Chapter 13: The Real Boss
[Knight Mansion – Sunday Morning]
Eliza rushes around the house, managing chores while checking on Aurora, who is curled up on the couch with a small pout.
Eliza Walton
*Worried* Baby, how are you feeling now?
Aurora Walton
*Sniffles* Sleepy… but where’s Pretty Lady?
Before Eliza can answer, Aria steps out of her room, dressed in a sleek black suit, ready for work.
Aurora Walton
*Weakly* Pretty Lady…
Aria Knight
*Adjusting her watch* Hmm?
Aurora Walton
*Extends arms* Stay…
Aria Knight
*Glances at Eliza* I have a meeting.
Aurora Walton
*Teary eyes* Nooo! Pretty Lady don’t go!
Aria pauses. Employees, business deals, stocks—nothing ever made her hesitate. But one look at Aurora’s sad little face, and she sighs.
Aria Knight
*Defeated* Fine. You’re coming with me.
Eliza Walton
*Shocked* Aria, she needs rest!
Aurora Walton
*Clinging to Aria* I’ll rest with Pretty Lady!
Eliza watches in disbelief as Aria picks Aurora up effortlessly and walks out.
[Knight Corporation – CEO’s Office]
Aria places Aurora on the plush couch, adjusting the blanket around her.
Aria Knight
Need anything?
Aurora Walton
*Smiling* Chocolate!
Aurora Walton
*Pouting* Then juice!
Aria signals her assistant, Vivi, who immediately rushes to get juice. Aurora grins victoriously.
Aurora Walton
Pretty Lady, you listen to me!
Aria Knight
*Calmly* Only because you’re sick.
Aurora holds up her little pinky.
Aria stares, then hooks her pinky with Aurora’s.
[Boardroom – Meeting in Progress]
Aria sits at the head of the table, discussing reports with executives. Suddenly, a small voice interrupts.
Aurora Walton
*Bored* Pretty Lady…
The entire room freezes. Aurora is sitting in Aria’s CEO chair, legs swinging.
Employee 1: (Whispering) "That’s the chairman’s chair…"
Employee 2: (Whispering back) "Correction. That’s her chair now."
Aria Knight
*Glancing at Aurora* What is it, little one?
Aurora Walton
I want strawberries.
The employees hold their breath, waiting for Aria’s reaction.
Aria Knight
*Turning to Vivi* Get her strawberries.
Vivi (Aria's Assistant)
Okay.
Vivi rushes out immediately. Aurora claps her hands, satisfied.
Employee 3: (Muttering) "She’s the real boss here…"
Aurora leans back in the chair, arms crossed, mimicking Aria’s usual posture.
Aurora Walton
*Confidently* Meeting dismissed!
Silence. Then, Aria chuckles, standing up.
Aria Knight
*Casually* You heard her. Meeting’s over.
The employees scatter like terrified mice. Aurora giggles, and Aria ruffles her hair.
Aurora Walton
*Grinning* Pretty Lady, working is fun!
Aria Knight
*Chuckles* Only because you’re in charge.
