Chapter 126

“Keep dreaming. She might break your nose with a single punch.”

“I don’t mind. She’s pretty and capable. Even the boss approves of her. Who wouldn’t like a woman like her?”

“Now that you mention it, Ian was acting a little strange today. He hates being late to

meetings, but he actually delayed today’s meeting. I heard from Mr. Xenos that he did it for a woman.‘ 11

“Are you messing with me? Ian doing something for a woman? We’ve been working for him since we were abroad. We’ve seen all sorts of women. Who on earth has that kind of charm?”

“Could it be Ms. Simmons?”

“Who knows?”

The two finished their cigarettes and left.

Just then, Kimberly stepped outside, feeling both envious and stunned.

Ian was a familiar name. After searching her memories, she realized that she had once heard his name from Aurelia.

At the time, Kimberly had been showing off to others that she knew the founder of One Technology and didn’t think much of it.

It seemed that Aurelia had known that Kimberly got the wrong person all along, but she hadn’t bothered to say anything. Aurelia had simply watched as she embarrassed herself.

Kimberly wouldn’t forget this. She would make Aurelia pay.

She hurried off to find Zachary.

He was the only one who could help her now.

When Aurelia stepped out of the conference room, Kimberly and Zachary were long gone. They clearly had no intention of waiting for her. She didn’t mind and turned to look at Daniel and Jason.

“Mr. Xenos, Mr. Lynch, thank you for today.‘”

“You don’t have to thank us. It’s what we should do. Our boss is a nice person,” Daniel said, chuckling.

“Yes, our boss has always emphasized fairness and justice. Today’s outcome is what you deserve,” Jason replied, also smiling.

For some reason, Aurelia found their smiles peculiar. Why were they constantly praising their boss in front of her? It had nothing to do with her.

Aurelia didn’t dwell on it and was eager to share the good news with Leslie. If it weren’t for his help, she wouldn’t have made it to the meeting.

Aurelia waved goodbye and said, “I’ll be taking my leave now. If you have any questions, feel

free to contact me.”

“Alright,” Daniel and Jason said, nodding.

After leaving the conference room, Aurelia turned and walked to the front desk instead of immediately heading downstairs.

“Um… Excuse me.” She hesitated.

She glanced around the office, but she couldn’t find Leslie.

“Hello, Ms. Simmons. Is there anything we can help you with?”

The receptionist was adorable and her lively smile reminded Aurelia of Millie.

Unfortunately, she could barely recognize Millie these days.

Regaining her focus, Aurelia cautiously asked, “Excuse me, has Leslie from your company returned?”

“Him? Are you also attracted to his face? I advise you not to waste your time. He’s immune to women. All the girls in the entire building have been lining up to ask him out for meals, but he doesn’t even care.”

The receptionist sighed, frustrated that Daniel had claimed that their company was full of handsome guys. In truth, the only good–looking one wasn’t even interested in women at all. Hearing this, Aurelia suppressed a laugh. That did indeed sound like Leslie.

“You’ve misunderstood. I have something to discuss with him.”

Aurelia didn’t explicitly state her relationship with Leslie, as he hadn’t acknowledged it either. However, she still needed to thank him in person.

“He hasn’t returned since he went out. Would you like to wait for him?” the receptionist asked. Aurelia checked the time. Since Kimberly and Zachary weren’t waiting for her, it wouldn’t hurt for her to stay a little longer.

“Alright.”

With that, she sat on the couch opposite the front desk and waited for Leslie.
