âAlright,â Aurelia replied back.
Millieâs expression darkened as she mumbled, âLetâs ignore her and wait for her to make a fool of herself.â
Kimberly could tell from Millieâs expression that Aurelia was not at the wrong seat.
Who gave her the right to sit there? Was it her husband?
That couldnât be.
Her husband was supposed to be an ordinary salaryman who was still paying his mortgage.
Kimberly assumed it was her husbandâs foolish effort to appear rich.
There were plenty of men like that and Aurelia would suffer in the end.
âAureliaâs dress is so pretty though. I think itâs from Mulan as well,â a colleague murmured.
âItâs a fake. That dress has a wait-time of one month. She couldnât possibly get her hands on it.â
The colleague sighed. âWhy has she become this way? Wearing a fake dress to a high-end restaurant to act rich.â
Millie sneered. âOut of jealousy, Iâm guessing.â
They all nodded and changed the subject.
âKimberly, I skipped breakfast for this meal. Why hasnât your boyfriend arrived yet?â
Kimberly glanced at her watch.
She told Jackson to book a table at noon, which was a few minutes away.
âSoon. Lawyers are punctual. Iâm sure heâs stuck parking his car.â
âYou should all remember not to embarrass Kimberly. Donât act like youâve never been to places like this,â Millie reminded everyone.
âYou talk as though youâve been to this sort of place.â One of the colleagues glanced at her mockingly.
Just then, another colleague that was watching the entrance of the restaurant eagerly pinched the arm of the person next to her.
âHeâs here! Heâs here! He looks a hundred thousand times more handsome than in the pictures.â
The waiter opened the door, and Leslie walked in wearing a black suit.
With a tall figure and dazzling features, his nobility and demeanor stood out.

Even someone like Kimberly, who had seen her fair share of handsome men and beautiful women, was momentarily stunned.
Millie and the other colleagues turned to Kimberly with smiles on their faces.
âKimberly, your boyfriend is here. Hurry up.â
Kimberly curled her lips and slowly stood up, preparing to leave a good impression on him.
âMr-âBefore she could finish her sentence, Kimberly paled.
Without even glancing at their table, Leslie walked straight to where Aurelia was sitting.
Aurelia heard his voice, looked up, and gave him a smile.
Kimberlyâs mind went blank as she stared blankly at the table where Aurelia sat.
It wasnât until whispers from her colleagues reached her ears that she snapped out of it.
âWhatâs going on? Isnât he Kimberlyâs boyfriend? Why is he so close to Aurelia?â
âIâm confused now. Whose boyfriend is this guy?â
âIsnât Aurelia supposed to dine with her husband today? Could that beâ¦her husband?â
Just as everyone hesitated, a deep voice spoke.
âKimberly, sorry to keep you waiting.â
Everyone was shocked. The man in front of them was around 1.75 meters tall, and he definitely weighed around two hundred pounds.
He smiled amiably.
Kimberly was stunned, âWho, who are you?â
The man frowned.
âIâm Howard Carn. Didnât you ask Jackson to arrange a meeting between us? You said you wanted to get to know me. Looking at you now, I wouldnât mind that.â
Everyone was silent.
