Chapter 6
This proposal was crucial for Aurelia, concerning her promotion and salary increase, and influencing her and her mother’s future.
Despite being married to Leslie, judging by his attitude, she had to plan for her future.
Hesitation aside, Aurelia didn’t care whether she was familiar with Leslie.
After all, clients went from being unfamiliar to familiar, right?
She opened Leslie’s WhatsApp.
“Mr. Leslie, are you busy?”
The message seemed to vanish into a black hole with no response in sight. Leslie might be occupied.
Half an hour later, Aurelia sent another message.
“Mr. Leslie, are you at One Technology?”
The message was accompanied by a picture of Leslie’s employee ID.
A minute later, Leslie’s reply appeared on the screen, still concise.
“What’s the matter?”
“Do you know your boss’s preferences? Like, what he likes and dislikes.”
Aurelia was straightforward to avoid wasting Leslie’s time.
“Are you interested in our boss?” Leslie’s reply came after another long minute.
“Yeah.”
Who wouldn’t be interested in the boss?
After waiting another lengthy minute, Leslie replied, “He doesn’t like someone like you.”
Huh? Aurelia stared at the chat, momentarily confused.
What did he mean by “someone like her“? Just as she was contemplating, she caught her reflection on the glass window.
Suddenly, she understood Leslie’s implication. Her most prominent feature was probably… being a woman.
“I got it.”
“Leslie replied with ellipses.
“Don’t worry. I won’t casually!
Leslie might not believe her.
your boss’s dislike for women,” Aurelia added, fearing
“Nowadays, things are quite open in the country. There’s no need to pay too much attention to such matters,” Aurelia’continued.
Leslie remained silent.”
Aurelia rolled her eyes. This man was truly indifferent. If he chose not to respond, he wouldn’t.
At his office in One Technology, Leslie put down his phone with a gloomy expression.
He couldn’t help wondering what on earth was on Aurelia’s mind and how she ended up thinking he liked men.
Daniel asked softly, “Mr. Synder? Will the meeting still proceed?”
Leslie’s thoughts returned.
He had wasted three minutes on Aurelia, of all people.
“Continue,” he said expressionlessly.
On his left, Jason said, “Mr. Synder, Young Advertising would like to collaborate with us. They said they would send over the proposal for the opening ceremony next week.”
“Young Advertising?” Leslie furrowed his brow, recalling his mother’s constant praise for Aurelia’s abilities, labeling her as Young Advertising’s ace planner, and so on.
He suddenly understood Aurelia’s subtle intention in approaching him.
She aimed to leverage his status as a One Technology employee to shortcut securing collaboration between Young Advertising and One Technology.
The gold–digging woman sure had her tricks. However, he was curious to see what kind of proposal someone like her could come up with.
“Mr. Synder, any issues?” Jason cautiously asked.
“None, continue reporting,” Leslie replied composedly, setting a serious atmosphere in the office.
An hour later, the meeting concluded, and Leslie waved his hand, prompting everyone to rise. As his gaze swept over the room, he noticed everyone in the group was men. For some reason, he recalled Aurelia’s misunderstanding about him liking men.
His slender fingers tapped his forehead twice as he glanced at Jason.
“Jason, come here.”
“Mr. Synder, what do you need?” Jason inquired.
“Hire a few female employees.”
Jason was taken aback. “Didn’t we specify in recruitment that we don’t want women?”
“I said hire,” Leslie said nonchalantly.
As others in the meeting room heard this, they all stopped, seemingly frozen.
