Chapter 77 Maybe Sion Wanted Her to Be Gone For Good

Moonlight of the summer night was extraordinarily bright. Night seemed to be shorter and it was already dawn.

Sion had waited for Aurora on the couch for a whole night but she wasn't home yet. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted and indifferent. Even he couldn't tell what he wanted to hear by waiting fo her for a whole night.

He knew Aurora and Albie loved each other and they had always remembered one another deep in heart for so many years. They hanged out to the bar, had fun and told how much they loved and missed each other. Besides, they might go somewhere else to have an intercourse. What had they done for the whole night? Sion closed his eyes, managed his emotions and turned around to get out of the room.

It was daybreak when Aurora woke up. It took her quite a while to think of where she was. Fortunately, she was well-dressed and then sighed with relief.

Albie knocked at the door and asked with concern, "Aurora, are you awake?"

"Oh... Albie! Yeah, I'm up!" Not until then did Aurora realize Albie had saved her in the bar last night and taken her home. Gee! That was pretty close! She got out of the bed quickly and ran to open the door barefoot, "Good morning, Albie."

Albie took a look at her bare feet and complained, "Why don't you put on your shoes? It's cold on the floor."

"Oh... I forgot." She returned to put on her slippers and said, "Thanks for saving me, Albie."

"Fortunately, I made it there just in time!" Albie flicked her head softly, "Don't hang out to those places again. It's dangerous."

"I know. Actually, I didn't go to bars a lot. It was just an accident."

Sion had given her a hard time yesterday, which had pissed her. Albie read her mind instantly and said, "Wash up and go downstairs for breakfast. I've made you some hot beverage to deal with the hangover. I'll talk to you later."

Aurora followed him out and asked, "Talk about what?"

"Um, what happened yesterday... Probably, it wasn't like what you've thought." Albie pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go wash up first. You're smelling like alcohol." He sounded like he was disgusted with her but in fact, he looked at her with dearly love.

"OK. Wait for me downstairs." Saying it, she rushed into the bathroom.

It took less than ten minutes for her to wash up and dress herself up. When she came downstairs, she found the hot beverage and breakfast ready on the dinning table. She was starving and began pigging

out.

Albie saw her eating like a horse and passed a napkin to her, "Slow down. Don't get choked." He paused and changed the topic, "Whatever Mr. Carroll has said in the meeting room yesterday, just don't take it to heart."

Hearing it, Aurora was nearly choked with food. She drank off a glass of water and swallowed the food, "I... Surely, I won't take it to heart. He's the Party A. We shouldn't doubt his words." She couldn't sass back and proved he was wrong even if he was just replaceing fault with her.

Albie knew she was lying and said helplessly, "What I meant is you probably have made a mistake. But, you didn't mean to."

"I've checked the project plan carefully again after I came back yesterday. The new product of the season aims at high-end and luxurious market, but clearly, your design has focused on general public. You've even considered the problems like pricing the finished products. And, the materials you've chosen are way too common. Apparently, this isn't what they want."

Aurora stared at him unbelievably and was lost for words for a while, "What? So, you mean my design is wrong in the first place? I've made a mistake in the market orientation?" Albie nodded, "Yeah, I'm afraid so. You're not a newbie in the field and you're not supposed to have mistaken the product orientation. Think about it and figure out what went wrong."

It was a big blow to her. Aurora put down the fork and knife, and licked her mouth. She thought it over and over, and very soon, she figured out what had gone wrong.

At first, Ava told her the design of the new product would target at general public, and it was the most essential part to make things special based on the most common elements. And Ava had also given her the materials.

Ava was nice and said she would help win the project. Aurora didn't think Ava was two-faced and just trusted her. So, she didn't confirm the details herself. To sum up, Ava had played some dirty tricks to set he up first, but all in all, Aurora should also take the blame for her own negligence.

Albie looked at her sad face, tapped on the table and said, "Now you know why Mr. Carroll has denied your design, right? But I'm also to be blamed. I've checked your design first but didn't replace anything wrong." Speaking of it, he smile and looked at her with determination, "Probably, your design is too amazing to make me ignore other things."

"Don't make excuses for me, Albie. The point is, I've fallen for Ava's lies!"

She got furious when she thought of Ava. However, she was kinda relieved when she knew she had got Sion wrong, and she wasn't upset any more. Sion acted like a jerk yesterday, but there was a good reason. He didn't mean to replace fault with her on purpose.

Now that she found out the problem, Aurora regained her confidence. She took a deep breath and her eyes brightened up, "Don't worry, Albie. I'll work hard on it this time, and no one is gonna take advantage of me again! I'm still the chief designer. Nobody can take my place!"

"Good for you!" Albie saw it and stopped worrying. After all, Aurora was a top designer.

But Aurora came up with something else. Why couldn't Sion just talk to her nicely even if she had misunderstood the product orientation? Why must he embarrass her in public and why must he be so mean to her? Was it because she had let him down? Or something else? Aurora couldn't figure it out and sighed lightly.

Albie thought she was bothered with the design and cheered her up with a smile, "What's that sigh for? The Aurora I know will definitely face up to it. Start over. I believe you can do it!" Aurora nodded heavily and agreed with Albie. She must prove she was worthy of her name when people doubted it. Sion couldn't be picky with her again once she did well enough!

A moment later,, Albie put down the fork and knife and said softly, "Finish your breakfast. I'll go get changed. Later we'll go to the office together."

"OK." said Aurora.

Actually, she was almost done. She hesitated to turn on her phone after Albie went upstairs. She thought Sion might have contacted her since she wasn't home last night. After all, this was the first time that she had stayed out all night since she moved into Carroll Manor. She checked her Facebook, text messages and the latest calls, but found nothing from Sion. So, she must have flattered herself. She was gone for only one night, and Sion just didn't give a shit. Or, maybe he wanted her to be gone for good?
