Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 

Aurelia didn’t have any courage to keep listening to Leslie. 

She forcefully hung up the phone and slumped onto the floor. 

When she broke up with Seth, she was devastated as well but managed to recover shortly after. 

However, Leslie’s words made her feel suffocated. 

It turned out that in Leslie’s eyes, she was just an item bought by Linda. 

That was why he would exchange a few words with her when he was happy and disappear when he was not. 

Aurelia took a deep breath and ran outside. 

If Leslie threw the heels away today, she might still be able to retrieve it. 

When she reached downstairs, thunder rumbled in the sky. As soon as she approached the trash bin, a heavy rain poured. 

Meanwhile, in One Technology. 

Outside the window, the rain drummed against the windows. 

There was a dead silence inside the meeting room and everyone wore an expression of despair. 

Leslie seemed to have gone mad again. If the problem at hand wasn’t solved today, no one would be allowed to leave the meeting room. 

Just a few days ago, everything seemed fine with Leslie. 

What pissed him off after answering a phone call? 

Daniel looked at Leslie and recalled the belongings of a woman in his house. 

After some contemplation, he felt something was wrong and decided to seek help. 

An hour later, Linda entered the meeting room with food, and everyone stood up in respect. 

“Ms. Miller.” 

“Alright, take a 30–minute break in the lounge. Have some food, and then we’ll continue.” Linda waved her hand. 

No one dared to speak and they all turned to look at Leslie. 

2/3 

Leslie wore a dark expression and waved his hand in dismissal. 

Everyone stood up to take the food and leave. 

Holding the food, Linda walked up to Leslie and said softly, “I heard you stayed at the company last night?” 

Leslie frowned upon hearing this and shot a glare at Daniel, who shrunk his neck and exited the meeting room. 

“Don’t blame Daniel. He’s just worried about you. Is something wrong?” 

“No,” Leslie replied, expressionless. 

“You’re my son. Don’t you think I can tell when something is bothering you? Is it related to Aurelia? Didn’t you two go on a date a few days ago?” Linda asked, puzzled. 

“It wasn’t a date.” 

“Leslie, you’re not planning to abandon her, are you? You rogue!” As Linda spoke, she raised her hand and slapped him on the shoulder. 

Leslie frowned. 

Linda pointed at him. “Aurelia may have dated before, but her ex–boyfriend never treated her well…” 

Leslie felt frustrated just from the mention of “ex–boyfriend” and interrupted her. 

“I don’t want to hear it. You delivered your things. It’s raining out there, so you should go.” 

“Why you…Leslie, why exactly are you upset? I know you. You are a reasonable person. Just look at you now. You look like an angry little boy.” 

Leslie stiffened at her words, but he soon regained his composure. 

“You’re overthinking it.” 

Linda fell into silence. 

She was enraged by his attitude, but could not bring herself to argue with him. 

Leslie had always been independent and never let others meddle with his affair. 

It was already quite fortunate that she managed to get him married. 

At the moment, she hadn’t a clue as to how she could get him to open up. 

Outside, the employees were all having their meals while whining about working 

overtime. 

Daniel took a sip of coffee and was mentally prepared to stay up all night alongside Leslie.
