Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

The day after the banquet, Aurora received a call from Asher. She picked up the phone. "I feel like you're about to give me good news this time."

"What can possibly escape your intuition?" Asher's voice was light, clearly carrying the excitement of something good.

"Let me guess, is it about Michael Bardem?"

"Exactly. He asked me to arrange a meeting with the renowned DO designer. So, DO, can you grant me this favor?" Asher chuckled.

"Cut the nonsense. Where and when?" It was expected. The more someone cares about something, the harder they'll try to make it happen.

It reminded Aurora of when she wanted to meet her professor back in the day. At that time, when she was starting out in design, the company was struggling financially.

Aurora had wanted to preserve her last bit of artistic integrity. If her designs were mass-produced, they would be no different from others.

It was precisely because she set her standards so high that her designs became coveted treasures-rare, hard to obtain-and thus, more desirable.

Her creations were hailed as works of art, and she, the artist. That reputation brought her clients like Candy and Michael Bardem.

"I'll pick you up at eleven," Asher said.

"Okay."

Aurora hung up the phone, her mood lifted. Maybe this project really had potential.

"Little Bunny, who are you having lunch with today?" Julian asked, lingering in the hotel room a little longer than usual to spend time with Aurora.
