Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Aurora looked back at him, said nothing and fixed her eyes on the computer again.

Sion looked quite calm and relaxed. He took off his suit jacket, looked at her computer screen and said coldly, “Let me just cut to the chase. I’m not taking this design. Stop wasting your time on it.”

“Why!?”

Aurora listened to his voice of tone, recalled how deeply she’d been wronged in the daytime and finally explode. She stared into Sion’s eyes and asked him word by word, “Mr. Carroll, please do tell me what exactly is wrong with my design!”

“Go figure yourself!”

Sion saw her raising her chin and staring at him with resentment, which was totally different from how she reacted to Albie, and couldn’t help it but to snort, “You’re a designer. You should think of all those problems that you might come across during your work. How dare you ask me!”

“There’s nothing wrong with it. You’re just finding fault with me, aren’t you?” Aurora was terribly annoyed and made it clear with him, “I have no idea what I’ve done to offend you. But, don’t you think you’ve gone too far as to nitpick me on the design?”

“Even if I’ve really done something to offend you, can’t you just be cool and professional and stop taking it personal? You’re the well-known Mr. Carroll! Good for you!” Clearly, Aurora was being sarcastic. She meant he was petty and vindictive.

Sion frowned but didn’t talk back immediately.

In the meeting room today, it did upset him that Aurora was quite in tune with Albie, and they got on well. That was why he went out of control and had been mean to her. But that wasn’t the essential reason why he denied Aurora’s design.

“Do you really think your design is perfect?” He looked at Aurora coldly and asked.

“Maybe it’s not perfect, but I’m sure it’s agreeable!” Aurora blurted out. She’d put great effort in the design of this series, each of which had the unique source of inspiration. She had added lots of special elements to the basic designs, and couldn’t understand why they were trash to him!

“Now that you think this way, no comment.” Sion said and stopped looking at her stubborn and proud face. “You’re not fit for the job of a designer.”

She even couldn’t figure out the needs of the target customers! How dared she say her work was agreeable?

“Funny! I’m not fit for the job of a designer?” Aurora hit the ceiling and stood up abruptly, “I’m not fit for the job! Ava is perfect for the job, right?”

Sion frowned and closed his eyes, looking like he didn’t wanna argue with her again. He stood up and accidentally knocked something off her desk. The next second, a clear sound came into ears.

Aurora was stunned and looked down on the floor, only to find her precious paintbrush dropped onto the floor, broken. In tears, she glared at Sion, and yelled, “Are you happy now!”

The paintbrush was expensive and hard to get. And it was beyond repair once it was broken! She wouldn’t have broken it if Sion hadn’t come find fault with her!

Ariana was downstairs. She heard them talking louder and louder and went upstairs to see what was going on. Then, she saw them arguing, “What… what’s going on?”

Sion was mad and bothered, while Aurora just ran out of the room in tears.

“Aurora…” Ariana tried to stop her but failed. In a blink, Aurora had run downstairs. She looked back and found Sion standing still, and urged, “What are you doing here? Go get her back!”

Sion put on a poker face and still did nothing.

“For God’s sake!” Ariana pushed him a little, “Hurry up! Your wife has run out alone in the middle of night. You’ll be terribly sorry if anything happens to her!”

Sion sighed lightly and finally turned around to go after her.

Aurora left the house and felt really bad. She called Elle and invited her to hit the bar together. Occasionally, she also needed to relax herself.

Aurora had ordered quite a lot of wine when Elle made it to the bar. Elle was shocked to see that, “What’s wrong with you, dear Aurora? What made you want to get drunk?”

Normally, she had difficulty in taking Aurora to the bar. But today Aurora had invited her first and she looked like she was gonna drink like a fish!

Aurora told her that she had a fight with Sion, and got more pissed. “Who is he to deny my work like that? He even said I’m not fit for the job of a designer! How dare he! He doesn’t know shit!”

Elle looked at the empty glass in front of her and freaked out, “Yeah. Right! He doesn’t know shit! He’s crossed the line!”

Aurora nodded heavily and tried to refill again. Elle stopped her hastily, “Enough! You’ve drunk a lot! Shall we go dancing? Dancing makes you feel good.”

Aurora was a light drinker and had finished a full glass of wine, which would be too much for her. She couldn’t tell what she would be like when the alcohol took effect!

“Elle, tell me. Do I really suck?”

“Nonsense! You’re the best, dear Aurora. I swear.”

Aurora nodded and took out her ringing phone from the pocket. It was Albie. She rubbed her face to stay sober, “Excuse me. I’m going out to answer the phone.”

Even so, she still tried not to get him worried. Aurora found a quiet spot, picked up the phone and made her voice sound normal, “Hello, Albie.”

“Aurora.” Albie paused a little, “Are you out?”

Aurora lowered her head and answered in a deep voice, “Yeah.”

“Probably, Mr. Carroll is in a bad mood today. Don’t take his words to heart… Are you OK? Do you want me to keep you company?”

In fact, Albie didn’t quite understand why Sion had been so mean in the meeting room today. He couldn’t come up with any other possibilities. After all, Sion was kinda a god-brother to Aurora, and Aurora seemed to get on well with the Carroll family.

“I’m fine, Albie.” Aurora said dully. She knew Sion was just finding fault with her, but she couldn’t tell Albie honestly like that. Anyway, they were business partners.

They had some small talk. Again, Albie asked her where she was. Aurora thought it wasn’t a big deal to hang out with him in the bar. So, she told him the address and waited for him.

She returned to the bar and did a little dancing with Elle in the dancing floor, and finally felt a little better.

“Take a break. I gotta pee.” Elle made her sit down on the chair and left.

Aurora nodded.

It was getting late at night and the bar became more and more crowded. Aurora felt a little dizzy and wanted to get some fresh air outside. She went out and came across several drunkards in the hallway. They whistled at her from afar. Aurora frowned and tried to go past them. But those guys didn’t wanna blow the chance to get a hot chick. They ran over and surrounded her in the corner.

“Hi pretty… are you alone? Talk to me, sweetie!”

Aurora kept cowering back and said, “My… my friend is inside. Excuse me. I must go now.”

“Friend?” one of the drunkards smiled evilly, “Boyfriend or girlfriend? If it’s a girlfriend, tell her to join us for fun!”

Aurora pinched her clothes anxiously and said nothing. She looked around to see if she could run away through them. But these guys were totally drunk, and they did it on purpose. One of them touched her face and burst out laughing, “Wow, perfect skin. She’s hot. Bros, we’re lucky today!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Don’t touch me!” Aurora got more and more frightened.

The hallway was near the gate of the bar. Lots of people went in and out, but most of them just took a look at it and then left. After all, things like this happened a lot in the bar.

“Shut the fuck up, bitch!” the drunkard seized her by the wrist, “If you really wanna scream, let’s go somewhere else. I’ll make you scream like hell…”
