Chapter 152

“Then, I’ll head back to my company now.”

“Alright.”

Leslie nodded and turned to enter the building.

“Mr. Synder, hold on.” Aurelia stepped forward and handed him half the box of pastries. ” These are for you. I’ll be going now.”

With that, she waved her hand and got into the taxi.

Leslie was taken aback for a moment. Then, he lowered his gaze and looked at the pastries in his hands.

He didn’t enjoy eating them, but he still took them upstairs.

When Daniel saw the pastries, his eyes lit up. “Mr. Synder, are those for me?”

He reached out to take them, only to have his hand slapped away.

He hissed in pain and rubbed the back of his hand. “Mr. Synder, I thought you didn’t like sweets.”

“Don’t touch them,” Leslie said.

Daniel fell silent and glanced at the sky outside, wondering if it would start snowing soon. Leslie had been acting strange ever since he had ended the meeting abruptly.

Sensing his gaze, Leslie looked up and said,

and said, “Have you done what I’ve asked?”

Daniel’s expression immediately became more serious. He said, “Yes. By the way, Seth’s company has informed us that there’s no way he would get a promotion. On top of that, he’s basically isolated in the company now, after he was detained for scamming someone else’s

money.

“Alright.”

“Also, Synder Corporation called again. They asked when our Mr. Synder will be back. I sent them an invitation and informed them that there will be an opening banquet next month,” Daniel continued cautiously.

“They seem to be in quite a rush,” Leslie said coldly.

“I heard that Synder Corporation will be sending their eldest son to attend the banquet.”

“Eldest son?” Leslie repeated. His eyes darkened.

Daniel realized that he had said something wrong and immediately lowered his head.

“Mr. Synder…”

“Get back to work. You can start taking action on the matters assigned to you for Friday.”

“Alright.”

Aurelia returned to the company and found that everyone else had already returned to the

office. However, as soon as she entered, the previously chattering crowd immediately fell

silent.

Aurelia was in a good mood and paid no mind. She held the box of pastries and returned to her seat. As soon as she opened the box, the delicious aroma wafted out and attracted the attention of her colleagues.

“That box is from the bakery in the business district. That’s a prime location. What was she doing there?”

“Her husband can afford dresses worth thousands, so maybe he’s working there. Any white- collar worker there earns an annual salary of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

“It’s no wonder that she couldn’t care less despite being bullied at work. It turns out that she has her husband’s backing.”

“Oh, I’m so jealous. It’s impressive that she can still eat after what happened.”

Aurelia heard these comments, but she remained indifferent.

She had no intention of trying to prove anything. After all, no matter what she did, there would always be dissenting voices.

However, these words sounded harsh to Millie.

She thought that she would shine as brightly as Kimberly with a boyfriend like Jackson. But her radiance was always so short-lived.

On the contrary, Aurelia never did anything or said anything, but she always managed to attract all the attention.

Recalling how Jackson had asked Aurelia for her name earlier that morning, Millie became increasingly upset.

She wasn’t a fool. There was only one reason for a man to ask a female stranger for her name.

However, she firmly believed that Aurelia had done something to deliberately seduce Jackson.

Millie stood up and walked to Aurelia’s desk. With a sweep of her hand, the pastries fell to the ground.

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. But Aurelia, it’s office hours now. Isn’t it inappropriate to eat?”

Aurelia looked at the mess on the ground and stood up with displeasure. She glared coldly at Millie and then pointed to the clock on the wall.

“Go see a doctor if you have bad eyesight. Don’t blame others for your own problems.”
