Chapter 151
Aurora thought for a moment and said seriously, “He’s quite nice, very warm and friendly. But I think he has a younger sister,
and her situation is a little… unique.”
She chose her words carefully and eventually settled on “unique.”
She didn’t know the specifics yet, and she hadn’t met Leonard’s sister in person.
Grace mulled it over. “Alright. Try to learn more about his situation. Leonard is a promising business partner, so keep an eye on
that.”
“Got it.”
With that, Aurora left the chairman’s office.
As soon as she returned to her own office, a message came in from Leonard:
“I took my sister to the place you recommended. It’s the first time I’ve seen her eat so much.”
A faint smile appeared in Aurora’s eyes as she read the message.
She replied, “I’m glad she liked it. I know a lot of places that are fun for kids too. We can check some out when there’s time.”

Aurora gave it some thought. That made sense. “Alright, then you can call me Aurora.”
Leonard smiled slightly. “Alright, Aurora. This is my sister. But as you probably noticed… she has autism.”
When he said those last three words, a hint of red crept into the corners of his eyes, but he quickly composed himself.
