Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 16

Aurelia’s face blushed further as she stepped forward, covering the robot’s mouth. But it was

of no use.

It had already begun reading aloud the proper restroom posture, causing quite an awkward situation.

Watching Aurelia’s flustered state, Leslie couldn’t help but find it oddly amusing.

“The player is at the back of its head. You covered the wrong place,” Leslie remarked.

Feeling utterly embarrassed, Aurelia contemplated covering her face with so many people watching.

Unexpectedly, Leslie promptly pulled her behind him.

With a few taps on the robot’s screen, Leslie transformed it from displaying embarrassing information

into a series of characters.

His slender fingers gracefully tapped on the screen, and the robot blinked its eyes, now functioning

properly.

“Hello, how may I assist you?” the robot asked.

“No, it’s fine.” Aurelia shook her head decisively, not daring to ask for assistance again.

Leslie waved his hand, and the robot turned and left.

He calmly stated, “There was a program error, causing it to give you the wrong directions. It’s not your

fault.”

Aurelia was taken aback and lowered her head slightly.



“Thank you.

She promptly closed her mouth, realizing that this embarrassing incident was just another awkward

moment in front of Leslie.

Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to derive any pleasure from her misfortune.

This contrasted with her memories of Seth, who always reveled in her mishaps during their three years

together.

“Haha, look at you. Isn’t this too embarrassing? Who else can tolerate you except for me?”

Aurelia felt a sense of injustice as she recalled those moments.

She used to be so blind.

Feeling a bit dissatisfied, she was distracted by the lively booths ahead.

Aurelia hurried over and stood beside Leslie, listening to the host’s definition and vision for technology.

At that moment, Aurelia’s heart started pounding.

Eagerly opening her notebook, she was surprised to find that the mistakes had been corrected, and the

confusing parts now had complete answers.

Chapter 16

She only gave her notebook to… Leslie.

Turning to look at Leslie beside her, she said, “Mr. Synder, thank you.”

Because of the noise from the crowd, Leslie couldn’t hear clearly, bending slightly.



“What?”

“I said… Um…”

thank you,

Aurelia raised her notebook to express her gratitude, but before she could say forceful push from the

crowd caused her lips to accidentally brush Leslie’s face… through the notebook

Leslie furrowed his eyebrows, clearly not expecting such an incident.

Aurelia blinked, and beneath the scent of ink and paper, she detected Leslie’s cold tobacco fragrance,

making her heart race uncontrollably.

It wasn’t until the thunderous applause reached her ears that she regained her composure, quickly

turning away.

“Thank you, no, sorry.”

“Mm.”

Leslie clenched his fist, suppressing a hint of something peculiar.

Aurelia tightly gripped her notebook, stealing a glance at Leslie.

He remained as cold and indifferent as ever, seemingly unfazed.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Leslie’s chilly voice sounded beside her.



“Your notebook has many mistakes. You’re too unfamiliar with a place like this. Why did you come? You

don’t need to go to such lengths.”

After all, she had already aligned herself with Jason.

Hearing this, Aurelia couldn’t help but lift her head to look at him.

“Mr. Synder, did you already understand so much from the beginning?” She inquired.

“More or less,” Leslie replied nonchalantly.

Clearly, intelligent people like him don’t belong in the same world as us,” she mused. She pursed her

lips and said, “Mr. Synder, there aren’t that many clever people in the world. We ordinary folks have to

rely on hard work to move forward. Do you really think so many people willingly run around outside on

such a hot day? Isn’t it all due to life’s constraints? So, no matter what difficulties I encounter at work, I

have no way out. I can only grit my teeth and understand it because I don’t want to give up.”

After finishing, Aurelia smiled at Leslie.

Her smile entered Leslie’s subtly cold eyes. He remained silent.

Not wanting to bore him, Aurelia lowered her head to continue taking notes, searching for the so–called

professional breakthrough.

“You wrote it wrong,” Leslie reminded in a deep voice.

Chapter 16

“Oh,” Aurelia responded, lowering her head to correct it.

She suddenly felt that it was pretty harmonious interacting with Leslie like this.



Later, the two of them visited several exhibition halls. Whenever Aurelia was puzzled, Leslie would

casually offer a few useful words.

Based on the professional knowledge she heard, Aurelia scribbled and drew in her notebook, even

forming a rough outline of an opening ceremony process.

This trip was worthwhile, at least for providing her with a clear direction.

At this moment, Leslie received a phone call.

“Yeah, I’ll be right there.”

Judging by his serious expression, it should be about work.

Aurelia tactfully said, “Mr. Synder, if you have something to attend to, go ahead. I should return to my

company, too.”

Leslie nodded and turned to leave.

Aurelia was accustomed to his cold demeanor and walked towards the exit without concern.

Just as she stepped out, two men in suits bumped her, and her notebook fell.

She quickly picked up the notebook, but the two men didn’t apologize and continued walking inside.

“Ian’s here?”

“Yes, heard he already inspected the place.”

“Quick, quick, I must meet this big shot today.”

Ian?!



The boss of One Technology!

Aurelia didn’t care about the lack of an apology; she turned around and followed the two men.

Sure enough, a group was chasing someone toward the side door.

She quickened her pace and, amidst the hustle, saw a somewhat familiar face.

Wasn’t it Leslie?

Aurelia quickened her pace. Just as she was about to get a clear view of the face of the crow, pair of

pointed high heels blocked her way.

‘Aurelia, what a coincidence.”

t was Kimberly.

Aurelia wondered what she was doing here.

How about you? Are you here to see him, too?”



Aurelia frowned, pressing her lips together.

Kimberly patted her shoulder and continued, “Aurelia, I told you not to waste your efforts. This time, I’m

a shoo–in for the collaboration and assistant manager position.”

“Oh, by the way, the boss of One Technology has already left for the airport. You probably won’t catch

up with him.”

With that, Kimberly walked away in high heels, leaving Aurelia with furrowed brows.

Glancing towards the side door, she saw the people who had chased after lan returning with

disappointment.

Aurelia, determined, clutched her phone.

She noticed Kimberly had posted a new post: “Meeting the boss of One Technology was a delight.

Grateful for the appreciation.”

The accompanying picture showed a man’s back. It seemed Kimberly had indeed met the

elusive Ian.

Feeling frustrated, Aurelia returned to the office. As soon as she entered, she saw Zachary walking

excitedly towards Kimberly.

“Kimberly, well done! You managed to win over the boss of One Technology so quickly.”

Colleagues applauded, casting envious glances at Kimberly. She responded, “Thank you, everyone.

Rest assured, I’ll be even more dedicated to the company in the future.”

The scene looked like her performance review meeting.



Uninterested, Aurelia attempted to return to her workstation but was spotted by Kimberly.

“Aurelia, did you manage to reach the car of the One Technology’s boss??” Kimberly exclaimed loudly.

With that comment, everyone’s gaze turned towards Aurelia. The looks in their eyes shifted to disdain

and mockery.
