Chapter 208

Leslie’s tone was monotonous and his expression was unreadable.

Did this mean Aurelia introduced Seth to her colleagues but refrained from introducing him as her

husband?

Leslie felt quite uncomfortable at this thought.

Aurelia realized Leslie may be upset.

In truth, she also found these people’s comments quite inappropriate.

It wasn’t the first time she had been requested to bring her boyfriend along to treat her colleagues to a

meal.

Back when she was still an intern and in her first relationship, she readily agreed when her seniors

suggested it.

As a result, that supper cost her hundreds because she footed the bill.

When Seth found out it would cost that much, he accused her of caring more about her reputation

than him.

He said she was being inconsiderate to someone who hadn’t been working for long.

Aurelia thought Seth was right.

Making ends meet wasn’t easy for everyone, and she had promised to treat everyone.

She had no right to demand that Seth cover the expense.

Hence, she paid for that meal with half a month’s salary.

Later, she learned that these seniors often used this excuse to pressure other people’s boyfriends into

treating them.

Kimberly was no exception, but she had the money so she always complied.

Seeing her colleagues mentioning her repeatedly, Aurelia responded directly.

“We do have a mortgage to pay, and my mom is still in the hospital, so I can’t compete with Millie’s

boyfriend. Speaking of which, it seems Millie’s boyfriend hasn’t treated everyone to a meal either.”

Aurelia threw the question to Millie.

Those seniors never showed mercy to rich men, and Millie would have a hard time.

“Yeah, Millie. Your boyfriend is so rich, so why hasn’t he treated us to a meal? At least Aurelia’s mother

treated us to afternoon tea.”

Others chimed in.

Millie remained silent for a long time.

Aurelia stopped reading at this point.

Now Millie should know what it feels like to be targeted.

As she was about to put down her phone, Millie replied.

“Sure, let’s have a department dinner next week. My boyfriend will treat us.”

“Millie’s boyfriend is so generous. He’s actually treating us to a meal.”

“This amount of money is nothing to Jackson,” Millie replied.

“Then we need to think about what to eat. We can’t embarrass Mr. Morrison.”

“Definitely not barbecue again. I’m sick of it.”

“If Mr. Morrison is treating, we must go for something expensive.”

Several people happily discussed the department dinner.

Aurelia finished reading all the messages and sighed.

Hopefully, Jackson would foot the bill or Millie would go bankrupt.

Just as she was about to exit the group chat, Millie tagged everyone in another message.

“Everyone, bring your families. Otherwise, it’ll be disrespectful to me and Jackson.”

“@Aurelia, you will play along, right? Don’t be afraid of being compared.”

“Jackson is really nice and if there’s a chance, we may be able to introduce your husband to a better

job. Otherwise, one of you is paying the mortgage and the other has a sick mother. When will you ever

have money?”

Aurelia stared at the message and could already picture what would happen if she didn’t take Leslie to

the gathering.

Everyone would likely mock her for not knowing her place and for not respecting Jackson..

This would become something that Millie could use to attack her for a long time after that.

To avoid something like this, Aurelia summoned all her courage and looked at Leslie.

“Mr. Synder, uhm…”

“What is it?”

“Do you want to… have a feast?” she asked indirectly.

He lifted an eyebrow at her.

“There’s a gathering for our department and we are supposed to take our family members along.

Would you like to go?” She cut to the chase.

He looked at her hesitantly.

Aurelia bowed her head, realizing that Leslie would never attend something so silly.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll turn them down for you.‘

“Sure, I’ll go,” Leslie said casually.
