Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 320: You Resign Yourself

As soon as Phil appeared, the atmosphere shifted. Aurora stepped out of Julian's embrace.

"Dinner should be ready soon, Phil. How about we go down and get ready to eat? Perhaps try some of our local dishes today?"

"Sure, sounds great," Phil replied, quickly distracted, perhaps Julian preferred not being seen in his moment of vulnerability.

Throughout the meal, Phil was visibly impressed, praising every dish from start to finish. Had it not been for his elegant attire hinting at his wealthy background, one might have mistaken him for a country bumpkin, so unworldly he seemed, almost making Aurora question where he had really come from.

With Phil there, the mood improved significantly, leading to Oswaldo laughing heartily. The trio ended up staying the night at Montgomery Manor.

The contract signing was scheduled for 2 PM the next day. As usual, Aurora arrived on time at the office, where she noticed the staff looking at her strangely. She had been absent the previous day, presumably a major upset, and surely, her colleagues were secretly taking delight in it.

Aurora was well aware of their thoughts but ignored them and left. Passing by Heather, she noticed her red-eyed, "You didn't stay up all night working, did you?"

"Yes, manager, I finally got the report done," Heather replied, her eyes red with fatigue, "I'm going to print it out now."

Without waiting for a response, Heather hurried off to the printer. Aurora, having been away from the office, was clueless about the report Heather mentioned.

"Look who's here," Ivy said with a smirk, looking triumphant as if she were the one who had secured the contract.
