Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Your Sole Job is to Be Mrs. Barnet

Tonight's dinner was sumptuous, featuring ingredients from all corners of the globe.

The priciest lobster and the finest steaks, ingredients flown in just today, accompanied by red wine that had been perfectly decanted in advance. It was only after Aurora had seated herself that Julian slowly descended the stairs, his expression now perfectly normal as if nothing had happened.

Later in the evening, she was busy dealing with matters from the United States, while Julian was busy responding to his emails.

The room was filled only with the sounds of their mouse clicks and keyboard taps until the clock struck eleven, and Julian had already shut down his computer.
