly from the beginning to the end.

Never did she expect him to be so eager that he actually kissed Nevaeh regardless of the awareness that she might be standing at the window to watch all these.

With her hand laying on her chest, she felt like her heart aching and her body frozen.

She wiped off the tears at the corners of her eyes and then drew the curtains together.

When Sion returned home, silence still lingered inside the living room.

Avada laid prone in front of the bedroom with his head down in low spirit. He cast Sion a glance when seeing him return. Then he shifted his gaze to the door. Amused, Sion walked over to pat him on his head, who acted like a cute kitty.

Sion took a look at the couch, where there was nothing changed.

Obviously, Aurora had been staying inside the bedroom.

He laid his hand on the knob, only to find that it was locked from the inside.

After a short pause, Sion returned to his own room.

When he woke up the next morning, he saw the curtains in the living room were widely open, through which sunlight shed inside. Meanwhile, Avada was enjoying a sunbath. The door of the master bedroom was open. It seemed that Aurora had left.

Sion walked to the dining room, only to notice that there was nothing left on the table.

Commonly speaking, she would prepare breakfast for him before going out if he was home.

Frowning, he couldn't help wondering if she was mad about the fact that he told her to hide herself inside the bedroom last night.

At the thought of that, Sion smiled.

She must be throwing a tantrum, he supposed.

But actually, Aurora got up late in the morning. That was why she forgot preparing breakfast for him.

She managed to hail herself a taxi but got stuck halfway because of traffic jam. When she reached T-Shine, she almost failed to catch up with the clock-in.

Then a luxurious Maybach parked outside the portal, which caught the eyes of most passers-by.

But Aurora didn't have much time to pay a glance to it. She simply bypassed it in the front and rushed into the building.

Behind her, there was a chauffeur opening the door of the Maybach.

A gentleman in decent suit reached out his long leg to step on the ground with his shiny shoes.

He looked deadly attractive but also rigorous.

His assistant hurried to follow over on his side.

The gentleman raised up his head to look at the portal, from which he noticed an eye-catching figure fade away in a hurry.

Something unusual came across his mind, compelling him to stop.

Noticing him staring at the portal attentively, his assistant looked a bit confused, "Mr. Doyle, what's the matter?"

Albie shook his head to respond with silence. Then he walked into the building.

The lobby was empty, where he couldn't find the familiar girl he expected.

Albie then walked over to the elevator exclusively available for him, with his assistant telling him about his schedule for today.

"There will be a meeting at 10:30 AM. It's about a contract with Starland, which still remains unsigned."

Then his assistant pressed the button in the elevator while asking curiously, "Well..."

Noticing that Albie's expression remained unchanged, he continued, "We have perfectly performed in the overseas market. But Mr. Doyle, why are we coming back here to take over this ungrown branch office?"

They had been fighting in the overseas markets for years and significant achievements were made. He just had no idea why Albie insisted on returning to start over.

Albie raised his head to look ahead. Something seemed to be brewing within his eyes. He didn't answer until quite a while later, "Because there is someone I care about." He considered himself responsible for his sudden departure at that time.

Now he had grown to be capable enough to do something for her. Thus, he would never hesitate to return at all costs despite the distance of thousands of miles.

As a newcomer, Aurora hadn't been assigned to particular design work. But there happened to be a market research assignment for her.

After working on it for hours, she still found it hard to figure out what to start with.

Seeing that most of her colleagues were busying with their own works, she didn't want to bother any of them.

Alex handed him a cup of coffee. Noticing her staring at the files blankly, he asked, "Still thinking about the market research?"

"Yeah..." Aurora brought herself back to earth, looking distraught, "I produce nothing for the whole day. But the team lead asks me to hand in the report as soon as possible."

It would be really embarrassing if she messed it up.

This was her very first assignment in T-Shine.

Taking a sip of coffee, Alex proposed, "Let's take a walk in the mall after work, where there are a few retail stores selling outfits of the brands we own. Perhaps paying a visit there will help you a lot." Aurora replied gratefully, "Alex, thanks you! You really help me a lot."

As soon as they got off work, Alex drove her to the most popular mall in downtown area. Actually, there was a brand owed by T-Shine where she usually purchased her outfits.

Before that, she came in the store to purchase. But this time, she was here to work.

At the thought of that, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Every time I paid a visit here, I had never expected to get a job in T-Shine one day."

Alex nodded and then pointed to another store selling outfits for men, "Yeah. See? That's the store where I always got my outfits. Never expect myself to be one of the designers producing those outfits." While hanging around, they had been chatting happily. Alex started to introduce about those brands owned by T-Shine, including the respective main style and the design inspiration for each latest collection. Opposite the store, there was a bakery shop popular among young girls.

Sion was walking out of the door with a package of bakery.

Actually, it was his first time to encounter the situation that Aurora didn't prepare him breakfast out of tantrum.

Since he didn't have surgery to perform today, he decided to get something popular among girls to coax her. Perhaps she would be happy about it, he supposed.

At the thought of that, he couldn't help smiling. As far as he knew about her, she had been easy to be satisfied.

As he was about to take the elevator to go downstairs, someone caught his attention.

It was a girl smiling radiantly. Obviously, it was none other than Aurora.

Actually, even Alex and Aurora themselves failed to realize that the way they hung around the mall together looked like lovers dating affectionately. This time, both of them walked into another fashion store. Seeing that, Sion turned into a sulky expression.

"The key to organize a market research is to observe, to try on and to compare. The more you get yourself involved, the more you will know about the difference between our designs and the needs of our customers."

Aurora nodded.

Alex picked up a few clothes from the shelf and handed them to her, "These clothes are much different from each other when it comes to designs, texture and cost-effectiveness. Just try them on."

Seeing her hesitating, Alex added, "How are you gonna know about your customers if you haven't tried them on yourself?"

"Okay." Aurora was convinced. She took them over and went into the fitting room together with some outfits she picked up herself.

The first one was a close-fitting off-the-shoulder dress, which perfectly highlighted her tiny waist.

After looking inside the mirror for a while, she supposed some opinions from her companion would be necessary if she were the customer herself.

So she was about to walk out to ask Alex for comment.

"Alex..." however, as soon as she opened the door, she got choked when seeing the face in her front.

She was rendered too stunned to utter.

How came Sion was here?
