Callum glanced at her coldly, picked up the trophy and prize on the tray, and handed it to her. According to the normal procedure, after the prize was awarded, the winner had to shake hands with him to show friendship.
However, when Aurelia held the trophy and prize and reached out her right hand to shake hands with Callum, he glanced at her slender hand and simply ignored it.
The moment he turned around, Aurelia clearly heard Callum say, in a very low voice that only people like them could hear it at such a close distance,
“It’s dirty!”
People in the audience were watching Callum’s every move. When they saw Callum ignoring Aurelia’s outstretched hand, there was an uproar.
If this moment wasn’t under everyone’s attention, Aurelia would have beaten Callum to the ground, tied him up, and taken him to the courthouse to get a divorce.
Unfortunately, too many people were watching them, so Aurelia could only fume inside.
Callum had his back to the camera, so only people present noticed that they didn’t shake hands.
Holding the trophy that Callum had touched, Aurelia really wanted to throw it into the trash can in front of him, but she couldn’t.
After the award ceremony, everyone returned to school.
On the way to Elliot’s office, Aurelia was blocked by Evelyn. After that, Aurelia changed her mind at the last minute.
She initially planned to lock Elliot in his office, but she suddenly thought of Callum. If he heard her confessing to him, his expressionless face would definitely be twisted with anger.
Thinking of this, Aurelia smiled maliciously, and to the surprise of several people, she came to the small woods in the school.
Since today was the weekend, many people were not in school, and the woods were even quieter. Aurelia let Briar and the others wait for her outside, and she went in alone. Facing a big tree, she shouted as loud as she could, “Callum, I love you! Callum, I…”
Ten times in total.
All the birds in the woods were startled by her voice and flew away.
After shouting, Aurelia looked at the man who stood up from behind the tree in despair. As their eyes met, Aurelia trembled with fear.
“Mr. Richmond, why are you here?”
No! Callum was going to find out about this! That was terrible!
Aurelia immediately covered her face, leaving only her eyes exposed, and turned around and ran out of the woods.
“Aurelia, why are you running so fast?” Larry asked in confusion.
Aurelia stopped panting and looked behind her. Fortunately, Elliot didn’t follow her out. Maybe Elliot probably didn’t recognize her. Although they had met before in the training department once…
She seemed to be worrying too much. What if Callum knew? At most, he could tell Callum that she was his wife. It was normal for a wife to confess to her husband, wasn’t it? Thinking of this, Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief and went to find the smug Evelyn.
Evelyn stared at Aurelia’s back, a little confused by her happiness. Didn’t she know that what Callum hated the most was the women who took the initiative?
“Humph! Aurelia, you idiot! This time you’ve ticked off Mr. Finnegan. You’re doomed.” Evelyn thought, sneering inside.
Evelyn took out her phone and sent someone the video she had just recorded on WhatsApp.
Aurelia felt something was wrong when she returned to the dormitory. Although there were many people around, she didn’t even see Evelyn.
She immediately took out her phone and looked up the marathon contestants list on the official account, only to find Evelyn’s name was not on the list at all.
So, Evelyn had no intention of participating in this competition in the first place! She just knew that there would be an international silver medalist participating in the competition. Knowing that she couldn’t beat the professional player, Evelyn came to coax Aurelia into participating in the marathon so that Aurelia could make a fool of herself.
Aurelia tightly held her phone, thinking to take her revenge.
At ZL Group.
The conference room was packed with people. Today was the press conference for ZL Group’s latest electronic products. Reporters had already adjusted their cameras to aim at the podium and projector, waiting for the new products to appear.
Everyone knew that ZL Group’s products were known for high quality.
With the appearance of Callum and several senior executives, more than a dozen cameras only pointed at the executives, since everyone knew that Callum forbade taking pictures of him.
After Callum took his seat, everyone followed suit. After the general manager gave an opening speech, the deputy general manager introduced the new electronic products.
Callum sat in his seat, listening attentively to the deputy general manager’s explanation.
The explanation of the significance of electronic products was quickly completed, followed by the display.
When the deputy general manager used the remote control to turn on the projector at the back, the image of the product did not appear. Instead, a picture of a girl facing a big tree in the woods appeared. A sudden voice made Callum frown.
“Callum, I love you! Callum, I…”
This video caught everyone off guard, and there was an uproar on and off the stage.
When Callum saw who was shouting his name and confessing her love for him, his face darkened, and his eyes were filled with disgust. It was Aurelia.
The press conference was a live broadcast. Not only the company’s employees and reporters present, but probably people all over the world were watching this video.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Callum. Even Rory looked at Aurelia on the screen in surprise. Wasn’t that… Mrs. Finnegan?
Seeing Callum’s expressionless face made everyone admire that he was indeed calm and composed even when something came up. After all, the deputy general managers on the stage were also experienced management. At that moment, Callum was just slightly startled by the fact that someone had touched his flash drive, and there was no further reaction.
Just when the deputy general manager was wondering if there was any more information about the electronic products on the flash drive, he heard Callum’s faint voice. “Go ahead.”
Fortunately, after Aurelia was done shouting the confession ten times in the video, it automatically switched back to the display of the electronic product.
After thinking for seconds, Callum took out his cell phone and dialed a number. “Elliot, is there a girl named… if I remember correctly, Aurelia, in your school?” Why did this name sound so familiar?
“Yes. What’s wrong?”
“Expell Aurelia from school immediately.” Aurelia was a nuisance. Though there was no need to kill her, Callum had no intention of going easy on her.
There were many experienced reporters at today’s press conference. In order not to offend Callum, they all started to delete the shot just now. Even though they acted quickly, many netizens had seen Aurelia in the video, and some of them were quick to take screenshots and save them. While the electronic product launch was going on normally, Aurelia was also exposed.
