There was no need for them to rush things.
Time would give the best answer.
Meanwhile, lan arrived at the door of Aurora’s office.
He stared at the closed door and suddenly hesitated.
In that moment, he didn’t know how to face Aurora.
He wasn’t sure what to say once he saw her.
The past month had drained him completely.
He knew he hadn’t done everything perfectly.
And now, he had to report all of it to Aurora in detail.
Ian paced back and forth outside the door, nervous and unsure.
He didn’t know how to explain everything that had happened over the past month.
But avoiding it wasn’t an option.
Taking a deep breath, Ian finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Aurora heard the knock and called out, “Come in.”
Ian’s heart trembled.
That familiar voice–he hadn’t heard it in nearly a month.
Only he knew how much he had missed it.
Over the past month, he had endured far too much pressure.
But now, with Aurora back, he could finally breathe a little easier.
He could also give the other employees some reassurance.
Ian didn’t hesitate any longer. He pushed open the door and walked in with steady steps.
The moment he saw Aurora’s familiar face and the way she looked at him, his eyes instantly welled up.
He quickly turned around, not wanting her to see him like this.
Finally seeing each other again was supposed to be a joyful moment.
Behaving like this felt inauspicious, too gloomy for such a day.
Aurora noticed and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, Ian? Why did you turn around?”
Lucas glanced over as well and immediately understood what was going on.
“It’s nothing, Miss Aurora. I’m just… a little overwhelmed.”
Facing away, Ian quickly wiped his face, his voice choked with emotion. “Sorry, Miss Aurora. I’ll pull myself together soon.”
He knew his emotions were getting the better of him.
Especially when standing in front of Aurora.
He had thought he’d be able to hold it in.

But the moment he actually stood there, the tears and emotions that had built up over the past month surged up uncontrollably.
Aurora had always been sensitive. Seeing Tan like this, how could she not understand?
She pressed her lips together and glanced at Lucas beside her.
He gave a slight nod, clearly supporting her..
So, Aurora stepped away from her desk and walked over to lan.
As she approached, he quickly turned his head again, not wantinger to see him like this.
But Aurora still saw the distinct shaking of his shoulders.
A man over six feet tall, crying like a child in front of her.
Aurora froze in place, her lips parting slightly, but no words came out.
She had never imagined things would turn out like this.
“Miss Aurora, just give me a moment.”
Ian’s voice still carried a sob, his head turned away the whole time
Outside, he could be tough and assertive but in front of Aurora, he found it easy to drop the mask.
