Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308 

Seth was practically a sugar baby. 

Seth was instantly offended. 

“Defamation is a crime,” he typed in the office chat group. 

Someone immediately posted a video of Seth holding dozens of shopping bags. He was slapped on the head simply because he couldn’t help adjusting the woman’s shirt. 

In the video, Seth smiled sheepishly without daring to stand up for himself. 

Seth left the group chat within three seconds of the video being posted. This amused Aurelia. 

The mere mention of Seth felt like referencing a stranger to her, leaving her remarkably calm. 

Seth was dead set on staying in the big city and managed to do so. Still, his marriage would indeed be 

miserable. 

Aurelia smiled. Just then, Leslie got into the car and handed her a bag. 

Taken aback, she picked up the bag. 

“What is this?” 

He maintained a calm look. 

“I happened to…” 

“Happened to walk into the jewelry store?” 

She mimicked the way he squinted. 

“Yeah.” 

She fell silent, realizing Leslie would never admit to doing anything nice. 

She extracted the box inside and realized it was the ring she had her eyes on earlier. 

She thought Leslie was focused on his food and didn’t pay attention to what she was staring at. In the 

end, he noticed it. 

“Why are you giving me this?” she asked in confusion. 

“Just treat me to a meal over the weekend. A ring would make us appear more like an ordinary couple, ” he said. 

“That’s true,” she said. 

Aurelia placed the box back into the bag, feeling a bit disappointed. 

It turned out that Leslie only wanted to keep their colleagues from noticing anything odd. 

When Leslie saw her stuffing the box into her bag, he asked suspiciously, “Why aren’t you wearing it? 

“I’ll wear it over the weekend so that it’ll have less wear and tear. Maybe we can return it in the future. 

Leslie’s gaze darkened. 

Aurelia immediately took out the ring. 

“I guess I can get used to it in advance.” 

After putting on the ring, she found it fit perfectly, surprising her. 

She wondered how Leslie knew her ring size. 

“I ought to know after we’ve held hands so many times,” he said. 

Aurelia fell into silence. 

Suddenly, she felt like the air was heating up. 

She panicked and tried to divert her attention to something else by handing the receipt to Leslie. 

“Keep the receipt. We can exchange it for another model later or resize it.‘ 

Their marriage was fake, and they would inevitably part ways when Linda’s enthusiasm faded. 

The ring would be useless to him then. However, he couldn’t simply waste his money. She thought exchanging it with the receipt would be a good option. 

Leslie was rendered speechless by Aurelia’s considerate gesture. 

Still, wasn’t this the outcome he had anticipated long ago? Why was he so angry? 

“Suit yourself,” he said.
