Chapter 236 A Call From Albie
Aurora did not show up in the underground parking lot. Nevaeh stomped her feet angrily.
"Why aren't she here?"
Nevaeh kicked the tire next to her, which caused the siren of the car to blare. Her irritation and fury
were ignited by that sound.
The man glanced at the watch, puzzled, "Could it be your flight information was wrong?"
"How could it be?"
She was confident about that because she had paid to get the information.
"I did confirm a couple of times that she boarded that flight."
It was confusion in the man's eyes. After a while of silence, he raised his head and asked, "Did she
suspect something?"
"Suspect what?" Nevaeh had a stern look. The anger in her seemed to be fanned by his words.
"If she suspected something, you must have revealed something to her. Or how can't she be here
now?"
"I am discreet." The man retorted, thinking that there were few mistakes he made in all these years
when he had been helping her.
Snap!
Nevaeh slapped him in the face and yelled frantically, "Discreet? If you were, she wouldn't have come
back alive!"
She found him annoying. The slap did not relieve her wrath, so she punched and kicked him with her
purse, taking out her anger on him.
"If it weren't for your incompetence, she would have been dead long ago."
"It's all your fault!"
The man just stood immobile and took her beating, while his eyes betrayed him. For the sake of
money, he could endure everything.
After a few minutes, Nevaeh was tired of beating but her anger subsided a lot.
"You know well, it can not be blamed on us. She didn't show up here, but I do not think something has
gone wrong. I understand you're angry. But..." He seized the chance to raise another point. He glanced
at Nevaeh and continued, "Remember to transfer the balance."
Nevaeh snorted, "Still want the money?"
"Not a penny until it's done!"
She gave him a ferocious stare, with her arms around her chest in a high and mighty manner.
The man got anxious, "I said, we are not to blame for it."
"Should I have myself to blame for that?"
Nevaeh looked askance at him as if she was disgusted by his gold-digging look.
"Since I paid you, you should get things done before you get the money. I'm not doing charity."
The man narrowed his eyes with his mouth shut, secretly taking a note in his heart. He had helped her
do so many heartless things in the past few years, but she never treated them as human beings.
"Fine. let me know when you're ready to do it." Nevaeh carried her purse, turned around and said, "You
do your job well, and I will have the money ready for you."
Then, she left without looking back.
He looked at her back and unhappily spat.
"Cunt! Who do you think you are!"
Aurora had been very careful when going out since she knew the evildoers appeared again, and she
also explained to Theodore to let him not go out casually. But the strange thing was, they hadn't made
the next move yet. After a couple of tense days, she gradually let go of that matter.
"Queen, a magazine wants to do an interview with you for Time Gold Medal, would you..." Anna took
the file in her hand and passed it to Aurora.
"Turn it down." Aurora didn't look up, "Everyone is looking at that contest?"
"Yeah." Anna laughed, "You won the competition, and even T-shine has taken a hit off you. I heard that
Mr Doyle's office has been filled with people asking for cooperation."
The Time Gold Medal was a well-known competition around the globe, and Queen's reputation had
gained in stature through the award. And as her partner, T-shine built its reputation through this event
as well.
Aurora blew on the drawing paper and smiled, "That's a good thing."
After all, she wished all the best for her brother's company.
Anna saw that her boss was in a good mood and she continued in a light-hearted tone, "Then I'll go
and reply now."
"Go ahead."
When Anna just walked out of the office, Aurora's phone rang. It was a call from Albie, who had been
mentioned by them a few seconds ago.
Aurora put down the design paper and picked it up, "Hi, Albie, I was just talking to Anna about you, and
you called me."
Albie could feel that she was smiling and he said while smiling too, "What did you talk about me?"
"About how you've been having a great time lately!"
Albie laughed, "Are you free tonight? I'd like to meet up with you."
"Sure. I shouldn't have anything to do tonight."
"Then I'll have someone pick you up tonight at 7."
Before she could say no, Albie said again, "That's it. No objection today."
"All right. Then I'll see you tonight." Aurora thought Albie was weird today but she didn't overthink it.
"See you tonight."
Albie hung up the phone. Looking at the smiling girl on his screensaver, the tenderness in his eyes
seemed to be seeping out.
He was quite excited about spending the night with her.
"Mr Doyle,"
Cory's voice sounded at the door. Albie put away his phone and calmly looked up, "Everything
prepared?"
"Yes, the scene is almost set up as you requested."
"Hmm." A sense of tension suddenly arose in Albie's heart. And he said, "I'll go check it out later, there
are some things I have to do personally."
The breeze was cool at night by the riverside. Around an eye-catching site decorated with flowers,
many passersby were gathering there. With those white and blue roses, the place seemed to be a
romantic paradise, attracting countless people to take pictures of it. Whispers could be heard that the
lady who was proposed to was so lucky.
Albie had someone stage the scene for a day and he did not hide it from the public. Many people saw
the pictures online and rushed over here.
There was a circle of bodyguards around to keep people from coming up and ruining it.
Aurora was still a bit confused when she arrived there with Cory.
"Albie is attending an event?"
Cory gave her an odd look, "Please wait a moment, Miss Robertson. Mr Doyle will answer your
question in person later."
Then he retreated with a mysterious look.
Surrounded by a lot of people, Aurora was standing in the flashing lights of cameras. At this moment, Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
she was the centre of attention.
She looked around and found that there was even someone streaming. She got somewhat nervous
with a bad feeling.
The floor was covered with roses, on which there was a bear made of blue and white roses. And
behind the bear, there was a huge "heart". Besides, every corner was also carefully designed.
"Why does it look like a proposal scene?" Aurora thought.
