“I have something to attend to. You should head up yourself,” Leslie said.
“Alright, I’m sorry for delaying you,” Aurelia apologized.
“Go ahead.”
“Okay.” She walked towards the elevator, then turned back and said, “Mr. Synder, can you manage
dinner by yourself tonight? My mom is…”
“I understand,” he said in a deep voice.
Aurelia didn’t say much since he agreed and entered the elevator.
Coincidentally, she met Jason in the elevator.
“Mr. Lynch, what a coincidence.”
Jason looked at Aurelia, surprised. He was almost unable to recognize her.
He hadn’t expected Aurelia to be so beautiful since she always dressed dully.
He didn’t express his surprise, though. After all, it wasn’t a coincidence that he ran into Aurelia.
Leslie had sent him down to pick her up.
Leslie, a man who usually kept his distance from women, had become surprisingly considerate and
protective.
Jason thought that if Leslie liked Aurelia, then everything should be alright.
Jason looked at Aurelia with a big smile.
But the next second, he froze.
Aurelia was married!
Leslie had no chance!
Aurelia smiled awkwardly and wondered, “What’s wrong with him? Why is he looking at me this way?”
Downstairs, Leslie hadn’t left.
Instead, he found a discreet spot and sat down.
He dialed Daniel’s number. “You can start now.”
“Yes, Mr. Synder.”
Exiting the elevator, Aurelia followed Jason forward.
Along the way,
she scanned the surrounding curiously, assuming this to be Leslie’s workplace.
The office was luxurious. The overall color scheme was silver–gray.
No matter the office area or the rest areas, it gave off a futuristic sense.
2/3
There were even robots delivering documents.
At the sight of the robot, Aurella remembered the scene of meeting Leslie by mistake in the restroom at
the technology exhibition.
She quickly stepped aside to avoid the robot.
To her surprise, the robot followed her.
“Beautiful lady, what’s your number? Do you have a boyfriend?”
Aurelia stood still in amazement. She had never dreamed that one day she would be asked for her
number by a robot.
Jason noticed her embarrassment and gave a stern look around. “Who tampered with the robot
program again?”
“It’s me.” A man wearing a checkered shirt and glasses raised his hand apologetically.
Laughter erupted from the surrounding colleagues.
“Arthur, are your parents urging you to get married again? Your eagerness is rubbing off on the robot.”
“Shush.” Arthur walked over Jason. “Mr. Lynch, I was testing the robot’s emotional changes. I think it
only said that because this lady here is too pretty.”
Pretty?
I the
Aurelia couldn’t believe he was talking about her.
When she snapped out of it, Arthur had already extended his hand toward her. “Hello, I am-”
Before Arthur could introduce himself, Jason pulled him aside. “You can’t flirt with her. You will be
digging your grave.”
“Why not? She’s so pretty and is clearly really gentle–hearted. It’s not like she can be any scarier than
Ms. Simmons from Young Advertising who defeated a foreign guy with one punch, “Arthur said with a
smile.
The one who defeated a foreign guy with one punch?
Aurelia felt a chill down her spine. Leslie was right that everyone already knew what she did.
Jason glanced at her and tugged the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
She smiled.
Instead of getting upset, she was impressed by how light–hearted the atmosphere was here.
Feeling playful, she pointed at the tag around her neck and showed it to Arthur. “Hello, I’m Aurelia
Simmons from Young Advertising.”
“Si–Simmons?
Everyone was stunned, not expecting the woman who defeated a grown man to be such a beautiful
lady.
“Ms. Simmons, ignore them. Let’s just go,” Jason said.
Aurelia nodded and waved goodbye at the others, before leaving.
Suddenly, the commotion at the lounge caught everyone’s attention.
