After the weekly meeting, Aurelia made her way to the CEO's office.
Leopold was lounging in his executive chair, his voice lazily drifting across the room, “Good timing. Can you make me a cup of coffee?”
Aurelia shot him a playful side-eye and made him a cup of cappuccino. This time, she decorated the froth with ‘$’, a symbol of wealth.
“Mr. Leopold, you had someone outbid me for my necklace at the auction. Quite the double whammy, not only did you win over Elvis, but you also increased my value, creating anticipation for my new product.”
After the auction, he increased the price of his new product multiple times. Clearly, this was a calculated move on his part.
He truly was cunning, just like the fox.
Leopold glanced at his cup, a smirk playing on his lips, “So, you should behave.”
Aurelia was taken aback, “Have you heard about Katie's stand-in? There was an accident.”
His slender fingers tapped twice on the table, “You're quite well-informed.”
Aurelia settled into the couch, a mischievous glint in her eyes, “Do you think it was an accident or someone was trying to get rid of Katie?”
Leopold's smirk disappeared, his expression turning serious, “I'll handle it. You stay out of it.”
This annoyed her because he always had this tone with her.
“Can you be honest with me? Is Katie's child yours?”
