Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 239: Is She the Interview Manager?

The two chatted merrily, each taking turns in the conversation. Aurora found Eric to be incredibly knowledgeable. It seemed that there was no field he hadn't explored, and his glasses weren't just for show; this man was truly impressive. Moreover, his manner of speaking was completely different from Paul's; he was a man full of ideas.

She had held some prejudices against him initially, but over the course of the lunch, all her reservations had dissipated. "I happen to have a collector's edition of 'Dark Store Street'. If you like, I could bring it for you sometime," Eric offered.

"Thank you, that would be lovely. It's getting late, we should head back to the office," she responded.

"Alright."

After settling the bill, they left together. Just then, Hayden and Susan were coming upstairs. "Aurora, what a coincidence to see you here," Susan said, clinging to Hayden's arm and deliberately showing off her slightly oversized diamond ring.

Aurora saw through it but didn't comment. It seemed Hayden was using her to secure his inheritance. If a man truly loved you, how could he get the size of your ring wrong? Not every woman loved roses, for instance, Susan was allergic to them, and her assistant had already taken away the bouquet of roses.

However, Susan was clearly delighted by Hayden's efforts, eager for the whole world to witness her happiness. "We've just finished eating, so we'll be heading off," Aurora said, unaffected by the sight, having long moved past any feelings for Hayden.

"Okay then, we're getting married at the end of this month. You should come," Susan said cheerfully.

"I'll just congratulate you in advance then. See you later," Aurora replied, leaving with Eric.

As they crossed the street, Eric instinctively walked on her left side, a small gesture that revealed his gentlemanly nature.

Susan scoffed, "Hayden, that's not the Aurora we knew anymore. Now, she's just a slut, quickly hooking up with another man."

Hayden, who usually ignored such remarks, couldn't stand Susan's insinuations. "That's her cousin, Eric," he corrected her.
