Aurelia knew the questions in advance, and they mainly revolved around women’s rights. And this time, she’d even invited Megan, who was handling the case.

With both of them on board, the live interview suddenly gained popularity.

Despite her nervousness, Aurelia took the host’s advice to heart and tried to think of something happy to ease her tension before the broadcast began.

However, she found herself thinking of Leslie for some reason.

Later on, as the interview neared its conclusion, the host wanted to liven up the atmosphere on the spot. So, he said, “Ms. Simmons, after facing such online backlash, what’s on your mind right now?”

“I’m thinking…” Aurelia glanced at the time. “I don’t know if I’ll have time to buy groceries later.”

“Hahaha, I see. So, it hasn’t affected you.”

“I want my experience to positively inspire others, and not to instill fear and dread in them. I don’t want to over explain my feelings because everyone reacts differently to situations. But I just hope that in the future, there’ll be one less person going through

what I did.

“Thank you.”

After the interview wrapped up, the live broadcast received a great response, and Lucia was there clapping along too.

“I’ve been checking out the comments, and many people are saying that you could be a broadcaster with your looks,” she said.

“Oh, really? It’s probably just because you guys are great with makeup. I’m actually pretty average,” Aurelia said, touching her face.

Who was Aurelia trying to annoy? Calling herself ordinary?

With such fair skin, delicate features, and a slight touch of makeup, she exuded a stunning charm that made people’s hearts skip a beat.

But Lucia didn’t say anything else and simply discussed the details of the charity event

with Aurelia.

After that, Aurella left the magazine publisher.

However, as she walked down the stairs, she felt that her back was stiff from sitting for too long. And the thought of taking the subway back made her back ache even more.

Just then, two honks sounded across the street.

Aurelia turned to the source of the sound and saw Leslie leaning against the car door. His long arms were reaching into the window, honking the horn a few times.

Leslie’s tall and slender figure became somewhat surreal in the sunset, and he radiated an indescribable beauty that Aurelia couldn’t help but admire.

He was truly a handsome man.

Aurelia rubbed her waist as she walked over to Leslie and noticed his peculiar gaze.

“Mr. Synder, why are you here? Don’t tell me it was just a coincidence. Your company is miles away from here,” Aurelia remarked. She was almost used to his excuses, but she was never able to guess his thoughts.

“I’m here to pick you up, okay?” Leslie stared at Aurelia. However, he forcibly averted his gaze when he caught the curious glances directed at Aurelia from around them.

Then, with a heavy feeling in his chest, he reached out and pulled the absent–minded. Aurelia closer to him.

Aurelia’s back was already sore, and being pulled by Leslie only made it worse. But she pushed aside the discomfort and focused instead on Leslie’s words.

Leslie had said that he’d come to pick her up? That didn’t sound like something he would.

But upon recalling what Lucia had said about her and Leslie’s marriage, she couldn’t help. but let her thoughts wander.

“Watch out for cars. What were you thinking?” Suddenly, Leslie wrapped his arm around Aurelia’s waist from behind.

“Ouch…” Aurelia was in pain.
