Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 

At that moment, Daniel’s call came in. 

“Mr. Synder, the morning meeting is about to start. You might be late.” Daniel heard the sound of water and hesitated. “You’re not washing dishes again, are you?” 

“Yeah,” came Leslie’s casual response. “Daniel, go get a fan for me. 

“What do you need it for?” Daniel inquired curiously. 

“It’s so hot doing the dishes,” replied Leslie. 

Daniel was speechless. He wondered why Leslie 

I gave off the vibes of a family man. 

Leslie soon finished cleaning up. After drying his hands and straightening his clothes, he noticed the packed lunch boxes on the table. Without much hesitation, he grabbed them and headed downstairs. 

As he got into the car, Daniel noticed the blue bag in Leslie’s hand. 

“Mr. Synder, you’re too kind. You even brought me breakfast,” Daniel remarked. He then reached out to take the bag, but Leslie stopped him with a tap on the hand. 

‘Buy your own if you want to eat. Give me the morning meeting files,” Leslie instructed. 

“Okay.” Daniel refrained from any further jokes and promptly handed over the files. 

Flipping through the documents, Leslie’s expression turned serious and composed. He resembled a cold yet mesmerizing statue–one that invited attention but discouraged proximity. 

Meanwhile, at Young Advertising, Aurelia reached the company just right on time. 

After clocking in, she breathed out a sigh of relief. Aurelia settled into her seat and wiped away her sweat. It was then that Millie approached her with a mischievous grin on her face. 

Aurelia felt uncomfortable with Millie’s intense gaze. “What’s up? Is there something on my face?” 

“It’s not about your face, but your lips,” Millie replied with a teasing grin, followed by an air 

kiss. 

Aurelia hastily covered her mouth. Her face, which had just calmed down, flushed red again. 

Millie teased, “Aurelia, are things that intense for newlyweds?” 

“No, it was just a bump,” she tried to explain. 

Pointing to her lips, Millie joked, “Ah, I get it. You ‘bumped‘ into your husband’s lips.” 

Aurelia pushed Millie’s chair lightly and focused on her work. She said, “I’m not in the mood for chitchat right now.” 

‘Seriously, Aurelia, I feel a bit sorry for you. You’re quite attractive and capable. Even if don’t choose Seth, you could find someone better. Maybe someone more, well, appealing?” 

Millie avoided the term “ugly” and used “appealing” instead.

Aurelia didn’t quite understand Millie’s point and responded, “He’s actually a good person.” 

Millie sighed and relented. “Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy.” 

At that precise moment, the clear clacks of high heels echoed from the door. Everyone instantly recognized the arrival without having to look it was Kimberly. 

The colleagues glanced up as Kimberly entered with new branded attire. It was as if Florence’s derision didn’t concern her at all.
