Zachary looked at the contents of the messages. He frowned, unsure of what to say.

“Mr. Zeller, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” Aurelia said, not wanting to get into an

argument with him.

“Wait a minute,” Zachary called out coldly. “How’s the progress on the proposal?”

“It’s almost done,” Aurelia replied truthfully. She didn’t want to give Zachary any more leverage over

her.

For quite some time now, Zachary had shown that he obviously favored Kimberly more.

When Kimberly struggled with major deals, he would personally give her guidance and support. Their

professional relationship was intertwined with personal connections, and he naturally hoped that she

would become the deputy director.

In the corporate world, while competency and capability was emphasized on the surface, personal

connections played a more significant role.

After finding no more room for criticism, Zachary waved his hand at her and said, “Get back to work.”

Aurelia nodded politely and said, “Alright.”

After Aurelia exited the office, Kimberly looked toward Zachary’s office but didn’t see him coming out to

announce Aurelia’s withdrawal from the elections. She clenched her teeth and gave Aurelia a resentful

glance.

Aurelia ignored Kimberly and returned to her desk to continue working on her proposal.

Not long after, Millie turned around and looked at Aurelia with a displeased expression.

“What is it now?” Aurelia stared at the computer and asked casually.

“I’m so angry! Now everyone in the group chat is sharing pictures of Kimberly’s suitor, praising him for

being handsome and rich, a perfect Prince Charming. They’re even saying that Kimberly will be

marrying into a rich family.”

Millie frowned, her expression filled with anger.

Aurelia glanced at Millie’s phone. The handsome man in the photos was none other than Leslie.

If Kimberly hadn’t hidden in the trunk of Leslie’s car, Aurelia was certain that they wouldn’t even have

had the chance to know each other.

She shrugged nonchalantly and said nothing.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to explain, but Kimberly enjoyed causing trouble for her. If she continued

to intervene, Kimberly would likely target her even more. With the competition for the deputy director

position approaching, it was better to keep a low profile.

Millie pointed at her phone and said, “Look at how arrogant Kimberly is! Even when a good looking and

rich guy is chasing after her, she’s still so full of herself! I wonder who she’s trying to impress!”

Aurelia glanced at the phone screen. It was filled with Kimberly’s bragging.

“He’s just a suitor. I’m still considering it. He’s not as great as everyone thinks.”

“Kimberly, when will you introduce him to us? Let us meet him. We’ll give you some advice.” “No, we

aren’t at that stage yet.”

“When someone is pursuing you, shouldn’t they get our approval? Don’t worry, we won’t bite.

Everyone in the group was chattering about wanting to meet Leslie, pressuring Kimberly until she went

silent.

Kimberly was probably in a difficult situation. After all, she didn’t actually know Leslie. And even if she

did know him, Leslie wouldn’t agree to show off like that.

So, where could she find Leslie to introduce him to everyone?

She had probably just wanted to show off her suitors like before, but she hadn’t expected Leslie’s

stunning looks to create such a sensation that everyone insisted on seeing him. It served her right. She

deserved to experience what it was like to be pressured by others. After a while, Kimberly’s messages

appeared.

“I just asked him. He said he’s going on a business trip abroad soon.”

”

“He’s just going on a business trip, not immigrating. Just arrange a time to meet him so that you won’t

miss the opportunity.”

“Yeah, we’re really concerned that you might end up like someone else, being mistreated by the in–

laws and not even getting to enjoy a decent meal.”

Aurelia was momentarily stunned. Unsurprisingly, the comments were most likely about her. Even after

seeing Seth’s true nature, these people were still finding ways to trouble her. Fortunately, Leslie hadn’t

entered. Otherwise, they might have criticized even his Volkswagen as a piece of junk.

Among the many comments, Aurelia noticed one particularly strange message.

“This guy looks a little like the big shot who met privately with our boss last time. I heard he’s very

powerful, but unfortunately, I only saw his side profile back then. But it really looks like him.”

Big shot? It probably wasn’t Leslie.

Since everyone was focused on the gossip between Kimberly and Leslie, this comment quickly sank

into obscurity. Aurelia didn’t pay much attention to it either.

Kimberly wasn’t stupid. How could she casually promise something without thinking it through?

She sent an apologetic emoji and replied, “He’s in a meeting right now. After all, there are hundreds of

people counting on him. I’ll let everyone know once he’s free.”

“Hundreds of people? Isn’t he really wealthy then?”
