The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 64

Leopold furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze landing on Aurelia before shifting to her, "Mind your titles, in the company, I'm your boss, nothing more."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, perfectly audible to Aurelia.

Ha, seems like the big boss is playing safe now.

She smirked, "Ms. Evelyn, you're new here, you don't yet understand Mr. Leopold's rules. Mr. Leopold makes a clear distinction between his personal and professional life, he values merit over connections and despises sycophancy. You better be careful, or you might leave a bad impression."

Evelyn's face turned pale, she was frantic inside. However, she quickly switched to a pitiful look, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leopold, I forgot for a moment. I'll be more careful in the future."

"At Astral Enterprises, competence is what matters most," Leopold retorted before heading to the elevator.

Aurelia stepped forward, following him inside, "Mr. Leopold, there's something I wanted to discuss with you."

Leopold gave her a slight nod, leading her to his office upstairs.

He settled into his chair, sipping his coffee, "What is it you wanted to discuss?"

Aurelia pursed her lips, nervously tapping her fingers and whispered, "I just wanted to know, why did you tear my drawing?"

He stiffened, his expression turning icy as if he was suddenly enveloped in a cold winter chill, "Are you here to confront me?"

"God no, I wouldn't dare." Aurelia shook her head in denial, "I just wanted to know what was wrong with the drawing that upset you. I'll be careful next time."

A cold light flashed in Leopold's eyes. He put his coffee mug down, stood up, and began walking towards her.

His imposing presence made her shudder, instinctively stepping back.

With every step he took forward, she took one back, until she was cornered with nowhere to go.

He towered over her, his tall figure imposing like a mountain, pinning her against the wall, "You're not allowed to draw other men in your sketches. If I see one, I'll rip it to shreds!"

His tone was chilling, leaving no room for argument.
