The moment Aurelia stepped into the office, she was greeted by an icy atmosphere that felt akin to stepping into a meat locker.
The boss was in a bad mood. No, it was worse than that. She must be careful
"Mr. Leopold, you wanted to see me?" she cautiously asked.
Whenever he was in a foul mood, he wouldn't take it out on Evelyn, he'd use Aurelia as his punching bag. It was so unfair.
Leopold picked up his coffee mug on the desk and took a long swig, trying to swallow down his anger.
"Did you explain everything to Jolin yesterday?"
Aurelia pursed her lips, her voice as calm as a gentle breeze, "I did. I told her everything. I explained it was a medical accident, and that our marriage was a contract. Once the baby is born, we'll divorce and go back to our normal lives."
Leopold jerked because this wasn't what he'd hoped to hear. He was taken aback by her blatant honesty.
His anger flamed even more, threatening to burst out of his chest like a rampant volcano.
He held back his anger and asked, “did you see Arnold?”“Did you see Arnold as well?"
"Yes." She sat down on the couch, deliberately displaying a relaxed demeanor, "Arnold is so wonderful. He disregarded his reputation and took all the blame for me. Now everyone thinks the baby is his. Our secret is safe and so are the babies. After the babies are born, you should thank Arnold."
Leopold was very angry inside.
