Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 242: Warm Happiness

The clock pointed to four, and Aurora had finally finished interviewing everyone. She grabbed her coat, "Please announce the results of the interview; I have to leave for another matter."

"Of course, Miss Montgomery, you go ahead with your urgent matters," the others said, understanding her hurried demeanor.

Aurora was about to call Julian to ask what he wanted for dinner so she could go grocery shopping when she unexpectedly ran into Eric.

"Miss, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"

"I have some things to take care of; did you come here specifically to find me?" His office wasn't in this building, and he appeared to have come from the direction of the interview hall.

"Yes, I came to inform you that Mr. Gilpin has rescheduled your appointment to this evening. Do you have important plans tonight? It was not easy for Mr. Gilpin to find the time; missing this opportunity might make it difficult to schedule another meeting with him."

Eric looked somewhat uneasy. Aurora stared at him intently, "We are competitors, aren't we? Do you really have such good intentions to help me?"

She couldn't believe that Eric was genuinely helping her; after all, he was Paul's son, and Paul had lost his position because of her.

How could Paul's son not blame her at all? Now, with both their futures at stake, it was impossible for him to truly be helping her.

Eric's expression remained calm, "Miss, I am not helping you; I am merely conveying Mr. Gilpin's message. Whether you attend or not is up to you."

Aurora bit her lip; on one hand, Julian was injured at home, and she wanted to take good care of him.

On the other hand, she was very concerned about her job, and now Jason had proactively scheduled a meeting with her.

As Eric had said, missing this chance might mean she would never get another one, and if the order was confirmed for Eric, she could give up all hope.
