Chapter 225

After a few moments, a burning sensation seemed to have built up between them.

Aurelia held her breath.

She could sense that Leslie’s breath was quickening and he even started leaning in.

She didn’t dodge but gripped the sheets nervously.

What was he going to do?

“Your hair is hanging off your lashes,” he said in a hoarse voice.

“Hm? Oh.” She got up and combed through her hair to cover her blushing cheeks.

Leslie got up as well and turned toward the door.

“I’ll go to my study. You can go ahead and shower first.”

“Okay.”

Once the door shut, Aurelia covered her face.

Why would she think that Leslie wanted to kiss her?

It was a ridiculous thought.

Regaining her composure, she grabbed her clothes and went to shower.

In the study, Leslie stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

Aurelia’s scent still lingered on his fingers.

Something must have been wrong with him, because he had the urge to kiss Aurelia just now.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and tried to calm himself down.

However, when he closed his eyes, all he could see was Aurelia’s blushing face.

His body tensed at the thought.

He immediately took a few more drags, and soon the cigarette was finished.

While rolling another one, his phone on the table rang.

Glancing at the number, he immediately calmed down and his voice took on its usual composure.

“It’s me.”

“I tried reaching you today,” the woman’s voice was cautious and gentle.

“I know,” he said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if the caller was waiting for Leslie to continue.

Perhaps she was waiting for him to explain who the woman on the phone was, or why he was in the

shower.

But none of that came as Leslie remained the same cold and indifferent person he had always been.

The woman couldn’t contain herself and said, “The company is opening, and I plan to return to the

country.”

Leslie responded with little emotion, “Alright”

The next second, the woman couldn’t help asking, “Who was that woman?”

Leslie frowned.

“I don’t discuss private matters with employees.”

The woman choked for a moment before regaining her composure. “Private matters?”

Her tone was filled with shock.

Leslie usually paid no attention to women and no one expected that there would be one day when he

considered a woman his private matter.

She had only been abroad for a month, and it seemed like everything had changed.

At that moment, there was a knock on the study door.

“Mr. Synder, I’m done. You can go take a shower.”

Hearing this, the woman was shocked and immediately said, “Leslie…”

Leslie interrupted her.

“If it’s a work issue, send me an email. I’m busy right now.”

He then hung up.

On the other end of the phone, the woman stood by the massive French window and lifted her wine

glass to take a sip.

There was a hint of drunkenness in her voice when she uttered the name, “Leslie.”

When Leslie returned to the room, Aurelia was nowhere to be found and he assumed she was hiding

from him.

That was fine as this would prevent strange situations from happening again.

After bathing, Leslie changed into his pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.

Just then, Aurelia came in with two bowls of mushroom soup.

She placed the tray down, and raised her finger to her lips.

There was a faint blush on her face. “Hush, it seems Mom has fallen asleep. Did you eat enough just

now?”

“No.”

“I prepared a little something for you. Don’t tell Mom.”

Aurelia smiled and handed a spoon to Leslie.

The two sat at the foot of the bed and started eating.

Leslie stared at the soup in his hand and somehow felt as though everything in his life livened up.
