Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 442: An Important Decision

For a company with no solid foundation, facing such challenges would likely bring despair. But Aurora's situation was different. She had a strong backing, not to mention Julian's unwavering support. Her future was nothing short of bright.

Still, NE's words were cutting. How did he have the audacity to tell her not to cry in front of him? Did he think the world would stop turning without him?

"Julian, thank you," Aurora said sincerely.

"There's no need to thank me. I didn't help much. That guy is incredibly stubborn. I originally thought it wasn't a big deal, and he didn't tell me about Susan being chosen as the spokesperson. If I'd known earlier, I would've stopped it," Julian responded with a lighthearted smile, trying to ease Aurora's mind.

He explained the situation further, emphasizing that money wasn't an issue between them. At their level, material concerns had long been overshadowed by a desire for personal achievement. They simply hated failure.

"Julian, don't worry. I'm not upset, not even a little. Failure is normal to me. How can life be smooth all the time? It's setbacks that make me stronger," Aurora assured him, her tone calm and determined.

"As long as you're not upset. How about this-I'll leave work early this afternoon and take you out for Thai food. Sound good?" Julian always found ways to lift Aurora's spirits.

"You decide," Aurora replied, then added seriously, "Julian, I need your help with something."

"Tell me," he said at once.

"Since you and NE attended the same school, do you know Professor Lockman?" Aurora already had a plan forming in her mind. NE's words earlier had completely ignited her determination.

"Professor Lockman? I'm not very close to him, but I know people who can introduce you. Why do you need to see him?" Julian had a vague idea of her intentions, but it seemed too ambitious to be true.
