Chapter 52
The Sage Group held a meeting near the end of the workday, attended by Naomi and all the directors and executives.
When Elias saw that everyone had arrived, he cleared his throat and said, “I’ve called you all here today to discuss something, Aurora doesn’t have a job and dorsalt want to just sit at home as a rich wife, so I’m thinking of having her join the company. I’m not saying she’ll take over the company in the future, but at least she should get to understand the company’s operations. Does anyone have any objections!
The people exchanged looks, and a frail man in his fifties spoke up. “She doesn’t know anything, and she’s your daughter. What position do you plɔn to assign her”
meant she couldn’t hold a high–level position, and being Elus’s daughter meant she couldn’t start from the bottom
Tacking any knowledge me
With no position fining for her, he waveunnus to see what Elias would say nrsi
“Me Sage, if you want in place someone here, none of us have any objections. However, there isn’t a suitable position for Miss Sage in the company. Perhaps it’s best to forget about in
I think so. The company doesn’t have a suitable position for her. Besides, what can she even do? She’s never been exposed to any of this from childhood bi she?”
JMr. Sage, you can’t gamble with the future o
of Sage Group!”
At first they politely declined, going along with his words, but eventually, they expressed their disagreement without holding back.
They were not only rejecting Aurora but also rejecting Elias’s idea alsogether.
Ehas expression turned cold, and he snapped. “Don’t forget what she has contributed to Sage Group?”
Although Sage Group was a semi–family–owned business. Elias still had to be mindful of others feelings when speaking
Everyone knew to some extent that Aurora had initially refused to marry Maverick. As for why she suddenly agreed, it could only be because Elias had commed her.
“Now, do you still think she has no right to work at Sage Group?”
e company, but no one could say anything
Everyone looked at each other. No one dared to make a sound. They did not agree to let Aurora enter the c now. Otherwise, they would be ingrates.
At this moment, a clear female voice sounded. It was Naomi. “I believe she has the right to work at Sage Group, but we need to carefully consider what position she should hold. Mr. Sage, you are right. Not to mention what Aurora has contributed to the company, we have placed quite a few prople in our company ourselves.”
She added, “Everyone, don’t be in a hurry to refute me. We’re all well aware of these matters, and we’ve never openly discussed them before. From this perspective alone, we don’t have the right to refuse Aurora to join the company?
As soon as Naomi spoke, the room fell sil
silent, with no one able to counter her words.
Elias glanced around, giving Naomi an appreciative look, then turned to the others and asked, “So, who here disagrees with Aurora joining the company!”
At that moment, raising a hand would make one a target, so naturally, no one dared to express their “disagree” opinion.
With that, the matter of Aurora joining the company was settled. No one coulil say a word against it.
Nami returned to her office with a sinister smile on her face.
Siner she couldn’t stop Aurora from entering the company, she would go along with it. She was curious to see if Elias could still protect Aurora when the eventually failed
Her eyes Laded on a birdcage umament on the file cabines, and suddenly, a new idea came to her mind.
Maverick had been busy outside all day, and only now did he have a moment to think about Aurora, who was waiting for him at home
If it weren’t for the meeting at the company, he would have gone on a date with her.
Feeling a bit guilty, he decided to head home as soon as the work was done.
As soon as
soon as he opened the door, a faint seent of jasmine wafted through the air.
Looking up, he saw a small flower basket on the shoe cabinet, filled with a heap of delicate white petals, the fragrance emanating from it
“After changing has shoes, he walked inside and noticed another basket of petals on the coffee table.
Chapter 32
On the dining table, there was a white porcelain vase filled with white baby’s breath and a few fresh, delicate, prach–pink roses.
On the parton, somethify late ornaments added a c
Lenry touch.
The light fixture above had been replaced with one shaped like a cloud, and if it weren’t for the familiar large furniture, he almost would have thought he’d walked into the wrong house.
He put down his keys, loosened his tie, and began searching for his wife. To his surprise, he found a small hanging chair on the balcony. The from of the chair was facing away from him, but he could ser a black tail sticking out from underneath.
The walked over and saw that Aurora was curled up in the hanging chair, her delicate face partly visible, with her forehead fished from sleep
She was wearing a bunny–car pajama, and surprisingly, she was holding a set of cat–ear pajamas in her arms. The black tail that had just fallen beneath the hanging chair was from the cat–car pajamas
The motion of the chair woke Aurora up. She rubbed her eyes and turned over, looking at the man in front of her with a dazed expression.
When her gave me the familiar eyes, she immediately jumped up in shock. “Why are you back so early”
She glanced outside it wasn’t even dark yei
She hadn’t fully woken up and hadn’t prepared the candlelit dinner for him.
Maverick gulped as he took a step back, creating some distance between them. “It’s not early anymore”
Having wrapped up the meeting and returned, it was clear that it was already past eight o’clock.
Aurora blinked a few times, trying to regain her composure.
She had been in such a deep sleep that she hadn’t heard the sound of him opening the door, nor had she realized he had come back.
She didn’t know what to do now.
She thought for a moment, then pushed Maverick aside and flipped
flipped over. “You go take a shower first,
- st. I’ll make dinner for you”
As she moved, the rabbit–themed pajama revealed a delicate stretch of her neck. He reached out, pulling her waist closer, inhaling the scent of her hair. He couldn’t resist leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her “Get the bathtub ready”
Aurora was a bit puzzled. He was a grown man, but he wanted her to prepare it.
She looked back into his eyes. “Then you’ll cook for me?”
“Let the maid do it” Maverick released his hold and strode upstairs.
Aurora stomped her foot behind him, her face flushed with embarrassment as she headed upstairs to fill the bathtub.
She didn’t believe he would ask her to do this.
She was not at all fond of this behavior.
Although frustrated, Aurora didn’t delay and kept checking the water temperature, almost taking a thermometer to measure it
Maverick finished changing clothes and came out, while Aurora was still squatting by the bathtub testing the water temperature
Her small body looked even smaller beside the bathtub,
It didn’t take long for the tub to fill up with water.
She turned off the tap and stood up, but someone suddenly grabbed her hand “Let’s bathe together”
Maverick couldn’t wait any longer. He thought his injury had headed by now, and if he moved gently.
y, it wouldn’t be a problent
“Bath together?” Aurora’s cheeks quickly flushed as the thought of some rather unseemly images
That night, neither of them ate dinner.
Noticing the unusual timing, the maid quickly prepared the meal. However, the couple had already embraced each other and made their way into
the bedroom.
She didn’t want to disturb them, so she pretended as if nothing had happened and went on with her cleaning duties
