Chapter 45
At that moment, Daniel’s call came in.
“Mr. Synder, the morning meeting is about to start. You might be late.” Daniel heard the sound of water
and hesitated. “You’re not washing dishes again, are you?”
“Yeah,” came Leslie’s casual response. “Daniel, go get a fan for me.
“What do you need it for?” Daniel inquired curiously.
“It’s so hot doing the dishes,” replied Leslie.
Daniel was speechless. He wondered why Leslie
I gave off the vibes of a family man.
Leslie soon finished cleaning up. After drying his hands and straightening his clothes, he noticed the
packed lunch boxes on the table. Without much hesitation, he grabbed them and headed downstairs.
As he got into the car, Daniel noticed the blue bag in Leslie’s hand.
“Mr. Synder, you’re too kind. You even brought me breakfast,” Daniel remarked. He then reached out to
take the bag, but Leslie stopped him with a tap on the hand.

“Okay.” Daniel refrained from any further jokes and promptly handed over the files.
Flipping through the documents, Leslie’s expression turned serious and composed. He resembled a
cold yet mesmerizing statue–one that invited attention but discouraged proximity.
Meanwhile, at Young Advertising, Aurelia reached the company just right on time.
After clocking in, she breathed out a sigh of relief. Aurelia settled into her seat and wiped away her
sweat. It was then that Millie approached her with a mischievous grin on her face.
Aurelia felt uncomfortable with Millie’s intense gaze. “What’s up? Is there something on my face?”
“It’s not about your face, but your lips,” Millie replied with a teasing grin, followed by an air
kiss.
Aurelia hastily covered her mouth. Her face, which had just calmed down, flushed red again.
Millie teased, “Aurelia, are things that intense for newlyweds?”
“No, it was just a bump,” she tried to explain.
Pointing to her lips, Millie joked, “Ah, I get it. You ‘bumped‘ into your husband’s lips.”
Aurelia pushed Millie’s chair lightly and focused on her work. She said, “I’m not in the mood for chitchat
right now.”
‘Seriously, Aurelia, I feel a bit sorry for you. You’re quite attractive and capable. Even if don’t choose
Seth, you could find someone better. Maybe someone more, well, appealing?”
Millie avoided the term “ugly” and used “appealing” instead.

Aurelia didn’t quite understand Millie’s point and responded, “He’s actually a good person.”
Millie sighed and relented. “Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy.”
At that precise moment, the clear clacks of high heels echoed from the door. Everyone instantly
recognized the arrival without having to look it was Kimberly.
The colleagues glanced up as Kimberly entered with new branded attire. It was as if Florence’s derision
didn’t concern her at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Good morning, guys!” she greeted cheerfully, and waved her hand with an incredibly radiant
smile.
“Kimberly, you look stunning today! Are these clothes and this bag brand new? They must be pricey,
right?” someone commented.
“They’re gifts and didn’t cost me a penny. I initially declined, but he insisted. He’d be upset if I refused.
For the sake of our company collaboration, I had to accept it,” Kimberly boasted.
“Company’s collaboration? We prioritize our partnership with One Technology the most. Could it be
their boss? He’s truly nouveau riche to splurge so lavishly,” a colleague admired.
“No, stop spreading rumors. I’ve never admitted anything. Otherwise, people might accuse me of
enticing clients.”
As Kimberly stated, she cast a meaningful glance toward Aurelia. She was obviously implying that
Aurelia accused her of such actions.
Aurelia stayed silent. She didn’t want to become a part of Kimberly’s flaunting wealth.
Despite Kimberly’s verbal denial, her tone suggested that they had guessed correctly. Her attire was
indeed a gift from One Technology’s boss.
A colleague chimed in, “Who dares to say that? She’s clearly jealous of you.“
