Chapter 221

Aurelia stared at the unfamiliar contact non her phone, bewildered.

“Oh right, Ms. Linda said she wanted to use my phone to watch a drama, and that’s probably when it got changed,” she recalled.

The person who helped her in front of the hotel couldn’t unlock her phone.

So, they likely started going through her emergency contacts.

Normally, you would start with one’s parents.

But, her father passed away, and her mother was unconscious, so calling them was definitely futile.

That left only her boyfriend or her husband.

Looking at the word “Husband” on the screen, Aurelia’s face turned crimson.

Seeing her blush, Leslie said casually, “Am I not your husband?”

Aurelia was startled and nodded as she muttered, “Yes.”

Leslie felt a strange sense of relief and carefully handed her a glass of water.

“Have swater.”

“Thank you. Did I not delay your work?” Aurelia asked cautiously.

“We had overtand plenty of holidays before. It doesn’t matter,” he said.

He adjusted his trousers before sitting down.

His movements were so effortless and graceful, and he appeared incredibly elegant.

She immediately lowered her head to sip on the water and finally regained her composure.

Seeing her complexion improve, Leslie asked, “Why did you faint in front of that hotel?”

Aurelia hesitated whether to tell him.

She didn’t want Leslie to think that she had managed to secure One Technology’s proposal, only to

end up in this situation.

However, she remembered Leslie’s advice not to be overly stubborn.

Otherwise, not only would things go wrong, but she would also be in a worse situation.

After a moment of hesitation, she said, “The venue was taken. Kimberly did something. She’s claiming to be sick at hso I can’t prove her involvement in this. Her fiancé seems to be quite wealthy and he booked all my backup venues.”

As she spoke, Aurelia felt a bit aggrieved.

She was just an ordinary person, working hard, and couldn’t understand why these things always happened to her.

Did having money really give them the right to do whatever they wanted?

They casually waved their hands and rendered a month of someone else’s efforts in vain.

Doing all of this just to see her beg for mercy.

Why should she comply?

Aurelia looked up at Leslie, tears welling in her eyes.

Leslie stared at those teary eyes and was once again overwhelmed by a feeling he couldn’t describe.

He frowned and shoved a piece of tissue paper into her hand.

“Why are you crying? You look weird.”

She pouted.

“You sure have an innovative way of comforting people.”

Leslie’s frown deepened because he had never been good at comforting others.

The only person he had ever tried to comfort was his mother.

His mom used to chuckle at whatever he said, but started covering his mouth later on in his life, saying, “Leslie, when you meet a girl you like, just shut your mouth.”

He finally started to understand why she said that.

Seeing as he fell into silence, Aurelia said, “Thank you. I feel much better now, but I still have to look for a venue. I’ll let you get back to work now.”

Leslie paused, wondering if he was being chased away again.

Aurelia was the only woman who repeatedly pushed him away.

Though it shouldn’t be a big deal, he felt weird about it.

“Where are you going?” Leslie asked.

Aurelia didn’t intend to lie and showed her phone to him, with a few searches for hotels.

“What do you think of these? Would your boss like it? They aren’t big venues, but the event halls look

luxurious.”

“Most people are adamant that ceremonies should be held in grand hotels to make it look extravagant. But just think about it. Which theme-based shows are actually held in a hotel?” Leslie

said.

Aurelia paused.
