The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 121

"Don't worry, it's on me." Elowen responded with a hearty slap on her chest. When it came to dealing with Evelyn, she was always willing to step up.

Aurelia grinned mischievously.

Evelyn had backed her into a corner, and she wouldn't just sit there and take it.

What she was doing today might be a bit underhanded, but for the sake of the team, she had to go all in.

Desperate times called for desperate measures.

She couldn't let down the people who trusted her!

Their livelihoods were all tied to her!

After two cans of beer, Elowen was completely drunk, slumping onto the table without moving a muscle.

Aurelia was dumbfounded.

Shouldn't Ms. Elowen at least bring a bodyguard when she goes out? What now?

Rubbing her forehead, she mulled over her options and decided to call the big boss.

"Mr. Leopold, I'm at the near Italian Restaurant with Ms. Elowen, she's had a bit too much to drink. Can you send someone to pick her up? And...could you also settle the bill?"

There was silence on the other end of the line, before a cold voice responded, "Understood."

Soon enough, Kevin arrived, paid the bill, and helped Elowen into the car.

"Manager Aurelia, Mr. Leopold wants you to go to his office when you get back."

"Oh." Aurelia shrank back, already guessing that the big boss was planning to reprimand her. She could almost feel a chill coming from the phone.

Back at the office, she sent Leopold a message on WhatsApp.

[Mr. Leopold, I've already been to your office this morning. I think it might be inappropriate for me to go again this afternoon. Can we just chat on WhatsApp instead?]

There was no response for a long time, so she assumed he didn't want to bother with her.

She smirked. She wasn't a fool. Why would she willingly go and get scolded?

But she forgot: Leopold had all the time in the world to deal with her. There was no escaping!

Upon returning to her apartment, she found Leopold sitting on the couch, his expression cold and gloomy.
