Chapter 57
Aurelia could tell that Leslie’s suit was very expensive. What if a drop of blood stained it?
“Aurelia, how long do you plan on keeping your foot raised like that?” Leslie urged.
“Hold on.”
Aurelia quickly opened her bag and took out three tissues. She folded them together before placing
them on Leslie’s knee.
Leslie was surprised by her actions and said, “It’s just a pair of pants.”
Aurelia lowered her eyes and said casually, “Mr. Synder, it’d be such a waste if those pants were
ruined. You look so good in them. I just… don’t want to get them dirty.”
After saying that, she lowered her head.
What was she saying?
After hearing that, Leslie’s finger accidentally grazed Aurelia’s ankle, causing the both of them to fall
silent.
An indescribable atmosphere surrounded them.
Aurelia discreetly lifted her gaze and observed Leslie calmly tending to her wound.
She felt relieved.
Leslie looked at the wound. Although it wasn’t deep, it was quite long, extending from the ankle to the

But there was another matter… with that foot.
Aurelia sensed Leslie’s gaze and wiggled her toes, attempting to pull her foot back.
“Don’t look at my…”
Foot..
“The wound is quite long. A regular adhesive bandage won’t cover it completely. I’ll wrap it with gauze
to prevent an infection,” Leslie calmly interrupted, continuing to clean Aurelia’s wound with iodine.
“Thank you.” Aurelia was not only grateful to Leslie for treating her wound, but also for interrupting her
and preserving a bit of her dignity.
Although she had always felt that her capabilities mattered more than her appearance, the fact was
that she wasn’t very confident in how she looked, especially after she had to listen to all of
Seth’s comments.
“Your waist is too thick. My friend’s girlfriend’s waist is only as wide as one of his palms, but it’s okay. I
like you the way you are.”
“You have freckles on your face. It doesn’t make you look good, but I don’t mind. No matter how bad
you look, you’re still my precious darling.”
“It’d be better if your thighs were a little slimmer. You shouldn’t wear pants anymore in the future since
you don’t look good in them. Just wear dresses so that your thighs can be covered.

up.”
Aurelia recalled Seth’s words, feeling a little self–conscious.
Seth’s comments had all been said carelessly, but they had affected her a lot back then.
Since she struggled with doubts about her appearance, she tried to make up for it by improving her
skills. But deep down, she still felt a little inferior because of his words.
Seeing Leslie’s reaction now, she realized that a true man wouldn’t demonstrate his generosity by
belittling someone.
The more Aurelia thought about it, the more nauseous she felt.

Seth was her first love, so she had cherished that relationship. However, she had unexpectedly fallen
prey to Seth’s manipulation.
Looking at Leslie, whose personality differed from his cold appearance, Aurelia’s thoughts took an
unexpected turn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat if she asked Leslie to accompany her to the company tomorrow? He would probably agree, right?
She simply wanted to sever ties with Seth as soon as possible. She really didn’t have the energy to
deal with him now.
Thinking about it, she opened her mouth but hesitated. In the end, she decided not to say anything.
What if Seth went to make trouble for Leslie? Seth was undoubtedly capable of such actions if it
benefited himself.
One Technology was now one of the most famous companies in the Seacester business district.
If the company deemed that Leslie’s personal affairs were affecting its reputation and chose to
terminate him, wouldn’t that be Aurelia’s fault?
She should just forget it. She should deal with her own problems herself.
“Does it hurt? What’s with that expression?” Leslie frowned..
“It doesn’t hurt. I was just… thinking about what would happen to that man earlier.”
Aurelia told a little lie, not wanting to get Leslie involved.
Leslie’s brows furrowed as he said, “You’re injured. How can you still think about others?”
Aurelia pursed her lips and looked down at her injury, just in time to see the mixture of blood and iodine
almost dripping onto her high heels.
Bloodstains were difficult to clean. She didn’t want any of that to get on the shoes her parents. had
given her.
