Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 529: I Am DO After days of hard work, Aurora finally left work early today. She decided it was tto personally inspect the results. While lan had sent her videos of the progress, nothing compared to seeing it firsthand.

To her surprise, the rehearsal concluded without any flaws. Even the tiniest issue had been resolved thanks to lan's meticulous feedback. He worked like a student presenting a thesis, striving for perfection, fearful of being asked to redo the work.

"Miss Montgomery, what do you think? Is there anything that needs to be changed?" lan asked earnestly. His humility and dedication made him an exceptional talent.

Julian used to dislike lan, sensing a hidden affection in the man's gaze toward Aurora. But now, Julian could see the sheer effort and passion lan had poured into his work. For an intern yet to graduate, lan's abilities far surpassed many so-called industry elites. It wasn't just talent-it was diligence and determination.

Julian no longer felt the animosity he once harbored, especially now that lan's admiration for Aurora had faded. That was good.

"There's nothing to change. You've done an excellent job, lan. You've exceeded all my expectations," Aurora praised without hesitation.

The live demonstration was even more impressive than the videos lan had sent. The added touches and innovations made it clear that lan had spent countless hours refining every detail. From the stage effects to the flow of the event, even the speech script-everything was flawless.

"Thank you. I was so worried I might disappoint you." lan held a steaming cup of coffee, but what truly warmed him was Aurora's recognition.

Aurora smiled faintly. "You've done wonderfully. I'm proud of you. With someone as talented as you on the Sun team, I can confidently leave the future in your hands." Aurora hadn't forgotten her commitments. She still had the Montgomery Group to manage and a promise to Candy to fulfill. The DO brand had been quiet for too long, and after the perflaunch, she needed to focus on new projects. From the moment Aurora chose a path different from others, she had accepted that her journey would never be easy.

"You've all worked hard. Once tomorrow's launch is a success, I'll treat you to dinner to express my gratitude." "Thank you, Miss Montgomery." "It's late, lan. Where do you live? Let us give you a ride," Aurora offered. Snowstorms weren't ideal for hailing cabs.

lan quickly shook his head. "No need. I'll stay behind to help pack up, and then I'll take the subway. The station is just ten minutes from here." "Alright then, but don't stay too late. It's freezing-don't catch a cold," Aurora said sincerely.

"I won't, Miss Montgomery." Ian walked Aurora to her car, watching as the luxury vehicle disappeared into the distance. His heart swelled with satisfaction. From the moment Aurora told him she wanted to train him and Heather as her right-hand team, lan had resolved to give his all and never let her down.

Tomorrow wasn't just about launching a new perfume-it was his moment to prove himself.

In the car, Aurora leaned against Julian's shoulder. "Julian, what do you think?" "It's excellent. Your judgment is spot on. You've found a gem. Nurture him, and he'll achieve great things," Julian said, his sharp eyes recognizing lan's potential immediately.

"I like the event he designed, too. From the early promotions to the perfume's creation, everything has been meticulously planned. I even invited top-tier celebrities. By all accounts, this launch shouldn't fail. But the closer we get to tomorrow, the more nervous I feel," Aurora admitted.

It explained why she hadn't smiled much lately. Even though Julian himself was impressed with the event, Aurora couldn't shake her unease.

"You've been overworking yourself and placing too much importance on the outcome. The more you focus on it, the more you fear failure. You're putting too much pressure on yourself." Julian stroked her hair gently.

"Maybe you're right. But this isn't just about my perflaunch-it's about the future of the entire company. So many people have worked hard alongside me. I can't afford to mess this up," she said firmly.

"You won't. Trust yourself. And remember, you have me," Julian reassured her, his heart aching at her stress and determination.

Aurora could have lived a life of comfort and privilege, but she chose to carry the weight of her ambitions. Few could understand the burdens she bore.

"Yes, I have you," she said softly.

"By the way, Aurora, how did you manage to invite Candy without spending a dime?" Julian asked, genuinely curious.

"Exactly, Mrs. Barnet! I'm dying to know. Getting Candy to agree is impressive enough, but how did you manage it without paying her a single cent?" Rocky turned to look at Aurora with equal curiosity.

Aurora coughed awkwardly. "We're not married yet, so don't callthat." "Well, it's only a matter of time. If I can't call you Mrs. Barnet, how about 'Madam CEO'?"

Aurora wasn't sure which was worse. But he wasn't wrong-it was inevitable. "You all think I didn't spend anything, but I actually gave her something of equivalent value. Candy wouldn't helpunconditionally." "What did you give her?" Julian's curiosity deepened.

"Candy loves jewelry," Aurora hinted.

That much was common knowledge, but Julian still didn't understand. "She om already owns an impressive collection of masterpieces. What could you possibly offer her that she doesn't already have?" "I haven't delivered it yet." "Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us! What did you do to win her over?" Rocky pleaded, exasperated.

Aurora smiled mysteriously. "Do you know DO?" "Of course we do. DO is a legend. In just a few years, she's beca household name. So many women adore her creations. Her designs aren't just jewelry-they're works of

art. And everything she makes is limited edition. People nail to get ople fight tooth and their hands on her pieces.

Honestly, I think she's using scarcity marketing on purpose." "She isn't." "How can you be so sure?" "Because... I am DO." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
