Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 257: Street Rat Alison

The catalyst for everything was Eric, who, although innocent, still made Aurora uneasy

at the sight of him.

"Rory, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine!" Aurora said, clearly agitated.

But her demeanor didn't look 'fine' at all. Eric instinctively felt that something had happened.

"Just put the book down and you can leave."

The moment Aurora opened her eyes and saw him still there, her anger intensified. If it weren't for Eric's own involvement with Julian, none of this would have happened.

"But it seems like you have something on your mind..."

Eric sensed that it was not a minor issue.

"I told you to leave," Aurora burst out, knocking the coffee off the table in a fit of rage.

Eric was taken aback by her fury. He had known Aurora since their time in the United States.

It was fair to say that Aurora's company going public within three years owed much to Eric's behind-the-scenes support.

He had always been helping her discreetly and was familiar with Aurora's character and methods. Normally, she would not lose her cool like this without a serious reason. "Rory, your hand."

He was concerned about Aurora getting burned by the hot coffee and quickly tried to wipe off the coffee from her hand with a tissue.

However, before he could touch her, Aurora, like a frenzied cat, bristled, "Don't touch me!"

Her intense reaction made Eric even more puzzled about what could have upset her so much.

Aurora realized she had lost her composure. Even though her cold war with Julian was because of Eric, Eric himself was not to blame. Why should she take her anger out on him?

"Look, I'm just in a bad mood, I'm sorry."
