“No,” Aurelia said.

Zachary frowned. “Complete it by tomorrow and show it to me. This is to prevent you from making a

fool of yourself in the meeting. It’s settled. Everyone, get back to work.”

With that, he left.

Aurelia fell into silence.

Was it really to prevent her from making a fool of herself? He was clearly standing up for Kimberly.

Kimberly smirked smugly and pointed at Aurelia, “Aurelia, don’t forget about it this time.”

Aurelia didn’t respond, but clenched her fists until her skin turned red.

She considered quitting the day before, but dismissed that thought soon after.

Once she quitted, she would never be able to shake the label of plagiarism. The entire industry would

isolate her and years of hard work would be in vain.

She had an ill mother to look after and she needed a lot of money.

She couldn’t simply trouble Linda and Leslie all the time. As an ordinary employee, she couldn’t fight

back against absolute power.

She could only put up with it.

Some may think that she had it coming, but she had no other option and could only march

forward.

Aurelia had a busy morning, and she went to the restroom as lunchtime approached. When she

returned, the entire office was empty.

After checking her phone, she found messages in the group.

They had all gone out for a lavish meal with Zachary.

Aurelia knew they deliberately left her behind.

She used to think workplace bullying

was something distant from her, but she had now found herself entangled in it. Sitting alone in the

empty office, her mind went blank. For a moment, she was unsure of what she was thinking.

She didn’t want to confront them about why they didn’t invite her as it would not lead to anything good.

Instead, she decided to contemplate how to resolve the issue at hand.

With Jackson causing a scene earlier, Millie was unlikely to tell her the truth.

However, the records on her laptop had all been deleted.

As she pondered, Aurelia felt like she grasped something important and immediately put her laptop into

her bag, before leaving the office.

She took a taxi to the building of One Technology and dialed Leslie’s number. After several

rings, he finally answered.

“Go on.” Leslie’s cold voice care through.

“Mr. Synder, have you had lunch?” Aurelia asked hesitantly.

“Is that why you called me?” Leslie sounded like he was about to hang up.

“Wait, I’d like to treat you to lunch. By the way, could you help me with something? My laptop is

broken,” she said.

“Where are you?”

“I’m already downstairs at your company. If you’re busy right now, I can wait,” Aurelia said, reluctant to

press further.

“I’m coming shortly.” With that, Leslie hung up.

Upstairs in the conference room, a gloomy atmosphere had lingered all morning until Leslie answered

a call.

“Meeting adjourned,” he said.

“What?” Daniel was puzzled. “Didn’t you say we wouldn’t eat until the issue was resolved?”

“I’m hungry now.” Leslie glanced at the window. The temperature outside was estimated to be around

thirty-eight degrees Celsius.

Aurelia would likely get a heatstroke if she stood outside for too long.

With that in mind, he stood up and left.

The entire conference room was left in a daze when they realized their workaholic of a boss decided to

abandon work.

Downstairs, Aurelia stood under a tree and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She thought she would have to wait for a long time, but Leslie appeared with an umbrella a few

minutes later to her surprise.

Leslie took one look at the faint sunburn on her cheeks and handed the umbrella he borrowed from the

receptionist to her.
