Chapter 150
Aurelia was taken aback and showed five fingers at Leslie. “How about five hundred?”
He narrowed his eyes and felt speechless.
She was once in a relationship, yet she knew nothing about being in one.
How could married couples discuss money?
He reached out and poked her on the forehead gently. “Is money all you can think of?”
“Huh?” She froze. Where Leslie touched felt like it was on fire and her heart raced.
Leslie paused as well when he realized that his action was slightly out of line.

“Isn’t that what I’m doing now?” Aurelia glanced at the dishes on the table.
“Aurelia, do you know how much you owe me? How many days has it been since you last made me lunchboxes? Are you seriously going to even things out just with a meal after that presentation?”
“How about I give you five hundred and you can have whatever you want with it …” Before she could finish her sentence, his sharp gaze silenced her. Changing her mind, she said, “Sure, Mr. Synder. I’ll treat you to a grand meal.”
“He is so scary,” she thought. “He was calm just now and got upset the next moment.”
Leslie’s furrowed brow relaxed. “I’ll choose the place.”
“Oh.” Aurelia returned to the main topic. “So, is there any way to salvage my situation?”
“For now, the company wants you to write a self–reflection and read it aloud in public.”
“How did you know that? How are you even aware of our company’s internal matters?” Aurelia stared at Leslie in disbelief.
Leslie was supposed to be a programmer, so how could he be so well–informed?
Their company wasn’t particularly large, and the recent growth didn’t warrant news spreading everywhere.
Leslie remained unwavering. “Mr. Lynch mentioned it. He is connected with Kimberly’s social media account.”
Aurelia nodded. Kimberly was the type to broadcast every detail in her friend circle, after all.
“No wonder. Now, Mr. Zeller doesn’t wantto cause any trouble, so he wantsto submit the self– reflection in advance. If I refuse, it’s insubordination. If I write it, I’ll be confessing to a crI didn’t commit. That’s why I cto you,
“The director is supporting Kimberly because she has a wealthy uncle. If you want to control Kimberly, you need to start from this angle.” Leslie provided a brief analysis.
You even know that Kimberly has a rich uncle?” Aurelia looked at Leslie in amazement, then shook her head in denial. “Her uncle treats her like a daughter. He even covered the expenses

“However close the uncle is with her, he’s not her father. He won’t tolerate the damage to the company’s reputation caused by Kimberly unconditionally. For a business, impact on
reputation is fatal.”
“Impact on reputation?” Aurelia pondered his words, and suddenly it clicked. “Are you suggesting that I …‘
”
“Yes. When the tcomes, do you think her uncle will protect the company or his niece?” Leslie asked casually.
In both morality and reason, Kimberly’s uncle had done everything for Kimberly. If Kimberly damaged the company’s reputation, he wouldn’t support her unconditionally.
Even if he used her as a shield to overcthe crisis, others wouldn’t condemn him for it.
Without her uncle’s protection, Kimberly’s position in the company would be entirely different. Aurelia guessed that at that time, Kimberly wouldn’t have the leisure to schagainst her.
Aurelia gazed at Leslie with a steady look and whispered, “Mr. Synder, are you really just a programmer?”
