Chapter 153

Everyone looked in the direction Aurelia was pointing at and saw the clock. It was 1:20 pm. There were

still ten minutes left before their lunch break was over.

Millie’s expression darkened. Instead of apologizing, she intended to just brush things aside. “I told you

that it was an accident. What else do you want? Aurelia, you can’t just vent your anger on me just

because work isn’t going well for you.”

In the past, Aurelia would have felt that it was unnecessary for any conflicts and would have just

smoothed things over.

She also didn’t want others to think that she was simply venting her anger on others.

However, Leslie’s words earlier had inspired her. Even if she avoided trouble, it didn’t mean that trouble

wouldn’t find her.

Instead of trying to resolve a troublesome situation, her efforts would be better spent getting rid of the

people causing trouble.

She was also tired of Millie’s unprovoked behavior.

“What else? Compensate me. You’re dressed in brand-named products, so I’m sure you can afford to

compensate me, right? Or have you gotten so used to spending other people’s money that you can’t

bring yourself to spend your own?”

“What are you trying to say? Jackson and I truly love each other. Why are you bringing money into

this? Anyway, it’s just two pastries. I’ll pay for them! You must be desperate for money!”

Millie took out her phone and sent the money to Aurelia.

Aurelia accepted it and glanced at her from head to toe.

“Truly love each other? Then, what have you given him? Why don’t you show it to us?

“For someone as wealthy as Jackson, you’d probably be too embarrassed to give him any gift below

ten thousand dollars, right? I’m sure you aren’t one of those gold diggers they talk about online.”

Millie’s eyes widened, and she froze on the spot. Their colleagues around them nodded and

bombarded her with questions.

“Yeah, Millie, what did you give to Mr. Morrison? Show us.

“If you want to be with someone with his background, there must be a mutual exchange of gifts.

Otherwise, the relationship won’t last long.”

Millie’s mouth twitched, and she muttered, “I’ll show it to you next time.”

Aurelia smiled. “Then, we’ll be waiting.”

Based on Millie’s financial status, it was impossible for her to spend ten thousand dollars on a gift.

However, she would undoubtedly pay the price for showing off today.

Let’s see if she would dare to talk nonsense again!

“What are you doing? It’s already office hours! Aurelia, can you stop causing trouble? Have you

finished the self-reflection essay you were supposed to write? It needs to be submitted to

the director tomorrow,”

Kimberly stood at the office door and exerted her authority.

Aurelia looked at her. “I understand, vice director.”

Hearing this, Kimberly looked pleased with herself. She didn’t expect Aurelia to give up so quickly.

“Well, hurry up and get to work.”

Aurelia silently cleaned the pastries off the floor and then obediently sat down to work.

No one bothered her again for the rest of the afternoon.

After work, Aurelia received a message from Leslie.

“I’ll be working overtime, so I won’t be coming back for dinner.”

“Okay,” she replied.

Leslie’s company was about to hold its opening banquet, so there had to be a lot of work that still

needed to be done.

It was normal to work overtime.

However, a strange feeling overwhelmed Aurelia as she looked at their chat records.

It seemed like an ordinary conversation between a married couple.

A married couple?

Aurelia was shocked. She had unconsciously placed Leslie, her roommate, in the role of her husband.

She quickly dispelled her inappropriate thoughts and took a taxi to the hospital.

Her mother still hadn’t woken up yet, but she was gradually recovering.

After having dinner with the caretaker, she went home.

After arriving home, she saw that Leslie still hadn’t returned yet. She sat on the couch and waited,

planning to make supper for him when he returned.

However, she accidentally fell asleep, When she woke up, she found herself lying on her own bed.

She rubbed her head.

Hadn’t she been sleeping on the couch? Did Leslie carry her to the room?

She remained dazed for a few seconds, then tiptoed out of the room. She saw Leslie’s coat draped

over the couch.

He rarely left his belongings lying around so casually. It seemed that he was exhausted last night.

Aurelia didn’t disturb him and made breakfast. At the same time, she tossed the clothes he had

changed out of into the washing machine.
