Chapter 178
“Alright,” Aurelia replied back.
Millie’s expression darkened as she mumbled, “Let’s ignore her and wait for her to make a fool of
herself.”
Kimberly could tell from Millie’s expression that Aurelia was not at the wrong seat.
Who gave her the right to sit there? Was it her husband?
That couldn’t be.
Her husband was supposed to be an ordinary salaryman who was still paying his mortgage.
Kimberly assumed it was her husband’s foolish effort to appear rich.
There were plenty of men like that and Aurelia would suffer in the end.
“Aurelia’s dress is so pretty though. I think it’s from Mulan as well,” a colleague murmured.
“It’s a fake. That dress has a wait-time of one month. She couldn’t possibly get her hands on it.”
The colleague sighed. “Why has she become this way? Wearing a fake dress to a high-end restaurant
to act rich.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMillie sneered. “Out of jealousy, I’m guessing.”
They all nodded and changed the subject.
“Kimberly, I skipped breakfast for this meal. Why hasn’t your boyfriend arrived yet?”
Kimberly glanced at her watch.
She told Jackson to book a table at noon, which was a few minutes away.
“Soon. Lawyers are punctual. I’m sure he’s stuck parking his car.”
“You should all remember not to embarrass Kimberly. Don’t act like you’ve never been to places like
this,” Millie reminded everyone.
“You talk as though you’ve been to this sort of place.” One of the colleagues glanced at her mockingly.
Just then, another colleague that was watching the entrance of the restaurant eagerly pinched the arm
of the person next to her.
“He’s here! He’s here! He looks a hundred thousand times more handsome than in the pictures.”
The waiter opened the door, and Leslie walked in wearing a black suit.
With a tall figure and dazzling features, his nobility and demeanor stood out.

Even someone like Kimberly, who had seen her fair share of handsome men and beautiful women, was
momentarily stunned.
Millie and the other colleagues turned to Kimberly with smiles on their faces.
“Kimberly, your boyfriend is here. Hurry up.”
Kimberly curled her lips and slowly stood up, preparing to leave a good impression on him.
“Mr-“Before she could finish her sentence, Kimberly paled.
Without even glancing at their table, Leslie walked straight to where Aurelia was sitting.
Aurelia heard his voice, looked up, and gave him a smile.
Kimberly’s mind went blank as she stared blankly at the table where Aurelia sat.
It wasn’t until whispers from her colleagues reached her ears that she snapped out of it.
“What’s going on? Isn’t he Kimberly’s boyfriend? Why is he so close to Aurelia?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m confused now. Whose boyfriend is this guy?”
“Isn’t Aurelia supposed to dine with her husband today? Could that be…her husband?”
Just as everyone hesitated, a deep voice spoke.
“Kimberly, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Everyone was shocked. The man in front of them was around 1.75 meters tall, and he definitely
weighed around two hundred pounds.
He smiled amiably.
Kimberly was stunned, “Who, who are you?”
The man frowned.
“I’m Howard Carn. Didn’t you ask Jackson to arrange a meeting between us? You said you wanted to
get to know me. Looking at you now, I wouldn’t mind that.”
Everyone was silent.
