NovelEnglishChapter 317
Aurelia and Leslie stared into each other's eyes in silence, both trying to read the other.
Her heart raced in the face of his handsfeatures, and she felt a sudden urge.
She couldn't hold back the words from spilling from her lips.
“Mr. Synder, who do you like if you don’t like someone else?”
She screamed inwardly and froze.
“Why did | ask that? What exactly am | trying to do?” Aurelia thought.
Leslie seemed slightly moved. This was the first tshe saw the twirl of emotions in his eyes in such
proximity.
Frowning, he moved his lips when he was interrupted by the person next to him.
“The delivery guy isn’t sending the food up. I’m in the middle of something, so can someone pick it up for me?”
“I'm busy, too. Just get the delivery guy to drop the food off in the lobby.”

“My pasta is going to get soggy!”
Aurelia immediately distanced herself from Leslie and stood up.
“I will pick the food up for you. You guys carry on working...”
With that, she darted out.
It wasn’t until she was inside the elevator that she started panting heavily.
Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she saw herself blushing.
Rubbing her face, she could still feel Leslie's breath caressing her cheeks.
“I'm going mad. Oh, what was he going to say just now? | should have asked him. Wait, should I? No, | don’t dare
to,” she said aloud.
Aurelia felt like a fool for talking to herself in the elevator.
As she stepped out, the doors closed behind her. She caught a glimpse of a woman in a black dress walking past
her but didn’t see clearly.
She didn’t pay much attention and headed directly to the lobby, where she found everyone's takeout.
She thought there wouldn't be much, but the men’s appetite for food surprised her.
Each takeout box was as big as a pot.
She wondered if they could consall of that.
Charly $17
Upon further thought, she realized they must have overworked their brains and were tavenons.
Aurella struggled with five bags in each hand and three takeout boxes in her arms.
She even had to use her foot to press the elevator door open. Once inside, she felt like her arms were
about to be torn off.
When the elevator doors finally opened, she hurried towards the office,
Even before entering, she heard cheerful voices conversing from inside.

“Ms. Whitlock, thank you so much for bringing us coffee,”
“I happened to pass by a coffee shop and thought of you guys, so i bought some.”
The woman's voice was gentle and soothing. Aurelia felt relaxed just listening to it.
Ignoring their conversation, Aurelia rushed in nervously with her hands full.
“The delivery’s here.”
A ten-dollar bill was handed to her when she set down the food.
“Thank you for going through the trouble of bringing this up. Consider this a tip. It’s not easy for a young lady
like you to deliver meals so late.”
Aurelia was taken aback. Looking up at the money, she saw a gorgeous woman standing before her.
Brown curls adorned her head, and each inch of her hair shone perfectly. This was a testament to how well she
cared for her hair.
Her black dress revealed just enough skin to exude femininity without going overboard, Confidence radiated
from her bright and self-assured eyes.
This was a gentle yet formidable woman. That was Aurelia’s first impression of Cynthia.
