Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 

“Mr. Synder, after your success in this event, you should be able to get a raise, right?” 

Leslie was taken aback. Looking at Aurelia’s expression, he knew that she was actually speaking her 

mind. 

When he didn’t respond, she pouted. 

“I knew you wouldn’t say anything even if I asked you about it. We’ve been together for quite a while. now, but you’re still so wary of me.” 

Leslie froze, and a strange feeling rose within him. 

Ever since the incident with his family, he had developed a skeptical nature. He couldn’t trust anyone or feel any real joy from life. 

He tried his best to fill his schedule with studies and work so that he wouldn’t need anyone or anything. 

After seeing all the pretenses and hypocrisy in the business world, Aurelia’s sincerity seemed out of place. 

Despite all the drama in her life, she still tried her best to enjoy it. She never tried to act perfect, and she didn’t mind if her flaws were exposed. 

Meanwhile, Leslie had to think twice before revealing any emotion. 

He was indeed wary of Aurelia. 

Looking at her, he said, “I did get quite a big raise.” 

Her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands. “Congratulations. I thought I was doing great, but what I’ve done seems like nothing compared to your accomplishments. It seems that I still have to work 

hard.” 

“You’re doing fine.” 

“Huh? Mr. Synder, what did you just say?” 

Leslie’s voice was so soft that Aurelia didn’t hear him clearly. 

When she asked him to repeat his words, Leslie turned away to drink his champagne. 

Aurelia didn’t dare to ask further and focused on eating. During this time, she felt several eyes on her. Turning around, she noticed the employees of One Technology staring at her in shock. 

“Mr. Synder, why are your colleagues looking at me like that?” she asked. 

Leslie glanced in their direction, narrowing his eyes and frowning. 

The crowd turned around and dispersed so hastily that Aurelia couldn’t even get a clear look of what

they looked like.

“If they know that we are married, will it be a problem for you?” Aurella was worried that she would cause trouble for Leslie. 

“Are you the one who’s going to have a problem with it, or am I?” Leslie retorted. 

“No, I thought that you. 

She thought that he didn’t want others to know. 

“If they know, they know,” Leslie said, calmly sipping his champagne. 

Aurelia was taken aback, and she blushed. 

A short distance away, several people approached Daniel and grabbed his arm. It caught him off guard, and they escorted him away. 

“What are you doing?” Daniel withdrew his arm and straightened his suit. 

“Mr. Xenos, be honest. How did Ms. Simmons become the boss‘ wife?” a colleague asked. 

“Hush, don’t talk nonsense!” 

“Is it true?” The others were surprised. 

“Don’t blame me for not warning you. Don’t expose the boss‘ identity in front of Ms. Simmons and the others. Remember, the boss is now just a programmer. Keep it to yourself, or else…” Daniel paused, then raised his hand to draw a line across his neck.
