Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The entire company's decision-making power rested in Aurora's hands. Although Gemma didn't like Aurora, she had to admit that, judging from Aurora's attitude over the past few months, Aurora hadn't deliberately made her work life difficult.

This showed that Aurora wasn't as petty as people might assume. Perhaps seeking her forgiveness could still work.

"Miss Montgomery, I don't want to be fired. Please, considering that we went to the same school, forgive me this once. I really want to stay with the company. If my parents find out I was fired, they'll kill me," Gemma pleaded, her voice trembling.

Aurora turned her gaze to Gemma, whose face was filled with nervous tension. This was probably the first time Aurora had seen Gemma look so panicked since knowing her.

From the things Gemma had done in the past, Aurora already knew the kind of person she was dealing with. She had encountered many people like Gemma-two-faced and skilled at hiding their true intentions.

"If you knew the consequences of your actions, why did you do it in the first place?" Aurora asked coldly, her expression indifferent.

"I... I wasn't thinking straight. At the time, I was just jealous of how much Candy liked Heather. I wanted to teach her a lesson-I didn't have any other intentions," Gemma replied in a pitiful tone, her eyes glistening.

Aurora found it laughable. "Gemma, I think you'd make an excellent actress."

"Miss Montgomery, what do you mean by that?" Gemma's eyes widened as she stared at Aurora.

Heather and a young girl entered the room just then. Neither spoke as they observed the scene before them. The young girl looked at the woman seated on the leather chair and was taken aback. Aurora was so young-much younger than she had expected.

The girl had watched the livestream of the perfume launch before, but seeing Aurora in person was surreal. She couldn't believe that the founder of the company was someone so close to her own age. Yet, the aura Aurora exuded was commanding, almost imperial. Even though Aurora hadn't directed her attention toward her, the girl felt a sense of unease.

Aurora ignored the two newcomers entirely. Originally, she hadn't planned to deal with Gemma's actions, but the fact that Gemma had the audacity to come and plead her case was something Aurora couldn't tolerate.
