Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 

Aurelia quickly poured a glass of water for Leslie. “Are you okay?” 

Taking a sip of water, he frowned. “You’re usually so composed. What’s going on in that head of yours? Today, it’s either a lot of talking or gossip.” 

Aurelia chuckled and mumbled, “Well, don’t blame me for being curious. You have this look, and he’s into men, yet he seems to value you so much, so I couldn’t help but wonder…” 

Leslie set down his glass, a mixture of laughter and exasperation on his face. “Do you still want to eat?” 

Aurelia nodded. “Yes.” 

Why wouldn’t she eat the food she had prepared herself? 

She took a bite of smoked barbecue ribs but felt slightly choked. She wanted some clam chowder but realized she had forgotten to bring a spoon. 

“Oh dear, I forgot to bring a spoon. Wait a moment,” Aurelia said as she got up and hurried into the kitchen. 

Leslie watched her retreating figure, inexplicably curving his lips. The warm light above cast a beautiful glow on the dishes, making them look even more delicious. 

A month ago, he returned to his home country filled with hatred, never imagining he would experience such a scene. 

After a while, Aurelia returned with a expression. 

1. on. She handed it to Leslie, and he took it with a calm 

After finishing their meal, Aurelia placed the dishes and utensils in the sink before heading toward the bedroom. 

“I’m going to my room first.” 

“Okay.” 

Leslie got up, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to do the dishes. His movements were becoming increasingly skillful. 

Seeing this, Aurelia was momentarily surprised. She hadn’t expected a man doing the dishes to look so handsome. 

“Is there anything else?” Leslie lowered his head as if he could see her. 

“N–no,” Aurelia replied nervously and rushed back to her room. 

After finishing washing the dishes, Leslie came out of the kitchen and faintly heard sounds. coming from Aurelia’s room, 

“Hello, um… by the way, how should I address the CEO of One Technology? I don’t even know his last name. 

“Never mind, we’ll find out when the time comes. Hello, CEO, I’m Aurelia, the presenter of this proposal. For our grand opening, we’ve chosen a futuristic theme…

“No, I can’t talk this much. A CEO this important probably wants to avoid hearing me blabbering. Oh dear, I’ve never been this nervous in all my years in this industry! May the heavens bless me and ensure that the proposal gets approved!” 

Aurelia began praying fervently. 

She was unaware the apartment’s front door was the original one, which did not provide much sound insulation. Leslie could hear every word she uttered in the hallway outside her room. 

Leslie couldn’t help but feel amused. She was a competent person professionally, but she seemed quite lively in private. 

However, he also realized a crucial issue. Although he had been controlling the media coverage of his return, he hadn’t expected to get married so soon after his return. Once Aurelia went to One Technology, she would quickly discover that the CEO shared his name. 

Their current relationship was neither particularly close nor antagonistic. Hence, he did not want to complicate things unnecessarily. 

After some contemplation, Leslie turned and entered his bedroom, dialing Daniel’s number.
