Chapter 279

When Aurelia tried to get a closer look at the name on the phone, Leslie put it away.

She didn’t dare to ask further, so she got up and left for the company.

The atmosphere in the office remained heavy, especially around Kimberly.

But even so, Kimberly was still not fired.

Aurelia even started thinking that Kimberly’s uncle had saved the boss‘ life, which would be the only

reasonable explanation as to why the boss was defending her.

Nevertheless, even if Kimberly wasn’t fired, judging from her mental state, she probably wouldn’t be

able to endure staying for much longer.

Although Kimberly still wore exquisite makeup and branded clothes from head to toe, she looked like

someone who was going through severe mental trauma. She seemed on edge, as if the slightest

disturbance would set her off.

Once Aurelia took her seat, her colleagues turned toward her.

“We all saw Millie’s apology video yesterday. I never expected Kimberly to be the one who introduced

Jackson to Millie. Kimberly has really gone too far. She dragged Millie down with her and almost

harmed you too.”

“Forget it. It’s all in the past,” Aurelia said calmly.

“I heard from someone in administration that the boss didn’t fire Kimberly because the boss and

Kimberly’s uncle still have some unfinished collaboration. The boss plans to keep Kimberly this way

until she resigns.”

“I see,” Aurelia said indifferently and nodded.

Seeing her lack of interest in Kimberly, her colleagues shifted the conversation to her dress.

“Aurelia, your dress is really beautiful. It must be expensive, right?”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone around them turned their heads and focused on Aurelia.

“Yeah, I was just thinking that. That dress looks amazing.”

“Of course it’s stunning. That’s the new design from Mulan. Even Kimberly couldn’t buy it before,”

someone deliberately remarked, targeting Kimberly.

Upon hearing this, Kimberly glanced at Aurelia resentfully.

Aurelia pursed her lips, not expecting Kimberly to become the target of ridicule one day. She felt like

she would be the next Kimberly, pushed into the spotlight until she lost herself in the praises.

She quickly regained her composure and said, “It’s a second–hand dress. I can’t afford a new one.

Her colleagues, who were about to praise her, paused at her words.

One of them said awkwardly, “Second–hand dresses aren’t bad.”

Aurelia smiled and said, “It’s cheap.”

After hearing this, everyone lost interest in an instant.

Aurelia knew that they weren’t really praising her sincerely and were merely using her to get to

Kimberly.

They didn’t want to cross anyone, but neither did she. So, it was best to make them give up as soon as

possible.

Silence returned to the office.

That morning, Aurelia received three clients who came looking for her. The negotiations went well, and

all that was left was to sign the contracts.

“Ms. Simmons, your reputation doesn’t do you justice.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Aurelia said, smiling.

She had worked extremely hard and deserved such compliments.

Her colleagues all looked at her enviously when they saw her talking to clients all morning.

See? It was possible to make others envious just with one’s own ability.

As lunch approached, her colleagues noticed that it was too hot outside and all ordered takeout.

Meanwhile, Aurelia took out her lunchbox and prepared to eat.

But before she could open it, a man stormed in.

He was dressed in a suit and looked to be around 1.7 meters tall. He was wearing large gold chains

and a gold watch.

He moved around the office rudely as he yelled, “Kimberly, come home with me now!”



What?

Aurelia turned to look at Kimberly, who was cowering under her desk.

The man looked around the office, and a colleague hinted to him where Kimberly was hiding.

The will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
