    As Aldor checked the reports Aurora had worked on, he chuckled. "Mr.


    Kane is very focused when he works, often losing track of time. He doesn’t always mean to dy


    everyone''s time.


    "If you have something to attend to, you can go first. I''ll give Mr. Kane a heads upter," he continued.


    Aurora rolled her eyes. "Everyone else is still here. Wouldn''t it mean I''m getting special treatment if I


    leave early? Keegan would definitely scold me againter. Besides, have you forgotten that Grandma


    asked you to go to her ce for dinner tonight?"


    "Can I not go?" Aldor seemed conflicted. Cordelia was rather cunning; dinner at her ce meant he

    had to be careful.


    "Sure. But you have to inform her yourself," said Aurora.


    Aldor remained silent. He nced at Aurora, who was sipping some water, and said, "Tell your


    grandma we''re going on a date tonight. Say you want some alone time with me."


    Aurora spat out a mouthful of water. Her face turned red as she said, "Who wants to spend time with


    you alone? If you have something to say, say it yourself. I''m not going to embarrass myself."


    "Fine, I''ll tell her." Aldor set aside his work and dialed Cordelia''s number.


    Aurora perked up, curious to see how Aldor would navigate this situation.


    Once the call connected, Aldor stated, "Mrs. Kane Sr., can we skip dinner tonight? It''s nothing major.


    It''s just that there''s a festival today, and Aurora wants to go with me..."


    Aurora''s face darkened, ''Why is he throwing me under the bus?!''


    She was about to erupt when Aldor fed her a piece of chocte, smiling as he spoke into the phone,


    "Of course. I''ll make sure Aurora takes tons of pictures for you to see."


    Aldorthen hung up.


    Aurora swallowed the chocte and clenched her teeth. "Shame on you, Aldor. How could you throw


    me under the bus just because you''re afraid of upsetting Grandma?" she asked.


    Aldor replied casually, "You''re her granddaughter. She''ll only scold you at most if she finds out you lied.


    Meanwhile, I''m an employee. If I lie, I might lose my job. So, please bear with me, Ms. Kane."


    "I can''t believe Grandma said you''re honest and sincere. She''spletely off the mark. You''re the


    most cunning person in the entirepany," said Aurora.


    Aldor chuckled. "The fireworks at the event this year will be spectacr. Are you sure you''re not


    interested?"


    Aurora''s eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed. She said, "It''s toote now. We haven''t even finished


    work. Even if we go, we won''t get a good spot. There''s no use thinking about it."


    "I have a solution," Aldor suggested.


    He then messaged Ste: [Mrs. Kane, are you attending the event at the wishing well this year?]


    Ste promptly replied: [It''ll be super crowded. I''ll pass.]


    Aldor texted back: [Ah. I thought you might want to show your gratitude, so I got some candles for you.]


    Ste hesitated in replying to his text. Then, she quickly said: [Hold on.


    Keep those items for me. I need to make a call.]


    [Sure thing.]


    Ten minutester, Keegan got off work. The employees on the three floors cheered.


    Soon, Aurora witnessed Aldor''sputer lightened up with messages from a group chat, singing


    praises for his brilliance.
