Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The dynamic between the man and woman had shifted. Earlier, she had taken the initiative; now, it was his turn.

Watching Julian tenderly care for the woman in his arms, one couldn't help but wonder-what woman wouldn't want to trade places with her? To be cherished so gently by him must surely feel like the height of happiness.

Mira averted her gaze with a complex expression. As a woman, she could sense how deeply Julian adored Aurora.

Hmph, just a woman who traded her looks for everything she had now. How long could she really hold his attention? With that thought, Mira turned away without looking back.

Aurora's face was flushed from Julian's passionate kiss. Surrounded by onlookers, she quickly pulled him aside, embarrassed. After all, he was the one who had said he'd keep her company for half an hour.

"Little Bunny, were you angry just now?" Julian teased, clearly amused. The way she had impatiently pulled him down for a kiss was so unlike her usual self.

Having spent so much time with Aurora, Julian knew her personality inside and out. What she had done was nothing more than a declaration of ownership.

This side of her delighted him. He loved how much she cared about him.

"And you're still laughing? Why didn't you tell me earlier that the person you're working with is Mira?"

"I told you last night-it's the CEO of Life. I thought you'd figure it out yourself. Besides, I've never paid attention to who's a man or a woman. To me, she's just a business partner," Julian explained.

Aurora believed him. She felt the same way; even if she interacted with others for work, it was purely professional.

She didn't even give it a second thought. If every little thing required reporting to one's partner, wouldn't that kind of relationship feel suffocating?
