Chapter 238 Cabinet of Memory
After a while, Aurora uttered with her eyes beginning to tear up, “Elle,”
Tears welled up in Elle’s eyes too, and she rushed over to hug her best friend, Aurora. Elle gave Kyla a vicious stare and said, “Bitch! This isn’t over!”
“Why have you lost so much weight?” asked Elle, looking down at Aurora. Since Aurora’s funeral, she had gone abroad, and if it weren’t for Albie’s proposal going viral online, she wouldn’t have known that Aurora was still alive. Now she felt the whole thing had been turned inside out thus she found out the address of Aurora’s office in no time and flew back.
But she didn’t expect to see Aurora in a quarrel.
Seeing the two of them hugging, Kyla didn’t have a clue who the woman who interrupted them was. She forgot to hit Aurora and stared at Elle.
“Who are you?” asked Kyla.
“Me?”
Elle walked proudly past her and turned to put her arm around Aurora’s shoulders, “I’m her guardian. What are you? Barking like a rabid dog.”
Kyla looked at the two of them, who were about the same height, angry.
“Shame on you!”
She pointed at Elle, “Do you know that your friend seduced my fiancé? She’s a shameless mistress! Bitch!”
“Says who?”
Elle reached out and held her fingertip, “Do you believe I’ll break your finger? Since your parents didn’t teach you how to behave, I’ll teach you something!”
“Ah ah!”
As she pushed harder, Kyla’s face twisted in pain, “Don’t! Let go of me!”
“Loser.”
Elle shrugged off her hand with some disgust and looked askance at Kyla and said, “If you’re still confident in yourself, try me again.”
“I… I will never let you go!”
Kyla glared at them twice viciously and ran away while covering her finger.
“Don’t come back! Or I’ll do the same every time!”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Hey, Elle.”
Aurora was amazed by what Elle did. And she took her hand and said, “Forget about her, I don’t know her well, and we shouldn’t have any encounter in the future. So don’t be angry.”
Elle faked a smile and said, “It’s okay if you want me not to be angry.”
“You’d better think how to explain to me, or I should be angry with you then, Miss Queen?”
“Miss Ford, you’re so generous. You’ll go easy on me, won’t you?”
“I won’t.”
Elle turned around and stared into her eyes, “Do you know how long I’ve been upset since I thought you were dead? I…”
She choked with sobs.
Aurora quickly hugged her, guilty, “I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m back now, right?”
Elle was her best friend in the world, just like her sister. Before she got fully prepared and strong enough to show up before everybody, she did not dare to let Elle know any news about herself.
Elle reached out and pinched Aurora’s face gently, with delight and distress simmering in her heart. She hoped fate would be kind to her best friend after all these.
Then, Elle and Aurora talked a lot about their memories back then in sobs and laughter.
“It’s in the past. I think I’ll just be fine.”
It was a long story about what had happened in the last five years, besides, if she told Elle everything she had suffered, Elle might want to revenge for her right away.
“How could you be fine? Why do I have a feeling that you’re hiding something from me? Hey, don’t hold back! And what about the proposal yesterday? Tell me EVERYTHING!”
Aurora was amused by her look, “I’m not lying to you. There’s still a lot of time ahead, I’ll tell you later, okay?”
“Now let’s go to lunch!” She changed the subject.
Elle was dragged out of the office, grunting, “There we go!”
Sion watched the videos one by one in his office. He paused the video when he saw Albie and Aurora hugging and zoomed in on their faces. He read every comment below carefully.
His face was getting colder and colder, and the temperature in the office seemed to drop with it as if everything in there would be frozen at any point.
“Mr Carroll,” David pushed the door in. Somehow, he shuddered, “I’ve got the news.”
“What is it?”
“Mr Doyle did confess his love to Miss Robertson that night, and many people gathered around the scene to record the videos. Miss Robertson did not openly agree or refuse, for she didn’t want to embarrass Mr Doyle.”
“Get to the point.” Said Sion, frowning.
“Mr Doyle did not attend at the company for several days, and they haven’t seen each other in these days, so Miss Robertson should have not agreed to his confession.”
Finishing his report, David sighed with relief, for that was good news for his boss.
As expected, Sion was stunned for a moment, and then anger seemed to subside a lot on his face. He put down his phone on the desk and asked, “She did not agree?”
“Yes.” David glanced at him.
Sion pressed his thumb against his forefinger and remarked, “Very well.” He then looked out the window; the weather was nice.
Meanwhile, Nevaeh was taking an elevator upstairs. She hadn’t seen Sion for a long time, and today she came to the office to ask him out in person, for she didn’t want to give him any chance to refuse.
As she made her way to his office, Nevaeh responded with smiles to some employees she was familiar with waving to greet her.
When she reached the office door, she heard Sion’s voice from inside. But her hand paused on the doorknob.
“Go get the necklaces that I keep in Cabinet of Memory for me. That belongs to her, and now, it’s time to return it to its rightful owner.” Said Sion with smiling eyes.
“Cabinet of Memory?”
“Yea.”
Sion lowered his eyes as if he was caught up in memories, “It has been there for a long time.”
This was the gift he should have given to Aurora on the day of the car accident. This time, he must give it to her to tell Aurora his love for her.
“Okay, Mr Carroll.”
Before David walked out of the office, Nevaeh had left and ran into the fire escape. Clenching her fists, her nails pinching deep into the flesh, she was overwhelmed with loathing.
