Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 392: The New Company

In Julian's world, he believed he should handle everything himself-wasn't a man

supposed to shield a woman from the storms of life? Aurora's sudden remark caught him off guard.

"Aurora, you're not angry with me?"

"How could I not be? I'm upset because you've given your all to me but neglected yourself," Aurora said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Aurora. I thought it was enough to protect you from harm without considering your feelings. I understand now. From now on, whatever happens, we'll face it together," Julian said, embracing her tightly.

"That's right. That's exactly what I meant," Aurora said with a gentle smile.

"Since you took the day off today, let me take you out to distract you from work for once," Julian suggested, recalling that Tina had just left, hoping to distract Aurora from that memory.

"Julian, I'm not as fragile as you think. I actually took a week off to look after Hayden and to prepare for my new company. Today is the recruitment fair, and I need to be there."

Julian shook his head resignedly.

"It's not easy to get you, a workaholic, to take a break."

"If I had children, I could rest properly and be a devoted wife and mother at home. But since we don't have kids yet, I need to keep pushing," Aurora smiled at him.

Knowing her mindset all too well, Julian responded, "Alright, I'll take you there."

"Mm," Aurora nodded, knowing Julian would support whatever decision she made. Aurora's company hadn't officially launched yet but had already stirred a buzz in the financial circles due to its mystery-everyone knew only that its CEO was a woman, a newcomer from Wall Street, but her background was unknown.

With benefits far exceeding those of similar-sized companies, it had unsettled employees of neighboring firms. Given the similar company sizes, the superior benefits offered by the new company tempted many to apply, resulting in an overwhelming turnout at today's recruitment fair. Thankfully, Asher had sent an assistant from the U. S. to manage the affair, sparing Aurora from having to juggle responsibilities at Montgomery Group and her new venture.
