Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Now that she’d come to terms with it, Tessa knew she couldn’t let things keep going smoothly for Aurora.

She needed to start planning for her own future.

Sitting nearby with a soft, pleasant smile, Tessa appeared to everyone else like the embodiment of warmth and grace.

But to Aurora, it felt unsettling.

That smile of Tessa’s reeked of falsehood–she was definitely up to something.

Aurora’s eyes flickered with a trace of coldness, but she pushed down the feeling and stayed quiet.

After breakfast, Grace and Aurora shared a car to the office.

The ride was surprisingly pleasant, as if last night’s tension had completely evaporated.

Aurora liked this kind of peaceful interaction, and she didn’t have the heart to ruin the rare calm.

Unfortunately, the moment didn’t last long, before she knew it, they had arrived.

Each went to her own office and got to work.

Aurora was already well–versed in most of the company’s operations.

The only thing left on her plate was evaluating Leonard’s design capabilities.

If they could strike a partnership with him, Walton Corporation’s design edge in Ravenshore would reach a whole new level.

Aurora threw herself fully into work.

Tomorrow was the final deadline Leonard had given her.

Meanwhile, Wendy arrived at Seafront Corporation, dressed in a custom designer outfit, with flawless makeup and stilettos: clicking confidently against the floor.

Seafront was one of the top architecture firms in Ravenshore, and more importantly, a direct rival of the Walton family’s

company.

That was something Wendy had made sure to confirm before stepping through the door.

Over the past few days, even though Aurora hadn’t returned, Lucas‘ attitude toward her had clearly shifted.

He was colder, more distant.

That woman. She wasn’t even around anymore, yet she still managed to keep his heart wrapped around her little finger.

How was Wendy supposed to accept that?

The manager spotted her the moment she walked in.

Her striking outfit and refined aura made it easy to guess who she was.

“You must be Miss Wendy Shaws?”

Wendy lifted her chin with a haughty expression. “That’s right. And you are? I’m here to complete my onboarding.”

The manager gave a sycophantic smile. “I’m the one handling your onboarding, Miss Shaws. Please, come with me.”

Wendy slipped on her sunglasses and walked beside him toward the office.

The rest of the office was abuzz, eyes discreetly following them.

Soft murmurs spread across the room.

“Hey, check her out–dressed head to toe in designer brands. What’s someone like that doing in a place like this?”

“Probably some rich kid playing office.”

“Exactly. And have you ever seen the manager act like that with anyone else? Talk about sucking up.

A woman applying makeup spoke lazily, not even looking up.
