Chapter 223 Sion’s Determination
Not long after, Anna walked into the office and saw the papers that had been slammed around the doorway. She carefully picked them up in shock, wondering how Sion Carroll offend her boss. She had never seen Aurora lose her temper while working with her for long.
“Queen?”
Aurora looked up with a cold look in her eyes, “What’s the matter again?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Anna placed the papers on the table cautiously and began, “Mr Doyle is here, shall we let him in now?”
Aurora took a deep breath and calmed down, “Let him in.”
“Okay.”
Before Anna turned to go out, she gave Aurora a slightly worried look. She found it weird to see Aurora’s emotional instability after she returned home. She knew little about Aurora’s personal affairs, and these were not something they could freely speculate about as subordinates.
After a while, someone was coming near to her office.
Albie stepped into the office. He had long legs.
“Aurora,” he started in a soft and deep voice.
Aurora forced a smile and greeted him, “Hi, Albie.” It was not easy for her to get her mind off things about Sion.
Albie found she was not in the mood intuitively at a glance. He frowned, took two steps forward and handed her a car key, “Why do you look upset? Did anything happen?”
“Don’t mention it.”
Aurora took over the key and put them aside. As she saw the contract on the desk, her face darkened again, “Sion Carroll is going crazy again.”
She could not understand why Sion had to keep pestering endlessly, grasping at inconclusive things.
“What did he do?”
Albie knew that when that man was mad, his moves were deadly. And he had to drop the way he used to think of Sion.
Aurora pointed to the papers and said, “Take a look.”
Since Albie was curious about what had happened between her and Sion, Aurora told him the thing briefly.
“I don’t know how he came up with this childish way, he thinks that by doing so, I’ll forgive him for what he did. How can that be? Truth is truth. I’ll never forgive him.”
Albie looked at the files, a little surprised.
“He is willing to transfer all the shares he holds, all of them, to your name?”
That meant Sion handed over his entire fortune to Aurora, which was the same as giving away Carroll Group.
Aurora nodded, annoyed, “Do you think he has some ulterior motive?”
Since Sion took over Carroll Group, Bailey, his father, had transferred most of his holdings to Sion’s name. Plus the 10% Sion already had, now he had holdings up to 35%.
Now he gave them to her instead of his beloved Nevaeh unconditionally, which made it get more unusual. Sion was a sensible person. He could not just hand it out because Carroll Group was a business with a history of a century.
“I don’t know if he’s up to something.” Albie put down the files, “I just want to know, what do you think?”
His eyes were difficult to understand. As a man, he knew what Sion was thinking about. Although it was somewhat unexpected for him, if he were Sion, he would have done the same for Aurora.
Aurora tapped on the desk with her finger casually, with some indignation on her face, “I didn’t think much of it.”
“What can he change by doing so?” she added.
Nothing would change. She hated him so much.
Remarriage seemed so ridiculous between the two of them.
“Well.” Albie patted her shoulder to comfort Aurora, “It’s good that you’ve figured it out. I will always be on your side.”
He would not allow Sion to get close to Aurora anymore, since he had done so much to hurt her. And he would like to do something for Aurora. At this moment, he came up with an idea.
Aurora smiled at him, “I know my brother is the best.”
“Then you go ahead and get busy. I’m gonna head out.”
Albie smiled back at her.
He had come to give her the car key and to see her on the way. As a result, he had to deal with Sion for once when he found out about it this time.
“Alright, I won’t see you off than, be careful on your way.”
Aurora was not in the mood to continue the conversation, for she was thinking about how to return the contract to Sion.
Albie nodded while smiling. The moment he turned around, the tenderness in his eyes turned into viciousness.
After work, Aurora finished all the design drawings before shutting down the computer. She stretched and stood up, and the contract on the desktop caught her attention again. Aurora snorted, picked it up and took a look at it. Then she put it in her bag and prepared to go downstairs.
The Crescent Group building was not downtown, but there were a lot of people passing by at the end of the day.
Aurora inadvertently saw a man leaning against a car on the side of the road. The man’s hair was meticulously styled and his tailored suit was different from the one he wore in the morning, so flat, as if it was ironed on his body. The high-graded silvery grey fabric and the Maserati behind him made him blaze in the crowd.
The white collars passing by couldn’t take their eyes off that man while paying him a lot of compliments.
“Wow! Whose boss is he? He’s so hot!”
“What are you talking about? He must be waiting for his girlfriend.”
“Then we have no chance?”
“Why don’t you go and try?”
But the girls only dared to whisper, and no one dared to go up and ask for his contact information.
Aurora scoffed at this. She didn’t want to talk to him, so she felt a headache at the thought of the share transfer letter in her bag.
In the end, she walked over reluctantly. That would be the last time she saw him, she promised. Displeasure was conspicuous on her face. However, Sion was happy to see her coming towards him and was about to speak when he saw Aurora take a document out of her bag and drop it on him.
Aurora didn’t even look at him and said in a frigid voice, “Want to use this to make me make up with you? No way!”
After saying that, she turned around and strode away.
She found it ridiculous that she couldn’t get rid of this man no matter what. She couldn’t even count how many times he had come to pester her in the past ten days. And at the thought of what had happened in the past, there was a wave of irritation rushed straight to her heart, which helped to speed up her pace as if there was some kind of fierce beast behind her.
Before Sion could react, Aurora had left him. Shortly after, a familiar car drove into view, then merged into the traffic and gradually passed away.
He smiled bitterly. All the efforts he made to dress nicely today were in vain. However, he believed there was still a chance for him since Aurora was still willing to talk with him, though she seemed to throw a tantrum.
Sion glanced at the contract in his hand and became more convinced of his idea.
He could finally get her back, he thought.
