Third Person’s POV

 &quot;Aunt? What are you doing here?&quot; Aurora was surprised to see Sophia standing at the door. &quot;Come in, please, come in!&quot;

 Sophia smiled and glanced around the room for a moment.

 &quot;Aunt, please have a seat. Let me get you some tea,&quot; Aurora said as she helped her to the sofa.

 Aurora respectfully placed the teacup in Sophia’s hands and sat beside her. &quot;Aunt, is there something you need?&quot;

 Sophia, noticing Aurora's red, swollen eyes, asked, &quot;What’s wrong? Have you been crying?&quot;

 Aurora smiled faintly. &quot;No, Aunt, I’m fine.&quot;

 Sophia gently stroked her head. &quot;Did Jasper upset you? If that’s the case, tell me, I won’t let him off easily.&quot;

 I took a deep breath, turned the door handle, and stood still in front of his desk.

 “CEO Caldwell.”

 William looked up at me, a frown forming on his face. “Why are you still calling me that so formally?”

 I was taken aback. “I… I thought, in the company, we have a superior-subordinate relationship, so it’s only proper to call you CEO Caldwell, right?”

 “You can make an exception. Call me William anytime,” he said, rubbing his forehead. “I want to be able to be with you without any formalities, without worrying about such things.”

 I looked at him, noticing the tiredness in his eyes, and spoke softly. “I understand, William.”

 Aurora sniffled. &quot;Aunt, I want... I want to go abroad.&quot;
