Chapter 67 Business Partners
“Nonsense.”
Wenny gritted her teeth and felt that the people around her were laughing at her.
At that moment, a cold figure walked out of the elevator. Behind him was Carter.
“Since he’s here, you can ask him yourself.” Aurora raised her chin calmly as if it was none of her
business.
“Zac, what did she mean?” Wenny pulled Zac’s arm, her eyes red. “Everything between you and her should have been over!”
From the day Aurora went to jail a year ago, Zac should have nothing to do with her anymore.
Aurora casually grabbed the melon seeds on the table. She hadn’t had dinner and felt a bit hungry
now.
“I’ll tell you later. Tomorrow is Fashion Week. Go back to your room and rest early.” Zac pacified Wenny.
“But…”
Wenny still wanted to say something, but Zac had already taken off her hand.
Wenny raised her head and saw Zac’s cold gaze. She had no choice but to reply, “Alright, I see.”
Wenny suppressed the confusion and sadness in her heart and glanced at Aurora before entering
the elevator.
Traces of complicated emotions were hidden in Wenny’s eyes.
Aurora didn’t take it seriously and continued to enjoy the melon seeds in her hand.
Zac walked straight to Aurora and said, “I asked Carter to arrange a room for you.”
“Thank you.”
Aurora beamed. “I will do my best tomorrow.”
“You’d better.” Zac fixed his gaze on Aurora’s face.
Carter walked up and placed the room card on Aurora’s palm. “I booked it in Mr. Buchanna’s name.”
Aurora narrowed her eyes and kept the card.
Zac wanted to ask Wenny why she did not choose money back then. Before he could say anything, he saw Terry running in from outside. Terry grabbed Aurora’s shoulder and looked at her carefully. “Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
His anxiety and nervousness were clearly shown on his face.
To bail Aurora, Terry hadn’t slept for the entire night. Now, his face was haggard. Seeing that
Aurora was fine, Terry finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t do that anymore, okay?” Terry pulled Aurora into his arms and said in a low voice.
No one knew how Terry felt during the one year when Aurora was in jail.
Every day, he practiced crazily on the racing field. Only in this way could he have no time to think
about her.
“Don’t worry, I won’t go to jail again,” said Aurora, patting Terry on the back before pausing for a
moment.
“How did you…”
Before he could finish his words, Terry noticed Zac, who was standing next to him. Terry frowned. “He bailed you?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Buchanna and I are now business partners, although it won’t last for a long time,” Aurora admitted.
“Stay away from her. I warn you!” Terry said as he turned around and glared at Zac.
Zac kept his cool. He just said, “Keep your promise.”
With that, he turned and went upstairs.
“What did you promise him? Did he threaten you?” Terry frowned, worried that Aurora would be
hurt by Zac again.
“It’s nothing. Not a big deal.”
As soon as Aurora finished speaking, she saw Sara walk in from outside.
“Aurora, welcome back.” Sara almost couldn’t keep her smile. “I’ve put away all your things. Which room are you staying in now? I’ll take them over to you!”
Aurora ridiculed, “Ms. Jarrett, others might misunderstand that we are good friends.”
“Aurora, you must have misunderstood me. I never said those words!” Sara hurriedly said, “Terry knows that. I’ve been begging my father to get someone to bail you out.”
“Indeed. If it weren’t for the Jarrett family, we wouldn’t have found a lawyer.” Terry nodded.
“Then thank you.” Aurora raised her eyebrows and took out the room card that Zac had given her just now. “1505. Right now. Take all my things to this room. I won’t let you off easily if anything is
missed.”
Around them were Malon’s employees who heard all this.
Considering Aurora’s cold attitude towards Sara, the people around began to discuss again.
“Aurora is such an ungrateful woman. Sara did all she could to help this woman. But see how Aurora treats Sara?”
“Is that man the young heir of the Walton family? He seems to be Sara’s blind date. Why is he so close to Aurora? A love triangle?”.
Sara was so angry that her face turned red.
“Alright, I’ll get them to you right away.”
Then, with tears in her eyes, Sara ran into the elevator.
With a cold face, Aurora looked at Terry and said, “I’ve already forgiven her once for your sake.”
Terry was at a loss for words.
He trusted Aurora, and after a long time, he nodded. “Just do what you like.”
Anyway, he had no intention of dating Sara.
Aurora ordered some food at the reception and it was all on Zac.
Ten minutes later.
Zac learned that he had a huge expense on food because of Aurora.
“What did she order tonight?”
“Lobster fried noodles, abalone soup, crab, fish, and so on. She ordered all the pricey food in this restaurant.” Carter pushed up his frame glasses. The food ordered by Aurora tonight could even stuff five men.
“Forget it, it’ll only be two days at most. Just let her do what she likes,” said Zac.
Zac thought that after the Bennet family went bankrupt, Aurora had no chance of tasting these delicacies.
Zac rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working when he heard that the room next door was bustling with noise and cheers. That was Aurora’s room.
“What’s she doing?”
“Ms. Bennet invited Malon’s employees to dinner in her room. Except for Sara, she invited
everyone,” answered Carter.
Zac’s face sank. Did Aurora treat others with his money?
Zac arranged for Aurora to stay in the room next to him, to keep an eye on her at all times so that
she would not set him up.
Unexpectedly, it was he who made things difficult for himself.
“Mr. Buchanna, I’ll tell them to keep their voices down.”
Zac pulled off his tie and frowned in frustration. “No need,” he said.
Zac took his coat and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Aurora drinking and cheering in the next room. What was more, she seemed to be singing.
The door was slightly open.
From the crack, Zac could see Aurora happily jumping on the sofa.
He had never seen Aurora like that.
If it were in the past, Zac would have contemptuously thought that Aurora had gone crazy because of the Bennet family’s bankruptcy.
Now, Zac had to admit that his opinion of Aurora had changed.
Zac narrowed his eyes. Although he had been accidentally trapped by Aurora this time, Aurora was still calculating enough in every move she took. She had used all her connections and finally achieved her goal.
Zac didn’t think anyone could smile after bankruptcy and jail life. Aurora was truly an exception.
Sara carried Aurora’s bag and walked out of the elevator. She saw Zac standing at Aurora’s door, looking inside.
Then she thought of something.
Sara plucked up her courage and walked over. “Hello, Mr. Buchanna. I’m the heir of the Jarrett Group. My name is Sara.”
“What’s the matter?” asked coldly, Zac retracted his gaze and glanced at Sara.
22
Just these words caused Sara to tremble.
When Sara was on the plane, she felt that something weird existed between Zac and Aurora.
Sara felt that Wenny was not a match for Aurora, so it was better to let Aurora and Zac rekindle their old relationship so that Sara had a chance to date Terry.
Thinking of this, Sara revealed a friendly smile.
“This is Aurora’s bag. Mr. Buchanna, could you help hand it to her?”
