Chapter 10
Aurelia opened the door slightly, extending a hand to push out a copy of the agreement without stepping out from her room.
“Sorry about your coat. My wet hair got on it. I’ll wash and return it tomorrow.”
“And the clothes you left on the sofa should be done in the washing machine. Dry them yourself.”
“Oh, if you have any secrets you find hard to share, I’ve organized events for hospitals before so I know many doctors. I can introduce you.
Leslie hesitated. A hidden secret? Did he seem like the kind of person involved in such matters?
Just as he was about to inquire, Aurelia’s bedroom door had already closed.
Well, should he bother explaining to her what a hidden secret meant?
Leslie turned towards the laundry room on the balcony, opened the washing machine, and found it filled with clothes Daniel had bought to create chaos.
Displeased, Leslie took out the clothes, preparing to throw them away, and a pair of underwear fell out.
Leslie finally understood what Aurelia meant by a hidden secret.
It seemed Daniel was asking to be fired.
Leslie angrily threw all the clothes into the trash bin.
On his way back to the room, he passed the guest bathroom.
Earlier, Aurelia mentioned the shower in the guest bathroom was broken, and he always felt she was just making excuses.
Leslie, almost involuntarily, entered the guest bathroom, turned on the shower, and found not drop of water coming from the overhead.
After inspection, he realized there was a problem with the water pipe. Such an issue couldn’t be intentional, so Aurelia didn’t lie to him.
Which of her statements were true, and which were false?
At 6:00 am, Aurelia reflexively woke up to her alarm. She stretched and quietly headed to the kitchen after a quick wash–up.
Aurelia habitually opened the fridge to minimize her presence and avoid encounters with Leslie.
However, she was puzzled by its sparse contents–just a few eggs and half a bag of toast.
Leslie seemed unlike an ordinary person. He was sustaining himself on such a meager fare, which was a testament to that.
Unable to prepare a proper meal, she settled for a simple egg sandwich.
While taking a bite, Aurelia found Leslie’s ethereal face unexpectedly crossing her mind.
Without much thought, she prepared breakfast for him, acknowledging the struggles of a working person who had taken Linda’s money.
Ready to leave by 7:30 am, Aurelia briskly made her way to the subway with her bag.
Half an hour later, Leslie P

He then realized there was an additional presence in the house, but seeing the vanished shoes at the doorway, he knew Aurelia had already left.
Well, he appreciated women who knew when to leave.
Putting on his shoes, Leslie left the house without a backward glance.
As Aurelia entered the office, the company was still relatively empty.
Thinking about the stagnant strategic plan for One Technology, she quickly sat down and opened her computer to gather her thoughts.
After pondering for a while with a head full of only those few words from the materials, she decided to check which companies had their proposals rejected last night.
Surprisingly, they were some of the top advertising agencies in Seacester, with over a decade of planning experience and a history of managing various events.
They had all been turned down by the owner of One Technology.
What kind of opening banquet did the owner want?
While flipping through the documents, Aurelia noticed that the liaison for this collaboration was Jason, the manager from One Technology.
She immediately went online to look up Jason’s information.
Since Leslie didn’t want to provide details, but he didn’t stop her from seeking information from someone else, Aurelia, noting the time was 8:30 am, a suitable time to start the workday, decided to call Jason.
However, no matter how many times she called, it went unanswered.
Aurelia smiled back and, using the excuse of wiping the desk, gently pushed Kimberly’s soft body away.
“Mr. Lynch’s already taken, I heard. Staying late chatting with him–his wife must be pretty chill?”
