Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

As the New Year approached, Julian's project had reached a preliminary agreement, leaving only further discussions between both parties. Meanwhile, Aurora's skincare line, the "Herbal" series, was successfully launched, along with the promotion of their other perfume lines.

Thanks to the foundation laid by previous perfumes and effective early marketing, the new products achieved impressive results upon release.

Originally, such a significant event would have required Aurora's presence at the company, but she had promised Julian to stay with him until his work concluded. Thus, she supervised everything remotely through video calls and phone instructions.

With their prior experience, the team handled things smoothly this time. Each day, Heather's report on the product launch results filled Aurora with pride.

"What's making you smile like that?" Julian asked as he emerged from the bathroom, noticing Aurora sitting on the sofa with a silly grin.

"Heather just updated me on the success of the product launch," Aurora said, her voice brimming with happiness. "I'm so proud of them. Even without me at the company, they've done an amazing job-they've grown faster than I ever expected."

Aurora didn't hold back her praise. When she first encountered Heather at the Montgomery Group, she barely noticed her. At the time, Heather was as inconspicuous as a pebble on the roadside. But over time, Aurora discovered her hidden potential.

Heather's kindness and honesty were rare virtues, yet in the workplace, such qualities were often crushed underfoot. Aurora had decided Heather needed refining, and now, it was clear her decision had been spot on. Heather was even more capable than Aurora had imagined.

Paired with Ian, the two were an unbeatable team. Both were ambitious and unwaveringly loyal-exactly the kind of people Aurora could trust to manage the company while she pursued other ventures.

"They've grown so quickly because you've been such a good mentor," Julian remarked with a smile. "Don't think I don't know-you personally trained both of them."

Aurora smiled faintly. "Of course. I've always wanted to help them grow. Once they're fully independent, Mona will feel free to return to New York and assist Ashy."
