Chapter 321

Cynthia hesitated momentarily.

She had never told Eva that the man she secretly loved was Leslie, the brilliant young man who had made a

nfor himself abroad.

She wanted Leslie all to herself.

Whenever Eva asked, she would simply say he was a decent-looking colleague.

Eva was accustomed to seeing handsmen and beautiful women in the fashion industry, so she

had becnumb to them.

She often advised Cynthia not to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of one man.

Cynthia never listened. Eva couldn't understand the benefit of becoming Leslie's girlfriend or wife.

Aside from Leslie himself, there was his vast business empire.

Cynthia believed she was the only one worthy of him because they were in sync at work, shared the

sideas, and made decisions together.

With such harmony, why couldn't they be together?

Cynthia felt it was only a matter of tbefore they were.

She refrained from revealing Leslie's true identity to Eva, fearing she wouldn't lend her a helping

hand.

“He’s a young and promising developer at One Technology. With One Technology thriving in Seacester, no one

dares to offend him,” she said casually.

This wasn’t entirely a lie, as Leslie had asked everyone to keep his identity secret.

he'll

“Ah, | see. Can't you aim a bit higher? Instead of going for all the wealthy and influential people abroad, you're

fixated on an employee of a tech company. Even if he’s good-looking now, probably be just an average Joe with

a receding hairline in the future.”

Eva clucked her tongue disapprovingly.

“Eva, | just like him. | don’t want anyone else but him. If it weren't for Aurelia, he would definitely have feelings

for me,” Cynthia said firmly.

“Wait a minute... You're not callingjust because of Aurelia again, right?”

Eva immediately guessed the problem.

“Yeah.”

Cynthia briefly explained the recent events but didn’t mention her role in making things difficult for Aurelia.

Instead, she portrayed Aurelia as a very scheming woman.

Upon hearing this, Eva sympathized with Cynthia's frustration.

“Haha, our company is full of women like her. She must really think highly of herself if she dares to compare

herself to you. Don’t worry, Cynthia. | have a plan.”

Cynthia felt much better upon hearing that.

Eva had always been the type to take matters into her own hands and rarely encountered opposition.

Both of their parents were regional CEOs of major companies, and they had received elite education from a

young age. They looked down upon women like Aurelia, who tried to climb the social ladder through men.

Their pride wouldn't allow them to lose to someone as ordinary as Aurelia.

“Eva, what do you plan to do?”

Eva smiled and said, “Tomorrow...”

After hearing Eva's plan, Cynthia couldn't help but laugh.

“You're so ruthless.”

“It’s been a long tsince I've had any fun since graduating from university. If someone comes knocking, why

not play along?”

Eva shrugged.

“Okay, have fun then. If it works out, I'll be sure to thank you properly,” Cynthia said.

“Just wait for good news tomorrow.”

After hanging up the phone, Cynthia looked up at the building through the car window.

The amusement in her eyes slowly faded and was replaced by ruthless determination.

After finishing their food, everyone fell into silence and started working again. Instantly, the only sounds in the

office were the sound of them typing on their keyboards..

Aurelia sat quietly beside Leslie to wait for him to get off work.

This was her first twatching him work. His long fingers danced on the keyboard, filling the screen with

symbols she didn’t understand. Whenever he paused to think, he looked composed and focused.

It was no wonder that they said a man was most attractive when he was focused.

At the moment, everything he did looked dazzling.

At spoint, she fell asleep.

The sound of someone typing was hypnotizing, especially when a group of people was typing simultaneously.

Her head was about to hit the desk when a hand caught her and placed her head on the desk gently.

She didn’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, she felt wonderful and nuzzled against the hand before

continuing to sleep.

It wasn’t until the sound of typing stopped around her that she jolted awake. After two dazed moments, she

realized she was sleeping on Leslie's hand, and he was typing with a single hand.

She immediately straightened her back, and Leslie frowned. His hand felt numb, and he could barely

move it.

What horrified her most was that she saw something shiny on his hand.

She touched the corners of her lips, and they were wet.

She had been drooling.

Just as Leslie was about to move his hand, Aurelia grabbed it and locked fingers with him.

Leslie was taken aback.

“Ahem!

“Ahem!”
