Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia was momentarily stunned before she grasped the situation.

“Mr. Synder, I’ve already sought your help. The current situation is a result of my mishandling of the matter.”

“You know what I’m referring to,” Leslie said.

Aurelia knew he belonged to One Technology, and asking him to seek intervention from the higher-ups wouldn’t be difficult.

However, she had been trying to handle things on her own from the beginning. This made Leslie curious about the kind of person she truly was, although he had never been particularly inquisitive.

Aurelia pursed her lips. Leslie was indeed perspective. He saw through everything.

She chuckled helplessly. “You don’t owe me anything. What if my issues end up affecting your job? We're just employees. You have a mortgage to pay, and you need to take care of your mother. | can’t be so selfish. I'll figure out a way to handle it.”

“What kind of way?” Leslie asked. “Just...” Aurelia struggled to come up with an answer. “Are you going to handle it like you did last night?”

“Mr. Synder!” Aurelia covered her forehead, widening her eyes as she interrupted. “Can we not mention last night? It’s too embarrassing.”

Leslie raised an eyebrow. “It seems you remember everything now.” Aurelia immediately covered her mouth and realized she had let it slip.

She had initially planned to pretend that she didn’t remember a thing. Conveniently, the dishes arrived at this moment, and she quickly pointed at the food in front of them.

“Let's eat first,” she said, blushing. She took a large mouthful of pasta, hoping to alleviate her embarrassment.

Leslie could tell that she was embarrassed and said calmly, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. There’s no rule that says people can’t cry, nor is there a rule that says strong people aren’t supposed to seek help. Stop listening to others. Only fools would hold it all in.”

“... Oh,” Aurelia mumbled. Though she had already swallowed the food in her mouth, she still felt a lump in her throat.

She remembered the day of her father’s funeral. Her neighbors, relatives, and friends all told her, “Aurelia, you can’t cry. You have to stay strong. You are the only one your mother has

now.” Even Seth told her that modern women were supposed to be independent and couldn't go crying to their boyfriends.

Hence, she took on everything and never let others worry about her.

Leslie was the only one who told her that it was not shameful to cry despite what she had done the night before.

Thinking back to the previous night, she blushed again and tried her best to focus on the

present.

According to what Leslie said, it would be unrealistic to retrieve her proposal. After all, everyone had already seen that extravagant plan on her laptop.

Even if she presented another plan, they could simply say that she added it to her laptop afterward.

What if she found her plan in front of everyone? No one could say that she was sneaking around anymore.

However, she wasn’t a professional in technology and the only person who could complete such a thing with ease was Leslie. She looked up at him and considered her words.

He seemed to have anticipated what she wanted to say. “Go ahead.”

“You already know about the situation. | don’t know how to handle it, so can you help me out? ” she said. Once spoken, she realized it wasn’t so hard to seek help after all.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

When facing Leslie, she somehow felt a sense of security. Leslie set his fork down. “And what do | get in return? Even siblings should keep things clear, and so should married couples.”
