Good Novel
Chapter 113
Acalming voice echoed behind Aurelia, and she turned around to find Leslie standing there. “Mr. Synder? What are you doing here?”
“Waiting for you.” Leslie studied at her pale face and felt a tightness in his chest.
He deliberately avoided Zachary and Kimberly as they descended the stairs, timing his appearance to coincide with Aurelia’s arrival. However, he was a step too late.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He couldn't stop Kimberly from pouring coffee on Aurelia.
Leslie had thought Aurelia would give up. To his surprise, she swiftly composed herself and walked towards the elevator. Even Leslie was momentarily stunned. The woman before him was delicate yet resilient, forever unyielding.
After hearing Leslie’s words, Aurelia wondered if she had misheard him.
Leslie was waiting for her?
“What are you looking at? Don’t you know how to fight back when someone bullies you?”
Aurelia could sense a hint of concern in Leslie’s voice. She didn’t dare think too much of it and simply pursed her lips. Leslie continued with annoyance, “Where is that fierce spirit of yours when you threw those punches at people?”
Aurelia retorted impulsively, “We can’t brawl outside your company, can we? What if someone finds out about our relationship? They might think your wife is a terrifying woman, and then you ...”
She quickly covered her mouth.
What was she saying? Why did she bring this up?
Aurelia bowed her head and felt Leslie’s gaze on her.
His eyes were not as cold as usual. In fact, it’s quite hard to read.
Leslie cleared his throat. “Our company knows that Ms. Simmons from Young Advertising can throw a punch that makes a man’s nose bleed.”
Aurelia’s face turned red, and her ears buzzed. How embarrassing!
The tension caused by Kimberly earlier now transformed into a somewhat ambiguous romantic atmosphere between her and Leslie.
Leslie glanced at the blush on her face and smiled, before changing the subject. “Did you go to reconcile with Seth with the police?”
Aurelia hesitated before responding, “Oh, sorry, I’ve been busy with the proposal presentation lately. | forgot to tell you.” Chapter 113
Leslie's furrowed brow relaxed. Aurella hadn’t taken Seth’s matter seriously from the beginning.
“Why didn’t you tell me that his mother was causing a scene in your mother’s hospital room?”
“You knew about that too?” Aurelia was surprised and impressed.
She continued, “I tried to reach
out to you that day, but you didn’t respond. | thought you
were asleep, so | went to the hospital on my own.”
Leslie recalled that night and realized he must have misunderstood the situation.
Instantly, he felt a little guilty.
He wasn’t someone driven by ego. He was wrong to misunderstand Aurelia, there was no need for excuses. “Sorry, | didn’t hear you.”
“It's okay.”
Aurelia was somewhat shocked by Leslie’s apology. But at the same time, it's not too surprising.
Beneath his cold exterior, Leslie was never a self-centered person.
On the contrary, he was mature, reserved, and responsible.
“Let's go.” He pointed at the door. “Let's get you changed.”
“But the presentation is about to start, right?” Aurelia glanced at the time worriedly. “It won't. The boss is busy and it will take a while.”
“Mom told me that you have been stalling for me. Thank you, but won't you get into trouble for leaving your workstation?” she asked.
“| won't.” Well, more like no one would dare to say anything about him. Before she could react, Leslie dragged her out of the building.
One Technology was located in the center of Seacester, an area where the rent alone would surpass Young Advertising’s by several folds.
It was no wonder that so many businessmen were eager to work with the founder of One Technology. Anyone who could afford to establish a firm in the area was anything but ordinary. Even normal salarymen who walked around this area were dressed in at least one or two brand -named products.
At this moment, Aurelia was wondering why everyone was staring at her and Leslie. She followed their gazes and lowered her head to find herself holding Leslie's hand.
When the women on the street saw Leslie, they all looked smitten.
