Dominic gave an awkward little laugh. "Alright, I won't say anything more. But… Aurora, what happened with him before—that was just a misunderstanding, right? I mean, he's been nothing but polite lately…"
"I don't want to talk about him." Just the mention of Everett made Aurora feel like she was about to break.
She really didn't want to care about him, didn't want to hear his name again. Just thinking of him brought up this restless, powerless feeling that scared her.
Dominic shut up right away.
Noticing Aurora's mood shift, Director Z wisely moved the conversation away from Everett's acting and onto the company's annual bonus and year-end plans.
"Aurora's music video will be released before the New Year. If the response is good, Mr. Nelson said there'll be bonuses. When it's time to promote it, I hope everyone gives it their all—share it with your friends and family. It affects everyone's paycheck!"
Z grinned as he spoke.
"For sure!"
