The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie

Chapter 57 

The two were scared to death. Although one of them caused the trouble, the other was aware of it too. Who could guarantee that Jacob would not get angry at the latter next? 

While they were feeling extremely uneasy, and afraid that Aurelia would directly reject their suggestion and leave in an ignorant manner. In that case, they would have thoroughly humiliated Jacob. 

Fortunately, Aurelia was a sensible person. 

Although Aurelia was silent for a while, she gave a firm response when she did speak up. In addition, the way she phrased it was so graceful. It made their bold suggestion for her to serve Jacob seem like a fine idea as if she wanted to go to that room to have a prolonged chat with Jacob in the first place. 

“What? Aurelia’s saving our reputation?” the secretaries thought. 

if they still failed to grasp the opportunity to save themselves at this moment, they might as well die. 

Therefore, both of them nodded in a hurry. “Thank you, Ms. Swanson!” 

“You’re welcome!” Aurelia nodded slightly. Then, she walked two steps over and reached out to hold one of Jacob’s arms. She did not say a word to 

him either. 

Instead, she told Jacob’s two secretaries teasingly, “I’ll take Mr. Miller away now!” 

The two secretaries smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say 

Jacob thought, “Aurelia is really an unusual woman. She’s slyer and more sophisticated than I imagined.” 

It was quite embarrassing and awkward at first, but when her sentences made everything natural and reasonable. 

Now, Jacob was curious about how old she was and how she was able to stay calmer and better at surmising things neatly than those seasoned old 

men. 

“Mr. Miller, can you still walk? I’m weak, so I can’t carry you!” Aurelia asked 

When hearing her sweet tone, Jacob admitted that he felt very proud and happy in his heart. 

He replied, “Aurelia, don’t you underestimate me. Do you really think I can get drunk with this little wine? I can even walk home by myself now!” 

Jacob was still testing her as he deliberately pretended to be drunk and slurred when he said that he could walk. However, his body purposely leaned 

toward Aurelia. 

He wanted to see how much she could bear. 

Aurelia frowned slightly, but the strength she used to hold Jacob’s arm increased. 

“Mr. Miller, you have the strength to walk home, but I can’t do it anymore. I have to drink a hangover remedy and take a rest. I heard that you love Blue Mountain. Coincidentally, I brought some from my dad’s study when I came to Xandenia. Should we have a taste of it together?” she suggested. 

He commented, “Aurelia, you brought Blue Mountain? I only have this one favorite, and you even found out about it? Looks like you did detailed research before coming here this time.” 

“Of course Mr. Miller, you’re a distinguished guest not anyone could meet easily. I’ve troubled you a lot for last time’s incident, so I was worried about how to repay you. This Blue Mountain is nothing much. Besides, I’m sure you’re able to get one of better quality. Please just don’t complain about the coffee beans I brought,” Aurelia replied. 

“You’re being insincere with that pretentiousness, Aurelia 

“Mr. Miller, let’s go upstairs and have a try now. Maybe you can give me some pointers on my barista skills too?” 

“Of course, Aurelia. If you’re showing your sincerity by bringing coffee beans from Navarre, shouldn’t I give it a try as an appreciation for your efforts?” They talked to each other indifferently, but at the same time exchanged pleasantries as they left the private room and took the elevator to the top 

floor. 

Aurelia was really tired. For her revenge against Marcellus for her previous life, she had to work hard to enter the business world. After her rebirth, she had to carve a new path in life in order not to follow the tragic road of the past. For this, she had to scheme and endure a lot. If possible, Aurelia did not want to continue living such an empty and compliant life. 

However, the reality was reality. Despite numerous times of her rebirth, the current situation in society remained the same. The struggle for power between people was always full of cruelty and conspiracy. 

If she wanted to suffer less in the future, some of her present grievances would have to be set aside no matter how disgusted and tedious she felt 

about the situation. 

The golden keycard swiped against the door lock gently, and two dull beeps sounded from the quiet door. Then, it was followed by a click, and the door lock opened. 

Once the door to the presidential suite was pushed open, all the lights in the room lit up, and the central air conditioner started running automatically.

When the door was closed again, the luxurious and heavy curtains and blackout curtains automatically fell down. The bright sunlight outside the window was isolated by the thick curtains. 

For a moment, the whole presidential sulte seemed to enter the glittering hours of the night in advance. 

Jacob lay lazily on the leather couch in the middle, and his head was also relaxed on the leather armrest on one side of the couch. It seemed that he really wanted to sleep after drinking. 

Aurelia played with her curly hair and smiled at Jacob’s lazy posture. She ignored him and turned around to walk into the master bedroom inside. 

Jacob saw that she went into the bedroom, but after waiting for another five or six minutes he did not see her coming back out. He was stunned for a moment and thought, ‘She’s interesting! 

Did she really enter the master bedroom just like that? 

Is she so certain that I won’t have sex with her today? Or has she given up struggling and will let me do as I please?‘ 

If it was the former, Aurelia would have overestimated Jacob’s desire for her and underestimated her own attractiveness to men. 

Jacob could not help but smile if the latter was the case. 

Although they had known each other for a short time, it could be seen from Aurelia’s smooth and scrupulous way of speaking that she was not one to surrender easily. 

Although he was confident of his identity, for a woman like Aurelia, it would be far from enough to get her to give herself to him willingly. 

“This will be fun!” Jacob thought.
