Chapter 429: The Company

Aurora arrived at the office, full of energy. She had a feeling that with how often she and Julian had been trying, it wouldn't be long before she became pregnant. The thought of having his child filled her with joy.

"Good morning, President," greeted most of the employees she passed. Aurora, in turn, responded warmly to their greetings, her demeanor as bright as spring sunshine.

"Ian, come to my office," she said casually as she passed Ian's desk.

Every time Ian got to be alone with Aurora, he felt an inexplicable sense of happiness, even anticipation. He quickly followed her to the top floor.

When he opened the door and saw the transparent glass floor beneath him, a wave of nervousness washed over him. Aurora noticed how he clung to the nearby wall, amused to see such a reaction from a grown man.

She curved her lips into a slight smile. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Uh, I've had a fear of heights since I was a kid, President. Sorry about that," Ian admitted awkwardly. He had intended to present himself confidently in front of Aurora, but this was a psychological hurdle he couldn't overcome.

"There's nothing to apologize for. I was scared the first time too, but I was luckier than you," Aurora said with a faint smile, though she didn't elaborate. She had been lucky because Julian had carried her across the floor back then, and over time, her fear had faded.

"But if you're afraid, President, why did you design the office like this?" Ian asked, genuinely curious. He couldn't understand why she would choose such a design if she herself found it intimidating.

"Because of someone... He thought too highly of me," Aurora said softly, her gaze distant. She knew Asher must have designed it with the assumption that she enjoyed standing high above to overlook everything below, forgetting that she was also a woman with fears.
