Chapter 78
As Aurelia patted her chest with lingering fear, she noticed everyone’s gaze shifted between her and Leslie.
Could they be getting suspicious?
sorry
Aurelia quickly distanced herself from Leslie and politely said, “Thank you, Mr. Synder, for saving me in our brief encounter. I also want to thank everyone. Additionally, I’m for disturbing your work; this was entirely my fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else.” She and Leslie had only crossed paths a few times, right?
That was right.
Leslie’s expression grew even darker. She couldn’t even acknowledge him in public?
Daniel nearly burst into laughter, wondering where Leslie had met this woman. Faced with everyone’s doubts, she not only avoided cozying up to Leslie, but she also distanced herself. from him.
Everyone had questioning looks, but they dared not ask any further. Instead, they continued smiling.
Leslie signaled to Daniel with his eyes, and Daniel walked up to Aurelia.
“Miss, we still have some business to discuss. But since you seem slightly shaken, would you like to take a break in a private room nearby?”
Aurelia did feel a bit weak in the knees. She didn’t know how to face the foreign man if she went downstairs right now. However, she didn’t want to be rude by agreeing too quickly, especially after interrupting their meeting.
So, she could only look at Leslie, silently asking if he wanted her to leave now.
“Go ahead,” Leslie said.
“Alright,” Aurelia nodded.
With that confirmation, Leslie and his team returned to the meeting room, leaving Daniel and Aurelia in the hallway.
“Miss, please follow me,” Daniel said, pointing to the room beside them.
Aurelia thanked Daniel and followed him.
After walking a few steps, she inexplicably felt she had seen Daniel’s back somewhere before. Yet she couldn’t recall it at the moment. Perhaps she was just feeling affectionate toward anyone after surviving the ordeal.
Kimberly had planned to follow David and Aurelia. She intended to take a picture of them being intimate and share it in their work group chat. She wanted to see how Aurelia would explain herself.
However, when she had just exited the elevator, she saw David being escorted by security guards, his face bruised and swollen.
“David, what happened to you?”
“Hmph.”
David coldly snorted and entered the elevator.
Puzzled, Kimberly followed along the corridor, spotting Aurelia walking with a man.
This man… was the CEO of One Technology!
She couldn’t be mistaken! She had seen this man get off a Maybach and walk into the tech exhibition amidst the crowd’s admiration.
Although she was squeezed so tightly in the crowd that she could hardly catch her breath, she managed to take a picture with him. Worried that Aurelia might recognize him, she
intentionally took a picture of their backs. It would give an implication that looked mysterious and intimate.
Initially, she thought this photo would result in Aurelia’s withdrawal from competing for the vice director position. But she didn’t expect Aurelia to recognize him as well!
This meant that Aurelia might have known about her tricks from the beginning. She had even pretended in front of her! Kimberly was furious, and her chest was heaving with heavy breaths. She thought, Aurelia, are you playing games with me? Well, get ready to face the consequences of messing with me!
With that in mind, Kimberly retreated to the elevator and took out another phone from her bag. She had so many admirers; how could she have only one phone?
After unlocking the phone, she found an unfamiliar number, and a smile spread across her face.
