Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 687

The sky was gradually darkening. The cruise ship was about to set sail. Inside the brightly lit hall, accompanied by the sound of gentle music, people gathered in small groups, chatting.

Some were discussing business, others were taking the opportunity to flirt. Many men and women began seeking their targets for the night.

"Tell me about it. I'm sweating from being surrounded like that." Aurora wiped her forehead, exasperated by their intensity.

"Well, it's because you're the rising star of the business world now, Miss Montgomery. Who can compete with you? Younger, more capable, and with such an impeccable family background. And on top of that, you work harder than anyone else."
