Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Aurora and Ava’s competition was one week later. Things in the office got tenser this time. Aurora felt her heart in the throat after Ava finished demonstrating her designs.

Albie looked confident as usual, “Come on. I have faith in you!”

Aurora nodded at him, glimpsed at Sion and took a deep breath. She was much better prepared this time and her demonstration was clear and smooth. She looked as stunning and outstanding as her idea of design, sparkling.

“That’s all about my design philosophy and orientation. Thank you.” She went back to her seat, feeling much too relieved.

Sion stared her for a while and went trough the designs calmly, acting like nothing had happened. Without doubt, Aurora did a great job and she had her unique perceptions on the creativity and designs. Her work could compete with those of the experienced designers.

“Mr. Carroll, whose design do you prefer?” Albie asked and looked at Aurora, signaling that she would win. Then he waited Sion to make the final call.

Sion looked around in the meeting room. Soon enough, he closed the documents and said lightly, “Indeed, Aurora’s design is better!”

Hearing that, Ava looked like shit. She glimpsed at Aurora, who was wearing a smile, and bit her red lips hard. As expected, Aurora defeated Ava in this design contest.

Ava returned to her desk and crumpled the design into a ball. Emily noticed it and comforted her kindly, “Maybe her design has given them something new. Don’t take it to heart. No matter how, you’re a better designer!”

“Something new?” Ava snorted and couldn’t be resigned to it, “She’s lucky. And she happens to be close to Mr. Doyle!”She stressed the words “Mr. Doyle” and gnashed.

She saw two people from afar right after she finished speaking. Albie was walking Aurora back to the Design Department, and he stroke her hair softly before he left. He was so tender and caring, which had made every woman in the office jealous of Aurora.

Emily looked at Ava’s gloomy face and didn’t know what to say. She always knew Ava had a crush on Albie. Ava had just been defeated in the design contest and then happened to see Albie, the one she loved, making out with her rival, Aurora. Of course, she had good reason to feel bad.

Ava was mad till the next day. Honestly speaking, she thought little of Aurora and didn’t think she was good for Albie. Ava got out of the elevator, clocked in and suddenly paused her steps. She turned back to look at the elevator and suddenly thought of something. Aurora was new in the field. She must go through some tough time if she really wanted to grow up and be better, right?

Aurora had asked Albie out for lunch. She began packing when others were gone.

Ava came up from the corner and watched Aurora walking up to the elevator. She put on an evil smile and walked towards the electric switch in the fire passage.

Aurora didn’t know anything about that. She got in the elevator and pressed the number. Soon afterwards, an accident happened! The elevator stopped abruptly and then fell down quickly. Aurora wasn’t aware of it and was shaken to the corner. The elevator kept falling down and the ceiling light went out all at once!

Aurora was scared out and stood up with the help of the handrail. Suddenly, the light was back on. She pressed every number hastily and rang the alarm. What was she gonna do? Why was the elevator suddenly out of order? If the elevator fell down to the ground, she would…

Aurora took out her phone in a hurry but there was no signal. In despair, the elevator was stuck on the sixth floor. Aurora gasped for breath and felt her legs shaking with fear.

Very soon, the security guys opened the elevator from outside. Albie saw Aurora slumping on the floor and stepped forward to carry her up in his arms, “Are you OK, Aurora?”

“Albie… I’m OK.” Aurora finally sighed with relief when she got out of the elevator, but meanwhile, she couldn’t help to wonder why the elevator was suddenly out of order and electricity.

Albie raised his head and said to Cory coldly, “Go find out what happened. Now!”

“Yes, Mr. Doyle.”

Cory was also freaked out. Normally, they had regular repair and maintenance for the elevators in the company. How could the accident happen? Fortunately, Aurora was safe and sound. It would be a total disaster if more people were there. But the only person stuck inside happened to be the most important one to his boss. Thinking of it, Cory looked more serious and walked faster.

The security guys played the surveillance videos as told, and had also sent someone to check the elevator. In the end, they found Ava, who had cut the electricity, still there and took her to Albie.

“No! I didn’t do that! No…” Ava was frightened. She didn’t imagine things would end up so badly. At first, she just wanted to scare Aurora and teach her a lesson by cutting out the electricity. So, she was panic when she saw the elevator falling uncontrollably and her mind went totally blank.

“Mr. Doyle, I didn’t mean to hurt Aurora. I just think the contest wasn’t fair! I… really didn’t mean to hurt her!”

The elevator would only stop working even if the electricity was out. How could it fall down like that? Ava couldn’t figure it out and began weeping. She tried to take Albie’s hand but the latter avoided it.

Then she turned to Aurora, “Aurora, I swear I didn’t mean to hurt you! Please trust me! I didn’t do that…”

Aurora looked away and ignore her pledge. She wasn’t so kind as to forgive someone who had hurt her.

Albie glared at her coldly and turned to the security on the other side, “Call 911.”

“No! Please! Mr. Doyle, please trust me! I didn’t do anything to the elevator! I was just playing a prank on her…”

“Prank?” Albie stared her more coldly, “Save it! Talk to the police!”

“Albie…” All at once, Aurora clutched to Albie’s sleeve.

Albie thought she was gonna speak for Ava. He looked down at her and found her face turning deadly pale and she was covering her tummy with the other hand. She said in a very weak voice, “Albie, I’m having a stomachache.”

Albie got extremely worried, carried her in the arms immediately and ran to the parking lot. Cory saw that look on his face, got nervous and caught up to open the door of the back seat for them.

“Hurry up! To the hospital!” said Albie powerfully.

Cory heard it and started the car. From the door mirror, he could see Albie carrying Aurora in his arms and looking worried and distressed. Cory made it to the hospital and parked the car in the underground parking.

Aurora was in cold sweat and clutching to Albie’s sleeve.

“Aurora, hang on there! We’re in the hospital now!” Albie carried her in the arms and ran inside. On the way, he kept checking on her and felt his heart in the throat when looking at her pale face.

Aurora was sent to the ER as soon as they arrived. Somehow, she was in a panic, feeling like something big was gonna happen.

“Albie…”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“I’m right here, sweetie. You’ll be fine.” Albie went over to her and said softly.

Aurora wept and nodded at him. The door of the ER was closed. Albie waited anxiously at the door and couldn’t stay cool as usual.

“She’ll be fine, right?”

“Sure, Mr. Doyle. Miss Robertson will be fine. Don’t worry.”

Some time later, the doctor came out and told him off, “You should have been more careful since your wife is pregnant. You’ll be terribly sorry if anything happens to her and the baby”

Albie looked up and was frozen, and asked unconsciously, “Pregnant?”
