After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Aurora Got Pregnant

Aurora and Ava's competition was one week later. Things in the office got tenser this time. Aurora felt her heart in the throat after Ava finished demonstrating her designs.

Albie looked confident as usual, "Come on. I have faith in you!"

Aurora nodded at him, glimpsed at Sion and took a deep breath. She was much better prepared this time and her demonstration was clear and smooth. She looked as stunning and outstanding as her idea of design, sparkling.

"That's all about my design philosophy and orientation. Thank you." She went back to her seat, feeling much too relieved.

Sion stared her for a while and went trough the designs calmly, acting like nothing had happened. Without doubt, Aurora did a great job and she had her unique perceptions on the creativity and designs. Her work could compete with those of the experienced designers.

"Mr. Carroll, whose design do you prefer?" Albie asked and looked at Aurora, signaling that she would win. Then he waited Sion to make the final call.

Sion looked around in the meeting room. Soon enough, he closed the documents and said lightly, "Indeed, Aurora's design is better!"

Hearing that, Ava looked like shit. She glimpsed at Aurora, who was wearing a smile, and bit her red lips hard. As expected, Aurora defeated Ava in this design contest.

Ava returned to her desk and crumpled the design into a ball. Emily noticed it and comforted her kindly, "Maybe her design has given them something new. Don't take it to heart. No matter how, you're a better designer!"

"Something new?" Ava snorted and couldn't be resigned to it, "She's lucky. And she happens to be close to Mr. Doyle!"She stressed the words "Mr. Doyle" and gnashed.

She saw two people from afar right after she finished speaking. Albie was walking Aurora back to the Design Department, and he stroke her hair softly before he left. He was so tender and caring, which had made every woman in the office jealous of Aurora.

Emily looked at Ava's gloomy face and didn't know what to say. She always knew Ava had a crush on Albie. Ava had just been defeated in the design contest and then happened to see Albie, the one she loved, making out with her rival, Aurora. Of course, she had good reason to feel bad.

Ava was mad till the next day. Honestly speaking, she thought little of Aurora and didn't think she was good for Albie. Ava got out of the elevator, clocked in and suddenly paused her steps. She turned back to look at the elevator and suddenly thought of something. Aurora was new in the field. She must go through some tough time if she really wanted to grow up and be better, right?

Aurora had asked Albie out for lunch. She began packing when others were gone.

Ava came up from the corner and watched Aurora walking up to the elevator. She put on an evil smile and walked towards the electric switch in the fire passage.

Aurora didn't know anything about that. She got in the elevator and pressed the number. Soon afterwards, an accident happened! The elevator stopped abruptly and then fell down quickly. Aurora wasn't aware of it and was shaken to the corner. The elevator kept falling down and the ceiling light went out all at once!

Aurora was scared out and stood up with the help of the handrail. Suddenly, the light was back on. She pressed every number hastily and rang the alarm. What was she gonna do? Why was the elevator suddenly out of order? If the elevator fell down to the ground, she would...

Aurora took out her phone in a hurry but there was no signal. In despair, the elevator was stuck on the sixth floor. Aurora gasped for breath and felt her legs shaking with fear.

Very soon, the security guys opened the elevator from outside. Albie saw Aurora slumping on the floor and stepped forward to carry her up in his arms, "Are you OK, Aurora?"

"Albie... I'm OK." Aurora finally sighed with relief when she got out of the elevator, but meanwhile, she couldn't help to wonder why the elevator was suddenly out of order and electricity.

Albie raised his head and said to Cory coldly, "Go find out what happened. Now!"

"Yes, Mr. Doyle."

Cory was also freaked out. Normally, they had regular repair and maintenance for the elevators in the company. How could the accident happen? Fortunately, Aurora was safe and sound. It would be a total disaster if more people were there. But the only person stuck inside happened to be the most important one to his boss. Thinking of it, Cory looked more serious and walked faster.
