Cynthia heard Leslie's voice as she exited the office.

“Let’s all have a gathering at my place this weekend.”

She paused and thought, “Leslie, who hates socializing, is inviting others to his place?”

She stared into the office in disbelief and happened to observe each movement Aurelia and Leslie

made.

Aurelia looked up and tugged at his clothes before saying, “Mr. Synder, you shouldn't use that tone when inviting

others.”

Leslie looked impatient, but his tone remained relaxed.

“It’s just a simple meal. You've all been working hard, so let's celebrate the recent launch.”

Everyone was taken aback by his tone. Seven pinched themselves in disbelief.

They never thought that their boss would be approachable.

“Thank you, Mr.-Leslie!”

Aurelia leaned closer to Leslie in confusion.

“Why do they always address you so respectfully? It’s not like you're that old.”

“Maybe they're just jealous,” he deadpanned.

Aurelia laughed.

“Mr. Synder, you have been making many jokes lately.”

It then dawned on Leslie that he was getting along with everyone, which was unimaginable in the past, even

though these people were his trusted subordinates.

Aurelia smiled and said, “Mr. Synder, that’s great. Keep up the good work.”

Leslie looked at her smile and nodded, somehow feeling reassured.

Outside the door, Cynthia watched the scene unfold and felt like Leslie had taken everything she had just done

as a joke.

She clenched her bag tightly and turned to walk into the elevator expressionlessly.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she maintained her aloof demeanor.

The steady clicking of her heels echoed confidently, and even the security guards in the building greeted her

with respect as she passed by.

Cynthia felt affirmed by their behavior. She thought people were divided into different classes. Aurelia would

never reach her level, so she would never consider Aurelia her equal.

Aurelia was simply not up to her standards.

However, once she got into her car, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

Even the steering wheel creaked under her tight grip.

Cynthia couldn’t help but pound on the steering wheel until she couldn't mask the resentment on her face any

longer.

Leslie had given her a warning for Aurelia’s sake.

“How dare he?” she thought.

She had worked tirelessly for Leslie for many years, yet Leslie always rejected her advances.

Aurelia had only been with him for a few months, yet he was a completely different person.

Cynthia wondered why Aurelia should reap the fruits of her labor. She refused to believe she would

lose to such an ordinary woman.

After venting her frustrations, Cynthia calmed down and called her friend, Eva.

Indeed, Eva was her friend.

They had been best friends since high school. Eva beca model during college, so they didn’t see

each other that often.

However, their relationship remained strong in private. Not many people knew about their

connection.

Eva contacted her when she learned Cynthia was back in the country.

When Eva learned that there was another woman named Aurelia next to the man Cynthia secretly admired, she

was excited to hear more.

It was a mere coincidence that Aurelia’s next big client happened to be IN Magazine, and Eva happened to be

the director of the charity ball this time.

To help Cynthia vent her frustrations, Eva went to Aurelia’s office to embarrass her and even spread rumors

about Aurelia’s lack of professionalism.

They thought it would be enough to make Aurelia’s life miserable, but to their surprise, Aurelia was still doing

well in the company.

Eva found this strange and asked curiously, “Cynthia, who exactly is this man you're secretly in love with? How

does he manage to protect Aurelia so well? Even the boss of Young Advertising is constantly speaking up for

her.”

Cynthia hesitated momentarily.

She had never told Eva that the man she secretly loved was Leslie, the brilliant young man who had made a

nfor himself abroad.

She wanted Leslie all to herself.

Whenever Eva asked, she would simply say he was a decent-looking colleague.

Eva was accustomed to seeing handsmen and beautiful women in the fashion industry, so she had become

numb to them.

She often advised Cynthia not to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of one man.

Cynthia never listened. Eva couldn't understand the benefit of becoming Leslie's girlfriend or wife.

Aside from Leslie himself, there was his vast business empire.

Cynthia believed she was the only one worthy of him because they were in sync at work, shared the sideas,

and made decisions together.

With such harmony, why couldn't they be together?

Cynthia felt it was only a matter of tbefore they were.

She refrained from revealing Leslie's true identity to Eva, fearing she wouldn't lend her a helping

hand.

“He’s a young and promising developer at One Technology. With One Technology thriving in Seacester, no one

dares to offend him,” she said casually.

This wasn’t entirely a lie, as Leslie had asked everyone to keep his identity secret.

“Ah, | see. Can't you aim a bit higher? Instead of going for all the wealthy and influential people abroad, you're

fixated on an employee of a tech company. Even if he’s good-looking now, probably be just an average Joe with

a receding hairline in the future.”

Eva clucked her tongue disapprovingly.

“Eva, | just like him. | don’t want anyone else but him. If it weren't for Aurelia, he would definitely have feelings

for me,” Cynthia said firmly.

“Wait a minute... You're not callingjust because of Aurelia again, right?”

Eva immediately guessed the problem.

“Yeah.”

Cynthia briefly explained the recent events but didn’t mention her role in making things difficult for Aurelia.

Instead, she portrayed Aurelia as a very scheming woman.
