Joshua asked with a smile, "Ms. Williams, are you sure... you still want to talk to me?"
Images of their last few unpleasant encounters flashed through Aurora's mind.
Her smile remained unchanged. "Perhaps there have been some misunderstandings between us. I'd still like to clear them up."
Joshua glanced at his watch. "I'm sorry, I have other things to do. I'm afraid I don't have time today."
Aurora seemed to have anticipated this and showed no sign of displeasure.
"Then when will you be free, Mr. Gardner?"
Joshua pretended to think for a few seconds. "I'm not quite sure when I'll be free."
It was obvious he had no intention of talking to her.
Aurora was about to say something else when the elevator doors slowly opened.
Joshua stepped inside.
Aurora followed him in.
She seemed determined to try again. "Mr. Gardner, I was wondering if what you said before still stands."
Joshua glanced at her. "I've said many things. I'm not sure which one you're referring to, Ms. Williams."
Her voice was soft. "You said that if I left The Williams Group, you wouldn't target the Williams family or me anymore."
Joshua gave her a half-smile. "Ms. Williams, you're not trying to trick me into talking so you can record it again, are you?"
Aurora's smile froze for a few seconds.
She had met all sorts of men, but she had never encountered one like Joshua, who was completely impervious to both hard and soft tactics.
Last time, in her rush to expose his true identity, she had burned her bridges, leaving herself no way out.
