The door opened, and there stood Julian, impeccably dressed, radiating a glow that gave Aurora the brief illusion that he was the groom today.

"Madam, we shall take our leave now," Aurora said politely.

"Mm," Tina replied indifferently, her voice devoid of any discernible emotion.

"You're dressed so handsomely today; aren't you just stealing the spotlight from the groom?"

Aurora joked, unaware of the things Julian had been doing secretly on her behalf. Julian, enveloping her with a gentle smile, responded, "I must, especially with the bridesmaid looking so beautiful today."

As their playful banter faded into the distance, Tina's lips curved into a faint smile. Things are going well with Aurora like this.

"Mistress, are we still leaving today?"

Erica suddenly appeared behind her; they had originally booked a flight for this morning.

Tina paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Aurora's gentle smile, and then decided, "The project with Montgomery Group isn't finalized yet; cancel today's itinerary."

"Alright, but mistress, are you staying for the partnership, or for that girl?"

Erica inquired.

"For the partnership, of course."

"Mistress, could that girl possibly be our young master? You two look very alike," said Erica, who had been with Tina only for a few years.

"No, she isn't. I didn't sleep at all last night; I'm going to catch up on some sleep now," Tina replied, seemingly reluctant to continue the topic.
