Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 

Leslie rarely interacted with female employees, so he didn’t pay much attention to these matters. Moreover, in his company, competence was the primary criterion, and gender was never a consideration. However, it might not be the same in other companies. 

Aurelia continued, “I’m just a regular employee trying to earn a living. In our field, news spreads quickly. If I upset a client, there’s no shot at landing another job with a different company. This world doesn’t stop for my problems, not even for a moment.” 

Leslie pondered this for a moment. 

It’s true. 

Aurelia sighed softly. She poured a little more tea for Leslie and smiled, “Luckily, I distanced myself from you a while back. If anything were to happen to me, it wouldn’t impact you.” 

Leslie raised an eyebrow, realizing that Aurelia’s distant behavior in front of others was to avoid causing trouble for him. 

She checked her watch, realizing the networking event was about to end. 

“Mr. Synder, I still have work to do. I’ll head downstairs now.” 

Watching her retreating figure, Leslie furrowed his brows and asked, “Why did you stand in front of me just now?” 

“Have you forgotten? We’re married now. You even fought that foreigner for my sake. I couldn’t just let you get hurt. Good thing you’ve got some skills. 

“Alright, I really need to go now.” 

Aurelia hurriedly opened the door and left. 

Leslie snapped back to reality, gazing at the steaming tea before him, lost in thought. 

A moment later, Daniel knocked on the door and entered. 

“Mr. Synder, the acquisition is settled.” 

“Good.” Leslie took a sip of tea and said coldly, “About the foreigner from earlier…” 

“I’ve found out his details. How should we handle it?” 

“I don’t want to see him again.” Leslie slammed his teacup down, shattering it into two pieces, with tea splashing everywhere. 

“Understood.” 

After consoling herself, Aurelia entered the networking event hall. Unexpectedly, she crossed paths with Kimberly, who walked over with a smirk. 

“Aurelia, you’re quite busy, huh? The networking event has already wrapped up, and now you. decide to show up.” 

“When it comes to being busy, who can keep up with you? Not only do you come up with plans within the company, but you also provide advice to others outside of it.” Aurelia retorted sarcastically. 

Kimberly’s smile froze momentarily, and she countered, “What nonsense are you spouting? Do you have any evidence to support your claim that I’ve caused you harm?” 

“Did I mention that you harmed me? Are you so eager to confess?” Aurelia sneered. 

“You…” Kimberly gritted her teeth. “You have time to nitpick with me, but you better think. about how to explain things to the company. Mr. David had an unpleasant altercation with the organizers when he left. Do you think the company will let it slide? He’s a foreign guest!” “Kimberly, do you lack confidence in yourself so much that you seek to tear others down?” Aurelia retorted. 

“What do you mean by that?” Kimberly said in frustration.
