Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 156 If the plagiarism accusation wasn’t clarified, it would lead to the termination of the collaboration. Not only that, deliberately concealing information from the client could also result in a termination of the collaboration. Daniel’s words struck what the boss cared most about. If news of this incident spread, Young Advertising’s reputation would plummet. […]

Chapter 155 The abrupt interruption drew everyone’s curious gaze toward the conference room door. It was Daniel. He stood there with two tall young men on either side of him. They were dressed in white shirts and black trousers, and they were all carrying laptop bags. Despite their simple attire, they exuded confidence and charisma.

Chapter 154 By the time breakfast and the lunchboxes were ready, the clothes were done being washed. She hurried to the balcony to hang the clothes. Halfway through, she inevitably came across Leslie’s boxers. It was no big deal. After all, she had washed her father’s boxers when he was sick. She trembled and glanced

Chapter 153 Everyone looked in the direction Aurelia was pointing at and saw the clock. It was 1:20 pm. There were still ten minutes left before their lunch break was over. Millie’s expression darkened. Instead of apologizing, she intended to just brush things aside. “I told you that it was an accident. What else do

Chapter 152 “Then, I’ll head back to my company now.” “Alright.” Leslie nodded and turned to enter the building. “Mr. Synder, hold on.” Aurelia stepped forward and handed him half the box of pastries. ” These are for you. I’ll be going now.” With that, she waved her hand and got into the taxi. Leslie

Chapter 151 Leslie’s gaze sharpened. He wondered if his mother had told Aurelia about his true identity. “What else could I be?” he asked coldly. Aurelia didn’t sense anything odd. After all, Leslie had always been cold and distant. “Maybe a businessman. You’re just as cunning as one,” Aurelia replied with an awkward laugh. “A

Chapter 150  Aurelia was taken aback and showed five fingers at Leslie. “How about five hundred?”  He narrowed his eyes and felt speechless.  She was once in a relationship, yet she knew nothing about being in one.  How could married couples discuss money?  He reached out and poked her on the forehead gently. “Is money all you can think of?”  “Huh?” She froze. Where Leslie touched felt like it was on fire and her heart raced.  Leslie paused as well when he realized that his action was slightly out of line.  He withdrew his hand and took a sip of his water. Clearing his throat, he said, “Buy me a meal.  11  “Isn’t that what I’m doing now?” Aurelia glanced at the dishes on the table.  “Aurelia, do you know how much you owe me? How many days has it been since you last made me lunchboxes? Are you seriously going to even things out just with a meal after that presentation?”  “How about I give you five hundred and you can have whatever you want with it …” Before she could finish her sentence, his sharp gaze silenced her. Changing her mind, she said, “Sure, Mr. Synder. I’ll treat you to a grand meal.”  “He is so scary,” she thought. “He was calm just now and got upset the next moment.”  Leslie’s furrowed brow relaxed. “I’ll choose the place.”  “Oh.” Aurelia returned to the main topic. “So, is there any way to salvage my situation?”  “For now, the company wants you to write a self–reflection and read it aloud in public.”  “How did you know that? How are you even aware of our company’s internal matters?” Aurelia stared at Leslie in disbelief.  Leslie was supposed to be a programmer, so how could he be so well–informed?  Their company wasn’t particularly large, and the recent growth didn’t warrant news spreading everywhere.  Leslie remained unwavering. “Mr. Lynch mentioned it. He is connected with Kimberly’s social media account.”  Aurelia nodded. Kimberly was the type to broadcast every detail in her friend circle, after all.  “No wonder. Now, Mr. Zeller doesn’t want me to cause any trouble, so he wants me to submit the self–reflection in advance. If I refuse, it’s insubordination. If I write it, I’ll be confessing to a crime I didn’t commit. That’s why I came to you,  “The director is supporting Kimberly because she has a wealthy uncle. If you want to control Kimberly, you need to start from this angle.” Leslie provided a brief analysis.  You even know that Kimberly has a rich uncle?” Aurelia looked at Leslie in amazement, then shook her head in denial. “Her uncle treats her like a daughter. He even covered the expenses  Chapter  for her study abroad. How can I control her with that?”  “However close the uncle is with her, he’s not her father. He won’t tolerate the damage to the company’s reputation caused by Kimberly unconditionally. For a business, impact on  reputation is fatal.”  “Impact on reputation?” Aurelia pondered his words, and suddenly it clicked. “Are you suggesting that I …‘  ”  “Yes. When the time comes, do you think her uncle will protect the company or his niece?” Leslie asked casually.  In both morality and reason, Kimberly’s uncle had done everything for Kimberly. If Kimberly damaged the company’s reputation, he wouldn’t support her unconditionally.  Even if he used her as a shield to overcome the crisis, others wouldn’t condemn him for it.  Without her uncle’s protection, Kimberly’s position in the company would be entirely different. Aurelia guessed that at that time, Kimberly wouldn’t have the leisure to scheme against her.  Aurelia gazed at Leslie with a steady look

Chapter 149 Aurelia was momentarily stunned before she grasped the situation. “Mr. Synder, I’ve already sought your help. The current situation is a result of my mishandling of the matter.” “You know what I’m referring to,” Leslie said. Aurelia knew he belonged to One Technology, and asking him to seek intervention from the higher-ups wouldn’t

Chapter 148 “Take it.”  “But I …” She was holding her purse in her left hand and her laptop bag on the right, so she couldn’t spare a hand to hold the umbrella.  Leslie didn’t say a word and simply took the bags from her, before shoving the umbrella into her hand.  Despite his cold exterior, he was very considerate.  Smiling, Aurelia said, “Thank you.”  However, when they opened the umbrella, the two of them froze under the sun.  On the outside, it looked like an ordinary black umbrella. However, there was a picture of a muscular man on the inside of the umbrella.  Leslie narrowed his eyes and started wondering where Daniel hired all these strange people from.  “I borrowed it from someone.” He cleared his throat and urged, “Let’s go.”  “Okay.” Aurelia suppressed her laughter and glanced at the muscular man on the inside of the umbrella.  When both Leslie and she got drenched in the bathroom, she noticed that he had a muscular build as well, though not as exaggerated as the picture on the umbrella.  Recalling how the wet shirt outlined his abs, she felt her blood rushing to her head.  “Aurelia.”  “Huh? Yeah?” She snapped out of it.  “You are about to bump into the tree,” Leslie said with resignation. “What are you thinking?”  “Nothing.” She shook her head and glanced at the umbrella guiltily.  He glanced at it as well and realization dawned on her. “How naughty.”  “Naughty? What does he mean?” Aurelia thought. Not daring to ask him about it, she picked up her  pace.  They found a simple restaurant near the building and ordered two–set meals. Aurelia discreetly glanced at the prices and they were reasonable.  She finally understood why Leslie had chosen this somewhat distant restaurant despite passing by many others under such hot weather.  He knew she probably didn’t have much money.  Before the food arrived, Leslie casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, a move that seemed effortless yet exuded a casual sense of beauty. This instantly caught the attention of the surrounding office workers.  “What’s wrong with the computer?” he asked.  Chapter 148  2/2  “It’s just…the files are gone.” Aurelia hesitated. Not wanting to trouble Leslie, she refrained from mentioning that she had been schemed against.  Little did she know that Leslie had overheard it all outside her hospital room yesterday.  He took a sip of water. “Were they deleted by someone?”  Aurelia looked surprised. “How did you know? Can you recover them? They are quite important.”  “It won’t be hard.”  “Thank you.” Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief.  “But even if you bring back the restored files, what’s the point?” he asked.  “Well…” Aurelia hadn’t thought that far because she just wanted to prove her innocence.  “They can still claim forgery. Unless you have a foolproof solution, it will be a never–ending problem. Sometimes avoiding trouble doesn’t mean trouble won’t find you. Instead of dodging trouble, it’s better to resolve it. The same thing applies to troublesome people.”  Leslie’s voice was calm, but each word weighed heavily on Aurelia’s heart. It felt

“No,” Aurelia said. Zachary frowned. “Complete it by tomorrow and show it to me. This is to prevent you from making a fool of yourself in the meeting. It’s settled. Everyone, get back to work.” With that, he left. Aurelia fell into silence. Was it really to prevent her from making a fool of herself?
