Chapter 200
By the time Aurelia got back, it was nearing the end of the workday. Upon receiving a call from thesecretary, she made her way towards the CEO's office.
Pushing open the door, she tiptoed in, sneaking a quick glance at the man seated behind the desk.He was engrossed in sending an email, his face expressionless, his emotions unreadable.
After all these days, his anger should've subsided, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have summonedher.
“Mr. Leopold, you wanted to see me?” she asked.
Leopold paused his typing, his gaze cold and piercing as it swept across her face, “How's thepreparation for “Destiny’?"
“It's in production, everything's going smoothly,” she responded carefully.
He leaned back in his office chair, propping his forehead with his hand, “Do you think we can beatEthereal
Aurelia opened the box, revealing a pair of cufflinks.
“I spent the entire night designing these, and then had them made at the factory. Pretty nice,right?”
She grinned, her dimples dancing on her cheeks.
Leopold watched her, his eyes shimmering with intrigue.
His irritation seemed to evaporate instantly, leaving no trace behind.
She had traveled all the way to the factory just to make him a gift?
Well, that showed some sincerity!
“What's the idea behind these?”
The cufflinks didn't match. Weren't they supposed to be a pair?
Aurelia smirked mysteriously, “The one with the blue gemstone represents Earth, the one with theyellow stone represents the moon. They orbit each other, forever inseparable. I should've useddiamonds, but I'm too poor to afford them. So, I used common gemstones instead. But it still costme a small fortune.”
She added quickly, “I paid for it with my own salary, not your money.”
Leopold couldn't help but chuckle.
His deep, resonant laugh echoed in the room.
For someone as stingy as her, this indeed was a significant expense. It wouldn't be easy for her.Aurelia stared at him in surprise. This was the second time she had seen him laugh.
He was handsome, like a night-blooming cereus, brief but precious.
Realizing he had let his guard down, he quickly composed himself. His smile disappeared asabruptly as it had come.
With a swift move, he reached out, encircled her waist, and pulled her into his arms, his hand restingon her lower abdomen.
