After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 We’d Better Keep the Distance

Aurora put down her phone, rest her arms on the table and buried her face in her hands. She was down again and even herself didn't notice it.

At 10 a. m, Aurora arrived at the office with Albie, and went to the Design Department with her old designs. She stood by the bar counter and thought it was a pity that all these designs were down to drain. She had spent lots of time and energy on them, but she had to start over.

"Aurora." Alex made her a cup of coffee and passed it to her, "Coffee. Refresh yourself."

Aurora put away the designs, accepted the coffee and said with a smile, "Thanks, Alex."

He nodded at the designs and asked, "How was it going? Good?"

"Long story!" Aurora sighed quietly, "But, it's OK. I've got some new ideas."

"Good. Go for it!"

Ava came up to them while they were talking. She walked on the carpet and her high heels made some little noise. She was passing by but suddenly turned around and crash into Aurora on the shoulder. Thus, the coffee spilled on the designs on the counter.

"Oh my god!" Ava frowned and put on a complacent smile on her face, "Sorry. New shoes. They are rubbing against my heels. It's killing me."

"Hell! Couldn't you just be more careful?" Alex cleaned the designs with Aurora and stared at Ava sullenly, "What if you ruin the designs? Can you afford to answer for it?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry..."

"I didn't mean to. Aurora, you won't blame me, will you?" Ava apologized hypocritically.

Alex was trying to say something but Aurora stopped him, "It's OK, Alex. She said she didn't mean to."

But Alex didn't wanna let go at that, "What about your designs?"

Aurora looked at Ava and said word by word, "Never mind! They are all scrap drawings. It doesn't matter even if she ruins them all."

Hearing that, Ava was frozen for a second, then patted her chest to calm herself, "Oh really? I'm so relieved to hear that. Otherwise, I should be guilty!"

"Yep. You should be!" Aurora nodded.

She wouldn't have to do it again if she hadn't been set up and misled by Ava. Thinking of it, she took a look at the coffee cup in hand, and spilled the rest of the coffee on Ava.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Ava. I didn't mean to. You won't mind, will you?"

Ava looked at the dripping coffee and shook with anger, "Obviously, you did it on purpose!"
