Chapter 3
Aurelay nerves were suddenly on high alert
A mugging
How blind could they be?
She was wearing cheap clothes, each piece under twenty bucks, so she didn’t look like a wealthy person at all.
“Si, I’m broke. Not single dime in my account and I’m drowning in debt. Show some mercy, will you?“
“Enough chatter.”
The thug, with a face like a storm cloud, urged her forward, towards a parked black Honda.
Just as he was about to shove her into the vehicle, a sharp blade was held against his throat.
“Want to play a game? Who dies first?”
The thug shivered, before he could react, his knife–holding hand was seized.
With a forceful tug, pain shot through the thug’s hand making him shriek like a stuck pig.
Too terrified to move, Aurelia was handed over to a man in black and escorted into a silver Rolls–Royce.
Inside the car was a man.
His tall and erect posture, his handsome face, if it wasn’t Leopold, who else could it be?
“Mr… Mr. Leopold!”
Her nerves tightened further.
Apart from not mugging people, the big boss was probably just as dangerous as a bandit.
His face was as cold as ice.
Leopold’s cool gaze swept over her still–flat belly.
“I hear you’re carrying my child?”
His straightforwardness caught Aurelia off guard.
“It was… a medical accident. I’m a victim too.”
She curled up in the corner, lowered her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes. His stare was too piercing, as if he wanted to shatter her.
A mocking smile crept onto Leopold’s face.
Where was the audacity she had shown in the elevator?
“I’ve arranged a doctor’s appointment for you tomorrow to terminate the pregnancy.”
What?
Aurelia was taken aback.
He wanted to abort the baby?
Wasn’t his fiancée eager for her to give birth?
Hadn’t they reached a consensus?
“After all, it’s your baby. I’ll follow your decision.”
She said nothing more. Since he had made the decision, there was no need for her to struggle. It was a relief.
Leopold squinted slightly. His deep eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
“Do you have any requests?”
He had heard from his subordinates at Astral Enterprises Design Department that this woman was greedy and treated money like her lifeblood. This was a golden opportunity for her to make demands and he was sure she wouldn’t miss out.
Aurelia pursed her lips.
How dare she make demands of the big boss?
Besides, he was a victim too. If she wanted compensation, she should go to the hospital.
“You won’t fire me over this, will you?”
Leopold paused, “I always keep my personal life separate from work.”
“That’s good. As long as I can keep my job, I have no other requests.”
Aurelia stuck out her tongue.
