Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362 

As soon as she entered the meeting room, she managed to calm her racing heart and quickly assumed her usual professional demeanor. 

Yet, when they stepped in, there was no one in the meeting room. 

Aurelia sighed and said, “It seems they’re trying to intimidate us. 

Leslie found a seat and sat down. “Eva wants to break down your psychological defenses. 

Aurelia smirked and glanced at the side cabinet nearby, saying, “I’m not going to give in so easily. I might as well do something else then.” 

As she spoke, she took out the items she had just bought from her bag and started to tinker with them on the side cabinet. 

As soon as she was done preparing, Eva and her entourage entered the room. 

When Eva saw Aurelia standing at the side cabinet making tea, she couldn’t help but 

sneer. 

“Ms. Simmons, isn’t it a bit late to try to curry favor now?” she mocked. 

Aurelia ignored her tone and said, “Ms. Hanks, I’m not one to sit around. How about we sit down and have a chat? I’ve already made us some coffee.” 

Eva was slightly taken aback by Aurelia’s calm tone. She didn’t appear to be worried in 

the slightest. 

Aurelia had been subjected to a barrage of hateful insults from internet trolls. She didn’t believe Aurelia could endure such relentless attacks. 

Aurelia felt Eva’s gaze and scoffed inwardly. It seemed that even Eva understood that an ordinary person would crumble under the weight of so many baseless rumors. 

Yet Eva still allowed those people to spread rumors and defame her. This suggested that she was well aware of such tactics, rather than being clueless about them. 

Aurelia brought the brewed coffee to the meeting table across from her. 

“Please have some, Ms. Hanks,” offered Aurelia. 

Eva sarcastically remarked, “Ms. Simmons seems to have a knack for this kind of thing. It

seems like you’re quite experienced.” 

Aurelia merely smiled at her remark. 

Eva awkwardly motioned toward the woman beside her and said, “Allow me to introduce Lucia Lawson, Vice President of IN Magazine. Our president is currently overseas attending a major fashion show and is unable to attend to this trivial matter personally. 

She has entrusted Ms. Lawson to handle it. 

Eva’s tone came across as mildly offensive toward Lucia, especially when she emphasized “Vice President” and “trivial matter“. It seemed as if she completely disregarded Lucia 

Lucia was dressed in a white suit, accentuated by a leather belt around her waist. She looked assertive and confident, just like her personality. Even with the delicate touch of her pearl earrings, she still seemed unusually serious. 

She brushed off Eva’s sarcasm and nodded slightly toward Aurelia. 

Aurelia set the cup down before Lucia, saying, “Please have some, Ms. Lawson.” 

Lucia was somewhat intrigued by Aurelia’s cordial demeanor. She then raised her gaze to glance at her. 

Aurelia smiled and turned around to distribute the other coffees. 

She finally walked over to Leslie and briefly introduced him to the people in the room. 

“Leslie Synder, my husband. Now, let’s get things underway, shall we?” she began. 

As soon as she said that, Eva acted swiftly and tossed an agreement toward Aurelia and 

Leslie. 

“Here’s our company’s liability waiver agreement. We hope that Ms. Simmons will take the initiative and assume full responsibility for her actions,” Eva said. 

Aurelia picked up the agreement. It was a thick stack of papers, and it would take at least an hour to read through it all. However, she had barely gotten through two lines when Eva’s impatience kicked in. 

“You should stop wasting your time reading it. Do you even understand it? Do you s think our company is trying to take advantage of people like you?” she mocked.
