Next One Is a Babe

After catching his breath for a while, Ian took his phone to see a call from Aurora. When his breath was finally even, he returned the call.

On the other hand, Aurora picked up the call in a blink of an eye and asked immediately, “Why didn’t you pick up just now?”

Ian clicked his tongue. “I didn’t notice just now. What’s wrong? Did anything happen?”

Aurora sighed. “Something happened. I wanted to ask if you guys are home so that I can go over.”

Ian turned around and glanced at Cindy. Right then, he knew that Cindy wouldn’t have any energy left in her to deal with Aurora.

If Aurora saw Cindy in this situation, she’d know what happened, even if he made up some excuses for what happened.

Since Cindy would get embarrassed easily, she wouldn’t be able to handle it if Aurora found out, so Ian rejected Aurora. “We are not at home right now since we’re both out. Can’t you tell me about it on the phone?”

Nevertheless, Aurora didn’t try to gauge if Ian was lying or telling the truth and went straight to the point instead. “It’s not really that important, though. Ms. Hannah gave me a call just now and told me that Yulia gave her some resources, so she wanted to hand me some and asked me to go to the company to have a chat with her.”

Ian was taken aback. “Yulia had a discussion with Hannah?”

Aurora hummed in agreement before she sighed lightly. “Ms. Hannah told me that Yulia introduced her to some excellent support and wanted to share them with me, but she suddenly asked if I knew Yulia personally over the phone just now.”

She didn't know what to reply to Hannah, as she didn't want to share what happened between Ian and Yulia. Since Hannah asked, it meant that Yulia didn't tell her the entire truth, so Aurora didn't dare to say anything.

Upon hearing that, Ian chuckled, as Yulia was too stubborn. She was so stubborn that he felt repulsed. Normally, a man would be somewhat touched if the woman was stubborn in a relationship, but all Ian felt was annoyance when it came to Yulia.

He felt objectified, and she was so shamelessly relentless that it was starting to obstruct his life. Still, Ian couldn't reject Yulia outright. She had dragged Hannah into this, and Hannah would surely notice that something was wrong if he refused Yulia crudely.

Not wanting to cause more problems, he told Aurora to go to the company to have a talk with Hannah.

“If Ms. Hannah really outsourced the resources to you, it would be fine for you to take it since it was given by the company instead of Yulia directly, so it’d be just like working for the company as usual. Nevertheless, if Ms. Hannah mentioned Yulia, you can reject her and tell her that you don’t think that you’ll be able to handle it.”
