Chapter 256: Business Trip To New York

Aurora arrived at the office and called Julian twice more, only to find his phone still turned off, which left her unsettled no matter what.

"The coffee is ready, Manager," Heather said, knowing Aurora's preferences and making it a point to prepare her coffee every day.

"Alright, you can leave," Aurora responded as she reached for the coffee, but in a moment of distraction, she spilled it over the keyboard.

She frantically tried to wipe it up with tissues, dropping quite a few on the floor, which made her look somewhat odd.

"Manager, let me do it," Heather remarked, sensing something was off with her today.

Aurora just sat there blankly, as if she had left her soul at home and forgotten to bring it.

Once everything was tidied up, Heather took her cup to brew another batch of coffee.

Aurora thought about what Cameron had said, that a woman just needs to act coy, and even the coldest man will melt.

She mustered the courage to call Rocky; when she first met Julian, he had saved Rocky's number, telling her she could rely on Rocky for any trouble.

This was her first time calling Rocky. Before dialing, Aurora worried whether Rocky would recognize her.

The call connected quickly, proving Rocky had done his homework.

"Miss Montgomery, hello."

"Um... ahem, you, you guys..."

Aurora was never a stammerer, especially now when she usually carried herself with such authority.

But she just wanted to inquire about Julian's whereabouts, and she ended up hesitating, too embarrassed to speak directly.
