Aurelia was quite impressive if she could say she wanted to go to bed as her husband worked overtime.

Leslie started to doubt his own charm and cleared his throat.

“Mr. Synder, what's wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“Are you ill? Is your stomach hurting because you haven't eaten?” Aurelia asked.

“Maybe it's because | haven't eaten,” he said.

“Um... Are you okay with leftovers? | was going to have them for lunch tomorrow. If you don’t mind, |

can deliver them to you now.”

“Whatever,” he said.

“Wait for me, then.”

He then heard small noises from the other end of the line.

Thoughtfully, he added, “Take a taxi. It's too late.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up, Leslie set his phone down and received a wave of resentful glares.

“Mr. Synder, you are tricking others to deliver food to you."

“What do you know? Mr. Synder has finally learned how to be romantic.”

“It’s a pity that we can only watch.”

Leslie eyed them and said, “I'll buy you all supper.”

“Yay!”

Everyone was cheering except for Cynthia.

Cynthia couldn’t understand how Aurelia, of all people, could manage to remain calm and not make a fuss. She

was even more bewildered that Aurelia went so far as not to care at all.

Leslie glanced at Cynthia.

“Your work is almost done. There's no need for you to stay here any longer. Go home.”

“| just-"

Cynthia wanted to say she could stay longer, but Leslie cut her off.

“We value efficiency here. We don’t necessarily value overtime. You've just had a severe allergic reaction, so you

should rest more."

Although Leslie sounded caring, he was actually trying to make her leave.

Cynthia naturally knew what he meant but refrained from asking further. She could only smile as she

got up

“Well then, I'll head hfirst. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Synder.”

The others seemed to pick up on something and comforted Cynthia.

“Ms. Whitlock, make sure you rest well while you're recovering. That way, your immune system will recover

better.”

“If we had known you were sick, we wouldn't have kept you overttoday.”

Cynthia tossed her hair slightly and flashed a smile.

“Thanks for your concern, everyone. Keep up the good work.”

Her gentle demeanor allowed her to maintain sdignity as she left the office under her colleagues’

Meanwhile, Aurelia was bustling in the kitchen.

She opened the fridge to warm up sdishes, but when she took out the plates and saw the wilted vegetables,

she wondered if Leslie would even eat them.

He was quite picky, after all,

Still, he chose to stay late with a female colleague instead of coming home.

Aurelia simply put the dishes in the microwave. However, she hesitated as she closed the door.

She wasn’t concerned for Leslie but was somewhat worried that his colleagues would think she was mistreating

him.

With that in mind, Aurelia put on an apron and quickly washed, chopped, and cooked fresh vegetables. Soon, a

fragrant meal was packed,

When she arrived at Leslie’s company, Aurelia was reminded of the earlier incident when the security quard

refused to let her in.

Just as she was about to call Leslie, she noticed a tall figure standing by the fountain outside the building

Under the streetlight, his long shadow stretched behind him. Smoke twirled between his fingers as the water

rippled softly behind him.

He looked exceptionally handsunder the light.

“Mr. Synder,” Aurelia called out.

“Were you waiting for ine?”

Leslie put out the cigarette and said coolly, “No. | was just coming down for a smoke,”

“Oh.”

Aurelia pursed her lips awkwardly.

Leslie reached for the thermos bag she was carrying

“Con in.”

Aurelia nodded and followed him inside.

The security guard watched them approach with a grin on his face.

“So you were waiting for your girlfriend, huh? You've smoked three cigarettes already,” the guard

teased.

Leslie furrowed his brow in silence.

Aurelia stifled a laugh and pretended she didn’t hear anything as she followed Leslie into the elevator.
