Chapter 27

Just as Aurelia tapped on the photo, Florence’s phone rang.

“Darling?” Florence said.

The next second, Jason’s voice sounded through the office door.

“Darling, are you okay?”

Aurelia quietly put down her phone.

At the stime, Kimberly’s drama had ceased. Seemingly seeing a savior, she hurried toward Jason.

“Mr. Lynch, you are finally here. I…”

Jason openly avoided Kimberly as if she were a plague and went straight to Florence. He let out

a sigh of relief after having checked on Florence from head to toe.

“You freakedout! Please don’t do anything reckless again.”

Then he turned to Aurelia.

“Ms. Simmons, sorry to trouble you again. Regarding the email, our company has issued a statement to clear our names.”

Aurelia was relieved to hear that.

“It’s no trouble. I should thank you this time. Mr. Lynch, you’d better take Mrs. Lynch back to

rest now.”

“Yes.” Jason nodded gratefully.

Florence waved to Aurelia. “Then I’ll go first. Let’s meet again next time.”

Aurelia nodded. “Okay.”

After waving goodbye, Jason pushed Florence in her wheelchair toward the door.

With the farce coming to a wrap, everyone becrelieved. Unfortunately, Kimberly insisted on acting out another scene.

While staring at Jason with tinging red eyes, she called out in a low voice, “Mr. Lynch…”

Jason flinched at her cries. He quickened his pace right after, for fear that Florence would be angry.

However, Florence raised her hand to stop the wheelchair.

She glanced at the designer bag on Kimberly’s seat. Then she deliberately said out loud, “The bag looks good.”

Jason frowned. “When did your taste decline so badly? Even I find that bag hideous. Lettake you to Hermès to have a look tomorrow.”

Holding back her laughter, Aurelia stepped forward to see Jason and Florence off.

As she was doing so, she pushed Kimberly away. “Sorry, you’re in the way.”

Kimberly’s face contorted in anger.

After seeing off Jason and Florence, Zachary glanced at Aurelia.

He made no mention of the thorough investigation of the emails. Instead, he closed the case hastily in a perfunctory manner.

“This matter ends here. If I find anyone else gossiping about this, don’t blme for reporting it to the HR department.”

Aurelia remained silent and seemingly unsurprised. She had expected such results to

o occur.

After all, she had neither power nor status. There wouldn’t be any plausible reason for Zachary to offend Kimberly because of her.

After Zachary left, the colleagues gathered around Aurelia.

“Aurelia, we’re sorry for what happened earlier. We didn’t mean it.”

“Yeah, I knew it! How could Aurelia be someone who stepped out of bounds? Everyone knows that she is the most righteous person in the office.”

“Aurelia, you are Mrs. Lynch’s savior. Don’t forget about us if Mrs. Lynch promotes you in the future.”

Although they had drawn a line with her earlier, Aurelia’s colleagues began to apologize one after another.

She smiled and stayed silent. There wasn’t much she needed to say anyway.

Workplace relationships were always like that. Everybody would fawn over whoever was in a more favorable position. She had long since been dismissive of that attitude.

Kimberly went over bitterly when she saw everyone flattering Aurelia.

“Aurelia, don’t be smug. Mr. Zeller obviously didn’t believe what Mrs. Lynch said earlier. But, it makes sense.

“This particular incident must have a pretty substantial impact on Mr. Lynch. Why else would Mrs. Lynch cto prove Mr. Lynch’s innocence during her postpartum period? Since there weren’t any other solutions for her, she could only take your side and help you out.”

Just when their hearts wavered with doubt, Kimberly took the chance to twist the truth again.

Aurelia ignored Kimberly’s ridicule. She looked her up and down.

Kimberly’s heart skipped a beat. “What? What are you looking at?”

Aurelia smiled and said, “Who are you going to seduce by dressing like this?”

Kimberly’s expression froze. Then, she said in disbelief, “Aurelia! Don’t go too far! We have the freedom to dress however we want!”

Aurelia returned to her workstation.

Pointing at Kimberly’s suspender dress, Aurelia said, “As an employee, you wear a low–cut dress to work. What else would you be doing if not seducing our clients?”

Kimberly covered her cleavage and reprimanded, “Aurelia, every speculation requires evidence! What evidence do you have to prove that I seduced our clients?”

Aurelia clapped her hands and said with a smile, “Wow, Kimberly! You actually know that every speculation requires evidence? Then, how can you ignore Mrs. Lynch’s surveillance footage? According to your actions, it’s not wrong forto say that you seduce clients dressed like this, isn’t it?”

“You…”

Kimberly wanted to speak out more. But, this time, Aurelia didn’t let her have her

her off directly.

BY!

way. She cu

way, Mr. Lynch doesn’t seem to be close with you. Why do you think he gave you a bag that he disdained? Was he trying to hint at something?”

A hint, for example, that he disdained Kimberly.
