With her cunning nature, she was sure to keep an ace up her sleeve.
Aurelia offered a secretive smile, "That's a secret."
Leopold knitted his brows, "Don't you trust your boss?"
Trust him? Not a chance!
Aurelia admitted to herself, her trump card had to be played at the right time, if he leaked it to Evelyn, she'd be done for.
With a smirk, she shot back at Leopold, "Trust my boss? Of course, I do. I just want to surprise you. Spilling the beans too soon would ruin the suspense."
Leopold was indeed curious, for Aurelia's creativity was unique and often exceeded expectations.
"Well then, I'll look forward to it."
Aurelia took a sip of her water, wanting to ask if he knew about Evelyn's memorial event last night but swallowed her words.
He must be still grieving.
Best not to bring up such a sore subject.
This time, her phone buzzed. Jenny had sneakily sent a message on WhatsApp.
[Elowen was here, and she had slapped Evelyn the moment she walked in.]
She quickly tucked her phone back into her coat pocket.
"Mr. Leopold, I need to head back to my department. There are some matters I need to attend to."
How could she miss such a spectacle?
Back in the Design Department, Elowen was glaring furiously at Evelyn, "I am the chosen one of the Stirling family. The moment I was born, I was destined to marry Leopold. Your sister tried to fight me for him, defied fate, and was taken away by God. Do you want to follow in her footsteps and meet her?"
Despite being in the conference room, the door was ajar, and their voices drifted out.
Everyone had their ears pricked, listening to the drama unfolding inside.
Evelyn scoffed, "Everyone knows why my sister had an accident. You're well aware of that. Karma will catch up to you."
Hearing this, Aurelia, who was at the door, was stunned.
