Aurelia felt that something was off.
When she looked at Leslie, she was startled by his cold and distant gaze.
“Mr. Synder…”
“I have something to do. Don’t wait for me.’
Leslie left immediately after that.
Aurelia stood still for a moment.
For an instant, she felt like she could reach Leslie, but an invisible force pushed her far away from
him.
Leslie had once again beca man who kept others at a distance, just like when they first met.
She didn’t even know what had happened.
In the evening, she prepared dinner for the two of them as usual, but Leslie wasn’t heven when it
turned nine.
To be precise, Leslie did not cback that night.

She hastily ate something and went to work.
Halfway there, she remembered she had forgotten to take her high-heels for repair.
“Oh well, maybe tomorrow,” she thought.
When Aurelia arrived at the company, everyone’s expression toward her had changed.
As soon as she sat down, she was surrounded by people.
“Aurelia, was the man who danced with you really your husband?”
“Yes.” Aurelia nodded.
“You’re really good at hiding things. How cyou never brought such a handshusband to meet us? We should have a meal together so can wish you both happiness,” a colleague teased.
“He’s quite busy, and he’s always working overtime. I don’t think he has the time,” Aurelia declined.
She doesn’t that these people were genuinely happy for her.
“Aurelia, it’s just a meal and your husband won’t even entertain us. He seems so arrogant, Are you sure you can control him?” another colleague chimed in.
“Aurelia, I noticed yesterday that you and your husband weren’t really that intimate. He was even late

to dinner with you.”
Sharp voices could be heard from the entrance. It was Kimbely and Millie.
Seeing the duo, everyone looked at them and there was an awkward silence in the air.
2/3
On her way to the company in the morning, Aurelia roughly read through the contents of the group
chat.
Kimberly insisted that she mistook the person in the photo and returned the money to everyone who
went to the restaurant.
Only then did those who were present at the restaurant corrected their statements and stood with
Kimberly again.
Later, Kimbely deliberately posted a photo of her latest suitor, a mixed-race model.
However, no one was willing to indulge Kimbely’s arrogance anymore as they were afraid that they would end up embarrassing themselves again.
Seeing no one paid any attention to her, Kimberly did not speak in the group chat for the entire morning.
Aurelia thought that Kimbely and Millie would’ve minded their own business.
She didn’t expect these two to becmore audacious instead.
Aurelia looked at the two. She didn’t fall for their provocation.

responsibility to share that with you, right?”
Kimberly smiled. “Aurelia, Millie and I meant well. We just think that men should be more outgoing. Why couldn’t you introduce us? We’re your colleagues, after all. Right, everyone?”
In the past, everyone would’ve agreed with whatever Kimberly said.
However, now, only silence could be heard.
Kimberly’s lips twitched as she glanced at Millie.
Millie stepped forward.
“Aurelia, why are you so reluctant to introduce your husband? Are you worried that we might discover something?
“I was baffled as to why you would marry another guy when you were about to get engaged to Seth.
You didn’t even tellabout this.
“Why is that? Had you been cheating all along? Were you just using the fact that Seth didn’t pay you as an excuse?”
Aurelia was taken aback and sensed the gazes on her were changing.

She frowned and stared at Millie.
It was truly ridiculous that Millie was so eager to fight other people’s battle for them.
What would Millie gain from slandering her?
Kimberly didn’t wait for Aurelia to respond and nudged Millie.
