Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

Leslie remained silent as he grabbed the red apron from the wall and draped it over his head. Come over here and help me tie it,he beckoned

Butaren’t we supposed to entertain the guests outside?Aurelia asked

They can fend for themselves,Leslie replied before turning his back to Aurelia, allowing her to tie the apron

Oh,Aurelia murmured as she tied the apron, slyly asking, Is Ms. Whitlock feeling better now?” 

I had Jessica and Maria help her with the wound. It’s not appropriate for a guy to do it,Leslie explained

Yeah.Aurelia nodded. Though she wasn’t sure why she was feeling pleased about it

do?Leslie asked

What should

Let’s rinse the rice, and let’s cook a bit extra. We have a lot of people today. They’re mostly guys, and they eat a lot,Aurelia instructed

While Aurelia gave instructions and continued cooking, Leslie simply helped her on the 

side

Meanwhile, Cynthia, who already had her wound tended to, was desolately looking at the bandage

Then, during a water break, she slipped into the kitchen and peeked at Leslie amid the 

hustle and bustle

Leslie was wearing a red apron, and his slender fingers were weaving through the water as he rinsed the rice. Then, upon spotting Aurelia getting splashed with oil, he immediately shielded her with his hand. After that, Aurelia immediately looked at 

Leslie’s hand first

It seemed like there was no room for anyone else outside of themselves

Unable to bear witnessing this, Cynthia turned away and walked to the balcony

Just then, the sound of the door opening caught her attention

You could’ve just given me a call,Daniel said from a few steps away

Chapter 400 

I didn’t think about it. It happened so suddenly,Cynthia calmly replied

Ms. Whitlock, we’re all part of Mr. Synder’s team. We should have basic problem- solving skills,Daniel said seriously

What do you mean, Mr. Xenos?Cynthia frowned. Are you trying to suggest 

something? Why would I do it on purpose? I drove here for over an hour, and I ended up getting injured like this. Why would I do it for no reason?” 

Ms. Whitlock, I’m just reminding you. But it might not be me next time. So, take care of yourself,Daniel solemnly said

Cynthia lightly smiled and said, Mr. Xenos, are those your words, or Mr. Synder’s? Or did Aurelia say something? I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I had no idea about your dinner gathering today.” 

Daniel glanced at her but didn’t say anything more. Then, he turned back to the room

Once Daniel left, Cynthia’s smile instantly disappeared as she gazed at the distant sun

She was born to be superior, so why should she compare herself to an ordinary woman like Aurelia? She was inherently more noble than Aurelia, so how could she possibly lose to her

To Cynthia, this matter wasn’t over yet

After a while, Aurelia opened the glass door and said, Ms. Whitlock, it’s time to eat. Is your wound okay now?” 

It’s fine. Leslie saidnothing,Cynthia hesitated before limping closer to Aurelia

Meanwhile, Aurelia looked at Cynthia with some hesitation too and wondered what 

Leslie had told her

Then, Cynthia glanced at Aurelia and continued, Ms. Simmons, let’s eat first. Thank you for helping entertain us today

No problem.Aurelia furrowed her brows, sensing something strange in Cynthia’s words. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was odd about them

Leslie and Aurelia had invited everyone for dinner, so it was natural to entertain their guests, right

What did Cynthia mean by helping entertainthem? It made Aurelia feel like an outsider
