Loving You All Over Again (Aurora and Maverick) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

“What job do you prelet!” James asked.

After a moment of thought. Aurora answered, “Not the important one. One that I can dawdle away my time with. You know that I don’t like challenges”

Although Aurora had said so, James wouldn’t make her an office boy. When the discussion about Aurora’s job proceeded. Naomi at the door felt a chill down her spine.

Naomi thought to herself. The company is my teritory, so I won’t let Aurora set foot on it. She refused to go to work, so why

She felt that she was losing control of everything and that Auraro had a drastic change after the kidnapping.

When Naomi was thinking about how to stop Aurora from joming the company, there came a cold voice from behind.

“What are you

are you doing here?” Maverick asked.

The moment he reached the second floor, he saw Naomi lingering at the door of the study and then heard Aurora’s voice from inside the room Instantly, he was convinced that Naomi was eavesdropping on the conversation inside the study.

Ho Maverick, and said, “Nothing. I came up

His loud voice alerted James and Aurora in the study, Naomi straightened her back, waved her hand to here for something

James asked after he followed Aurora out of the room, “Naomi, what’s up? Is it time for lunch!”

His casual question became a good excuse for Naomi. “Yes, it is time for lunch. I came to invite you and Aurora downstairs for lunch. Mr. Parker. why did you come upstairs? Naomi asked.

She got herself off the hook and made Maverick the focus of attention, Maverick saw through Naomi’s trick, so he replied with his gaze on Aurora I came to see my wife. Any problem?”

After the exchange of a look with Maverick, Aurora knew that Naomi had eavesdropped on her conversation with James. Not her first eavesdropping under this roof. Naomi must be curious about my conversation with Grandpa since we have stayed in the study for such a long time. Moreover, Grandpa was just back from his trip around the world. Aurora thought.

She shifted her gaze away from Naomi, walked up to Maverick, and said, “Naomi, if so, why didn’t you knock on the door! Your inaction may give rise to misunderstanding that you want to eavesdrop on my chat with Grandpa

James face darkened in an instant because the trifle at home might become a disgrace in the eyes of outsiders like Maverick.

Naomi turned red in the face the moment her lie got exposed. Collecting herself, she argued. “No, I just arrived, and Mr. Parker came before 1

could knock”

Her explanation sounded farfetched, so the others believed that she had come upstairs for eavesdropping. If she did come to inform James and Aurora of lunch, she should have made a sound before Maverick did. In short, Naomi was caught in the act.

For the reputation of the Sage family, James opened his mouth before Maverick did. “Enough. Isn’t it time for lunch? Go”

Embarrassed, Naomi was anxious to leave, and she ran away with the good excuse provided by James. After one glance at the retreating figure, Maverick looked back at James and said implicitly, “Mr. Sage, do you remember how Jesus got caught by the Romans!

James face turned livid at this question. After a slight nod toward James, Maverick led Aurora downstairs.

Jesus had died from the betrayal of Judas, and Maverick brought it up to warn James against Naomi

The table was just set when Maverick and Aurora arrived at the dining room where Evelyn and Naomi were waiting

James followed behind the Parker couple. The luich didn’t begin till everyone took their seats respectively. Maverick was the honorable gues

today.

In the middle of the lunch, James said, “I would like to announce one thing since everyone is here. Aurora will join the company. To kill time if

Aurora silently observed the reactions of the others. Elias said nothing though his brows furrowed slightly. Naomi anxiously looked at her mother while Evelyn seemed to be thinking about the counterplot.

Maverick was the first person among the crowd to get his real thoughts exposed as he quickly pulled a long face.

Considerate, Aurora patted Maverick on the land and winked at him to indicate that she would give him an explanation later

Immediately, Maverick was softened. He then shot one meaningful glance at Evelyn whose opinion nattered in this family.

Evelyn and Aurora’s mother were sisters, and she and her daughter were brought into the Sage family after Aurora’s mother died… How weird and confusing Ehas decision was!

Evelyn handed Aurora a plate of food and said, “Why bother? Aurora is married, so her priority is to give birth to some children for the Paker family, isn’t it?”

Aurora didn’t take the plate, and her starry eyes were set un Evelyn. “Aunt, Dad hasn’t expressed his opinion yet.” It was a way to remind Evelyn not to forget her place
