In the study, Leslie pinched the corners of his eyes.

He closed the latest research and development report from the Synder Corporation. It was a complete mess.

Despite the outward brilliance of the Synder Corporation, it was actually rotten on the inside. There was no hurry. The game had just begun.

Leslie set aside the report, picked up the glass of water, and bro ught it to his lips, only to realize that there was no more water in it.

He got up and walked out of the study. He saw that the lights in the dining room were still on. Aurelia was sleeping on the table, surrounded by documents.

Leslie lightened his footsteps. He didn’t want to wake her up.

However, he unintentionally saw the computer screen, and two words caught his eye-One Technology.

Aurelia was actually staying up late to work on a proposal for hi Ss company.

This piqued Leslie's curiosity.

Did Aurelia, who had said so many impressive things when they had met at the tech expo, really mean what she had said? With that in mind, he glanced at the project proposal on Aurelia’ 's computer.

Since it would be delivered to him in a couple of days anyway, it didn’t matter if he looked at it now.

He scrolled through the document, and his eyes lit up.

Finally, there was someone who actually understood what he w anted, Acting on impulse, Leslie looked at Aurelia.

Strands of hair were scattered around her face, swaying with he r breath.

Her face, imprinted with marks from the table, appeared less stern and seemed more intriguing than usual.

He unconsciously reached out to brush her hair aside.

Just as his hand was about to touch her, a notification sounded on the computer, jolting him back to reality.

He withdrew his hand abruptly.

He rubbed his forehead. He was probably too tired. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an inappropriate move.

As he turned away, Leslie noticed a name in the notifications— Seth, Aurelia’s ex-boyfriend.

“Aurelia, are you still busy? Why aren't you replying to my mess ages?” Aurelia, you must bring your husband here tomorrow and show Seth!” Leslie's brows furrowed. The screen's glow accentuated his icy expression.

After a few seconds, he ignored it, poured a glass of water, and returned to the study.

Not receiving any replies, Millie continued to send more messag es.

Hearing the noise, Aurelia woke up abruptly. She took a few seconds to clear her head and then rep lied to Millie while stretching lazily.

“Why haven't you slept yet?” “Aurelia, I've been watching the community chat. They're startin g to place bets, saying that you definitely won't dare to bring yo ur husband tomorrow and that you'll embarrass yourself.

“Ignore them. They're just bored.” “Aurelia! I'm genuinely worried for you! What if it causes trouble with the boss and you end up in a tight spot? Won't you be givin g Kimberly an advantage then?” Aurelia rested her head on her hands, looking troubled. She wa s torn between her career advancement and Leslie's job.

With conflicting thoughts, her mind became more chaotic.

“Let's talk about it later.”

“Aurelia, your husband can't even protect you. Why do you both er to keep such a useless man around?” “Millie!” Aurelia was surprised at Millie's comments.

“It's the truth. Why are all of Kimberly's pursuers handsome and wealthy? Why do we always end up with these flawed choices? Are you really willing to let her step all over you?” “Millie, my husband is not useless. Are you really suggesting th at | bring him along tomorrow to help me, or do you just want to enjoy the gossip and undermine Kimberly?” “Aurelia, | don’t mean anything else. | just can’t stand her arrog ant attitude.” “It's late. You should get some rest.

Aurelia didn’t want to continue the conversation. She thought th at Millie was just blabbering out of anxiety.

After turning off her computer, she looked at the study and sigh ed. Then, she turned to pick up the untouched meal before putting it

in the refrigerator.

She would just eat that for lunch tomorrow. It would be a waste t o throw it away.

After tidying up, she took a shower and went to bed, falling asle ep quickly.

The next morning, it was already 8:00 am when she opened her eyes.

It almost caused her to fall out of bed in shock.

She quickly washed up, and then she rushed to the door.

ever.
