Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

“Aurelia, you're literally grinning from ear to ear.”

As soon as he looked at Aurella, he could see the huge smile on her face even though her head was lowered.

In fact, he was also taken aback by his own explanation.

Why was he explaining himself?

There were others who had misunderstood the relationship between him and Cynthia in the past, but he felt that his rejection of her was already very clear. It wasn’t his problem if others still misunderstood things, and he couldn't be bothered to waste his time explaining anything.

However, when Aurelia had hesitated to ask him about it, he had explained everything almost immediately. He didn’t want Aurelia to misunderstand.

But why was she different from others?

Leslie didn’t understand, but he felt relaxed after explaining himself.

At Leslie’s words, Aurelia looked up and touched her lips. Then, she pursed her lips and glared at him. How could someone joke around with such a stern face?

“Let's go and get something to eat,” Leslie said.

Aurelia rubbed her stomach and nodded before following him.

However, there were many guests there today, and she was soon pushed to the back of the crowd. All the guests present were rich and powerful, so she didn’t dare to get in their way and could only try to walk around them.

At that moment, a hand reached out to hold her hand and pull her closer.

When she looked up, she realized that it was Leslie.

His tall and slender figure stood out among the crowd. This, coupled with his commanding presence, attracted many gazes, even though he was just an ordinary company employee.

By shielding Aurelia, Leslie unintentionally drew attention to her too. Some people even cast envious glances her way. She blushed, and she began to understand why Millie found it hard to resist the envious gazes of

others.

How should she put it? She felt genuinely happy.

When they reached the table, Leslie poured a glass of sparkling water for Aurelia, while he poured

himself a glass of champagne.

Aurelia calmed down after drinking the sparkling water. She then picked up the pastry Leslie offered her. She paused for a moment when she noticed that there were almond slices on it.

“Mr. Synder, did your colleague suffer from anaphylactic shock because you accidentally gave her something to eat?”

“No, she said the food provided by the flight crew had nuts added to it,” Leslie replied indifferently.

“That’s strange.” Aurelia frowned.

“What's wrong?”

“| used to have a colleague who also had severe allergies, but she didn’t tell us because she was afraid that we would alienate her if she spoke up.

“One time, we all bought a fruit cake to celebrate a big contract, and she ate some of the cake base soaked in fruit juice. She immediately broke out in a rash and passed out.

“The doctor said that it was anaphylactic shock, which occurs within seconds or minutes of exposure to something one is allergic to. If your colleague’s condition was that severe, shouldn’t the reaction have happened on the plane?”

Aurelia was merely expressing her doubts without thinking too much about it. Because she had witnessed the terrifying effects of severe allergies, she found the situation strange.

It would have taken at least ten minutes or more from eating the crew meal to disembarking and waiting for the luggages. If the woman’s allergies were really that severe, she wouldn’t even have been able to meet Leslie.

Leslie listened with a somewhat serious expression and tightened his grip on the glass in his hand. Aurelia paused for a moment, thinking that she had said something wrong. “Did | say too much?” Leslie snapped back to reality and took a sip of the champagne. “No, your question is valid.”

“In any case, your cr

should avoid these allergens in the future. Otherwise, you might

accidentally trigger a serious reaction.”

“I'll make sure people are aware of that,” Leslie said thoughtfully.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Before Aurelia could say anything else, someone bumped into her from behind.
