Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth -
Chapter 270
Chapter 270
Aurelia decided to pour Leslie a cup of tea.
He just so happened to be on the phone when she opened the door.
He shot her a look, silently asking what she needed.
She pointed at the cup in her hand and mouthed the word “tea.”
He nodded and she set the cup down carefully.
On her way out, she accidentally kicked the table.
Her eyes widened in pain and tears welled in her eyes.
After jumping in place for a few moments, she stumbled outside.
Leslie chuckled at the sight and the person he was talking to skipped a breath.
“Are you laughing?” the woman asked in disbelief.
“How is the handover going over there?” Leslie didn’t intend to answer her question.
“It’s done. Was there someone next to you?” the woman summoned the courage to ask.
“Yes.”
The woman fell silent and wanted to ask who it was when Leslie interrupted her impatiently, not giving her a chance to speak.
“Is there something else?”
“No, Mr. Synder.”
“Good.”
With that, the call ended.
Meanwhile, in the guest bedroom, Aurelia closed the door and jumped from the pain.
She was trying to play the caring wife in front of Leslie, only to end up embarrassing herself again.
Falling onto the bed helplessly, the scene of her being inches away from Leslie crossed her mind again and she covered her face with the blanket.
Just then, she received a text.
She picked up her phone and realized it was from the owner of the shoe repair shop.
“Miss, your shoes have been repaired and are ready for collection. However, it’s challenging to restore men’s leather shoes. At the moment, we can only repair them to this extent.”

The owner attached a photo below.
Aurelia’s shoes were ordinary and relatively easy to repair..
However, she didn’t expect Leslie’s shoes to be so challenging.
The traces of oil stains on the leather were still evident and there were also scratches. Upon closer inspection, some marks were still visible.
The owner’s craftsmanship was indeed excellent, but unfortunately, Leslie’s shoes were too severely
damaged.
“Sir, is there really no way to salvage them?” Aurelia texted back.
“This type of leather is very expensive. Once it’s stained with dirt and oil, it’s easy to discolor. Even with careful restoration, there will still be color differences. Handcrafted shoes of the exact same style are hard to find. You can consider customizing a new pair. We know a foreign–trained expert for this.
After reading this, Aurelia was astonished.
Leather? Handcrafted?
Were they that precious?
“How much does customization cost?” she typed cautiously.
“If you want a pair of handmade leather shoes with a similar style, it will cost at least three thousand. We can also customize them based on your foot, ensuring a comfortable fit.”
Three thousand?
Aurelia knew men’s leather shoes might be more expensive, but she didn’t expect them to be this
costly.
She couldn’t possibly afford it and typed.
“Is there anything cheaper?”
“To be honest, we don’t recommend ordinary people customizing such expensive shoes. These shoes are too precious. Some of them can’t even come into contact with water.”
“However, there are many skilled craftsmen in the country who focus on soft, comfortable, and durable leather. Getting a pair of shoes from them won’t cost much.”
Aurelia thought the suggestion was reasonable and continued to inquire.
“How much for those?”
“Less than three hundred. I can introduce you to someone I know for a discount, and I’ll earn a referral fee. But rest assured, the quality of the shoes are absolutely good.”
“Okay, but I might need some time before I can pay.”

“No problem. I’ll call you to pick up the shoes a week from now.”
“Thank you.
Putting down her phone, Aurelia began to run the math in her head.
Fortunately, the bonus from One Technology was substantial this time.
After that, she started scrolling on her phone and fell asleep watching videos.
The next morning, she went to the company feeling refreshed.
However, as soon as she entered the office, she was instantly overwhelmed by a suffocating atmosphere.
