Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 454: He Feared Tainting Her Sunshine

Every company has its own architectural style. Aurora stood before a sleek, minimalist building, its design dominated by black, exuding maturity, steadiness, and a hint of mystery. The style seemed to reflect the personality of its owner.

The receptionist had already confirmed her appointment, smiling warmly as she directed Aurora to the elevator.

"Thank you," Aurora said politely before stepping into the elevator.

Still, she felt uneasy. It all seemed a bit surreal. Kell Enterprise was ranked among the top publicly listed companies, a testament to its remarkable achievements-especially its president.

He must be incredibly busy, far busier than she could imagine. For him to set aside time to speak on her behalf felt inexplicably strange. Yet, since Mino himself had arranged this meeting, Aurora knew she had no choice but to comply. After all, she had secured an appointment, and people like him likely had a long line of individuals vying for their attention.

Lost in thought, she soon arrived at his office. Gently knocking on the door, Aurora wondered what kind of man this president might be.

"Come in," came a cold, deep voice, one that felt oddly familiar to her.

Pushing open the heavy door, Aurora was greeted by a familiar sight-black. The entire office was decorated in black tones, matching the elegant style of the business card she had received.

The decor immediately reminded her of the place she had visited the previous night-a luxurious apartment also filled with black accents. The office, like that apartment, was meticulously clean and unnervingly orderly.

In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows stood a tall, well-built man. His back seemed familiar. When he slowly turned around, Aurora saw his sharply defined features and froze in shock.

"Mr... Mr. Vukic..."

From the moment she boarded the plane, it seemed as though she had been inexplicably entangled with this man. Wherever she went, he appeared. They had even gone jogging together earlier that morning.

To think he was King... the sheer coincidence was almost laughable.

"Aurora?" His voice remained as cold as ever, his expression unreadable despite her evident surprise. He was a master at concealing his emotions.
