Chapter 2027
As Aldor checked the reports Aurora had worked on, he chuckled. "Mr.
Kane is very focused when he works, often losing track of time. He doesn’t always mean to delay everyone's time.
"If you have something to attend to, you can go first. I'll give Mr. Kane a heads up later," he continued.
Aurora rolled her eyes. "Everyone else is still here. Wouldn't it mean I'm getting special treatment if I leave early? Keegan would
definitely scold me again later. Besides, have you forgotten that Grandma asked you to go to her place for dinner tonight?"
"Can I not go?" Aldor seemed conflicted. Cordelia was rather cunning; dinner at her place meant he had to be careful.
"Sure. But you have to inform her yourself," said Aurora.
Aldor remained silent. He glanced at Aurora, who was sipping some water, and said, "Tell your grandma we're going on a date
tonight. Say you want some alone time with me."
something to say, say it yourself. I'm not going to embarrass myself."
"Fine, I'll tell her." Aldor set aside his work and dialed Cordelia's number.
Aurora perked up, curious to see how Aldor would navigate this situation.
Once the call connected, Aldor stated, "Mrs. Kane Sr., can we skip dinner tonight? It's nothing major. It's just that there's a
festival today, and Aurora wants to go with me..."
Aurora's face darkened, 'Why is he throwing me under the bus?!'
She was about to erupt when Aldor fed her a piece of chocolate, smiling as he spoke into the phone, "Of course. I'll make sure
Aurora takes tons of pictures for you to see."
Aldorthen hung up.
Aurora swallowed the chocolate and clenched her teeth. "Shame on you, Aldor. How could you throw me under the bus just
because you're afraid of upsetting Grandma?" she asked.
employee. If I lie, I might lose my job. So, please bear with me, Ms. Kane."
"I can't believe Grandma said you're honest and sincere. She's completely off the mark. You're the most cunning person in the
entire company," said Aurora.
Aldor chuckled. "The fireworks at the event this year will be spectacular. Are you sure you're not interested?"
Aurora's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed. She said, "It's too late now. We haven't even finished work. Even if we go, we
won't get a good spot. There's no use thinking about it."
"I have a solution," Aldor suggested.
He then messaged Stella: [Mrs. Kane, are you attending the event at the wishing well this year?]
Stella promptly replied: [It'll be super crowded. I'll pass.].
Aldor texted back: [Ah. I thought you might want to show your gratitude, so I got some candles for you.]
Stella hesitated in replying to his text. Then, she quickly said: [Hold on.
Keep those items for me. I need to make a call.]
[Sure thing.]
Ten minutes later, Keegan got off work. The employees on the three floors cheered.
Soon, Aurora witnessed Aldor's computer lightened up with messages from a group chat, singing praises for his brilliance.
