Chapter 264: Hot Springs Visit

On her way to the office, Aurora left the window down, letting the wind blow towards her, her mood heavy again for some reason after Alison's incident.

"Miss Montgomery, have you had breakfast?" Cameron asked, noticing that Aurora's spirits had been low for the past few days.

"I don't feel like eating."

Aurora had no appetite, and feeling slightly under the weather only made it worse.

"Mr. Betts specifically instructed to make sure you eat breakfast, otherwise your stomach won't be able to take it," Cameron reminded her.

"Has she been upset these past few days?" Asher frowned.

"Yes, Miss Montgomery probably argued with Mr. Barnet, she didn't eat breakfast today," Cameron replied truthfully.

"Alright, I understand."
