Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

1/2

Here, Jackson’s gaze turned cold.

This was the first time that a woman challenged him. Initially, he thought of letting Aurelia face public condemnation and then graciously resolving the situation to make her aware of his

power.

However, Aurelia directly tore off his facade.

A mere junior employee dared to go against him.

“What nonsense are you spouting? You were the one who leaned toward me all of a sudden,” Jackson retorted.

Millie nodded vigorously. “Yes, Jackson is my boyfriend. How could he be interested in other women?”

“So you can explain yourself, after all. When Millie confronted me just now, why didn’t you speak up? She’s your girlfriend. Don’t you think you’d hurt her feelings if you didn’t explain yourself?”

Sometimes, words alone were enough to cause changes.

The expressions of everyone present made it clear that they understood what was truly happening.

This man was merely playing with Millie, so he didn’t care if she misunderstood.

Millie stood there dumbfounded, her designer clothes that once made her feel proud suddenly feeling horrendous.

Jackson appeared indifferent and ignored her with hands in his pockets. “But you did seduce me. Otherwise, how did you end up falling on me?”

Hearing this, Millie glared resentfully at Aurelia.

Aurelia bypassed the two of them and waved to the janitor at the corridor.

“Auntie, did you forget to put up a sign here?”

The janitor had no idea what had happened and apologized repeatedly, “I’m so sorry, someone spilled coffee over there this morning. I rushed to clean it up. I did remember to get the warning sign, but when I turned around to throw away the trash, I forgot. I’m sorry, did anyone get hurt?”

The janitor was extremely nervous. This area had marble floor tiles. If someone fell and hit their head, she couldn’t afford the compensation.

Kimberly waved her hand and interrupted her. “Alright, I don’t care what you think. This is our workplace, so please correct your attitude. Are you planning to argue with me here?”

With that, she went to console Millie.

Millie wanted to maintain the impression that she was deeply in love with Jackson, so she threw herself into his arms and turned to shoot a smug look at Aurelia.

Jackson tapped her on the back casually, but his gaze remained fixated on Aurelia.

Unable to stand his gaze, Aurelia figured that there was no point in arguing further and hurried into the elevator.

Inside the elevator, everyone kept their distance from her like she was a virus,

Meanwhile, Jackson gave Millie a few words of comfort before urging her to go upstairs impatiently.

“Millie, you are going to be late. You are my friend, but I’ve just been promoted so I can’t let things slide,” Kimberly chimed in.

Millie agreed and tip-toed to kiss Jackson on the cheek shyly, before running into the elevator. Jackson wiped his cheek and looked at Kimberly with a smile. “Is that Aurelia your colleague?”

“What do you want?” Kimberly asked.
