Chapter 378
“Ifello, you can’t park here. You’ve been here for quite a while. This is a ticket,”
Josephi looked a little embarrassed but still reached out to take the ticket,
The officer glanced at Judy’s swollen lips and couldn’t help adding, “Next time, do that kind of thing at home. It’s not appropriate in public.”
With that, he turned and left, leaving Joseph and Judy staring at each other.
Joseph, catching sight of her reddened lips again, looked a bit flustered. He wouldn’t even have noticed if the officer hadn’t pointed it out.
Judy’s face was already burning red.
“Let’s just go home,” she said quickly,
This was the most mortifying situation imaginable. She couldn’t stand being there a second longer.
All she could think about was diving into a hole in the ground if one opened up. Anything to avoid standing here with Joseph,
Seeing how shy she looked, Joseph’s smile deepened. “Alright, let’s go.”
Judy gave a soft “Mm” and sat back properly.
Joseph never stopped smiling. Even though Judy wasn’t as striking as Aurora, she was obedient. That alone pleased him more than he cared to admit.
Back home, the two of them picked up right where they’d left off in the car.
Everything unfolded naturally.
Meanwhile, Aurora sat on a bench by the sea, a can of beer beside her.
She held another bottle in her hand, lifting it to her lips for a swig.
Right now, one question kept circling in her mind should she still go back to that company?
Or rather, in what capacity was she supposed to go back now?
After everything Grace said, Aurora no longer had the dignity to return to the company.
More than anything, she didn’t even know how to face Grace or the board of executives anymore,
She let out a long breath and took another swig of beer.
The sharp burn of alcohol scraped down her throat, only then did she feel truly alive.
It had been quite a while, yet her phone remained silent.
To say she wasn’t hurt would be a lie.
She’d thought Grace would at least send a message, that maybe she’d just been messing with her.
But now, Aurora realized it had all been wishful thinking.
She was only lying to herself.
The thought made her let out a bitter smile.
Suddenly, a shrill ringtone snapped her out of her spiraling thoughts.
Her heart leapt, thinking it might be Grace.
But when she picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, the light in her eyes dimmed.
“Hello, Leonard, what is it?”
Leonard didn’t catch the exhaustion in her voice.
