Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 

Inside the conference room, the tension continued to rise. 

Daniel repeated, “Ms. Simmons, please sign the contract.” 

“Alright” 

Aurelia walked up to Kimberly and reached for the documents and the pen in her hands. However, Kimberly refused to let go and held onto them tightly. 

She glared at Aurelia the whole time, looking as if she wished to swallow her whole. 

Ignoring her, Aurelia forcefully took the documents and the pen, then signed her name under Kimberly’s hostile gaze. 

Daniel collected the documents and stated solemnly, “Our company’s opening banquet is on the first day of next month. The remaining matters will be entrusted to you.” 

Aurelia nodded. “Certainly, we won’t let you down. Mr. Xenos, please thank your boss for trusting us.” 

“Sure, I’ll convey your gratitude,” Daniel replied. 

During the conversation, Aurelia involuntarily glanced at the small robot on the table. She felt as if its mechanical eyes had been fixed on her the whole time. 

As she was lost in thought, the overhead speakers suddenly played the original voice of the small robot. 

“Currently opening the last webpage for you. Searching for content: How to cook without getting hot? How to install a household shower, installation video, installation diagram…” 

With a click, the sound was cut off. 

It seemed like the boss of One Technology had accidentally connected to the robot’s external speaker while opening a webpage. 

Instantly, everyone in the conference room looked as if they had discovered something incredible. 

Aurelia paused, feeling that these search terms sounded strangely familiar. However, before she could contemplate further, a cold mechanical voice echoed through the microphone. 

“Meeting adjourned.” 

Immediately, the small robot fell silent again. 

To protect the boss’s reputation, Daniel quickly stepped forward and changed the subject. 

“Mr. Zeller, Ms. Watson, Ms. Simmons, let me escort you out.” 

“No, thanks. We’ll see ourselves out,” Zachary said with an unpleasant expression. He turned and walked out. 

Kimberly, who had embarrassed herself today, quickly followed Zachary out of the conference 

room. 

Aurelia felt a little awkward, but she couldn’t complain publicly in another company. She 

certainly couldn’t allow the client to think that there was internal discord within her team. 

So, she remained polite and exchanged pleasantries with the others. 

Outside the conference room, Kimberly couldn’t catch up to Zachary and could only watch as he took the elevator and left. 

She stamped her foot in frustration. 

Coincidentally, several employees of One Technology were waiting for the elevator. The undisguised disdain in their eyes when they saw Kimberly made her wish she could disappear into the ground. 

Running out of options, she hid in the restroom. 

She thought she could escape from everyone by doing so, but she heard two men talking outside the door. 

Initially, there were no female employees in the office, so the smoking area was located in the corridor outside the restroom. 

When the two receptionists were hired, the other men started minimizing their smoking sessions so that they wouldn’t scare them away. 

Still, they would forget about the ladies sometimes, especially when they were busy. So, they would occasionally stand outside the restroom to smoke and chat.
