章 115: Vintage Cellar's New COO

Monday morning arrived with a lingering haze of tension for Aurora as she stepped into the office.

The events of the previous day still weighed heavily on her, her mind occupied with the shocking revelation about the chip in her head. But today was pivotal—a moment that could redefine her career.

Placing her bag gently on her desk, Aurora grabbed her phone and walked out, making her way to the elevator. The ride to the conference room was silent, her thoughts a swirling mix of anticipation and resolve.

When she entered, the room was already buzzing. Board members and department heads occupied their seats, their voices a low murmur of conversation. At the right-hand side of the table, Olivia sat poised with a smirk playing on her lips.

Her gaze locked onto Aurora's as if challenging her. Aurora, however, refused to give her the satisfaction, averting her eyes and taking her seat at the left-hand side of the head table.
