The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 222

She hurriedly hopped onto Avery's Twitter and found out he'd already made a swift post to clarify, saying he'd moved on from the past and was now focused solely on his work and acting. He wasn't interested in dating, and as for Bonnie, he wished her well.

Aurelia took a sip of her coffee, preparing to call Arnold, when she noticed he'd already sent a message on WhatsApp, [Don't worry about Avery, Serenity Films will handle it.]

[Thanks!] she replied, sending a heart emoji.

She was truly lucky to have a good friend like Arno, it was like having a sturdy oak to shelter under!

During the weekly Monday meeting, Louis brought good news – the 'Eternal Love' series continued to see growing sales, and it was predicted that it would soon break the sales record of 'Secret.'

Leopold lounged in his chair, propping his forehead with his left hand, his face expressionless as if he was wearing an icy mask. Only his eyes were deep, like an ancient well, unfathomable. He didn't listen to a word of Louis's report because he was in a bad mood.

Last night, he had a nightmare that Aurelia had disappeared. He searched everywhere, but he couldn't find her! Unconsciously, his gaze fixated on Aurelia, a dark, locked gaze as if he was afraid she would vanish if he blinked.

This subtle reaction was keenly noticed by everyone in the meeting room.

Could it be that Mr. Leopold was waiting for Aurelia to back down and voluntarily withdraw from the competition for the director's position?

Evelyn thought so, flipping her shoulder-length hair with a smug look in her eyes.

She had anticipated this outcome, there was no suspense. Only Kevin knew that the boss was distracted.

In the morning, as soon as he got in the car, he noticed the chill in the air, probably due to Mr. Leopold’s another squabble with Ms. Aurelia.

After Louis finished his report, he timely interjected, "Manager Aurelia, how's 'Destiny' coming along?"

Leopold instantly snapped back to reality, shifted his gaze, picked up his cup, took a sip of his coffee, hiding all the unusual emotions behind the rim of the cup.
