Chapter 290
Most importantly, she could feel that his muscles were really defined.
What was Aurelia thinking?
She felt like something was wrong with her. In the past, she had hugged Seth, heard his heartbeat, and felt his warmth before. But Seth had no muscles.
No, she didn’t care about muscles. It really wasn’t that!
She just didn’t understand why hugging different men would feel so different.”
“Aren't you hot?” Leslie's voice sounded from above her head.
“I'm fine.” Aurelia stole a glimpse at Leon. When she saw that he was still staring at them, she kept hugging Leslie. “Alright.” Leslie smiled and placed a hand on her back, as if he was holding her back.
Aurelia was slightly taken aback. Although the air conditioning was cold enough, she still felt like she was burning.
As she was trying her best to calm herself down, she felt someone staring at her. But it wasn’t Leon since the gaze came from a different direction from where he was standing
Who was it? She looked up and saw a woman with long hair. However, a few guests walked by, and the woman soon vanished from sight. “What are you looking at?” Leslie asked.
“Nothing.” Aurelia shook her head and changed the subject. “Mr. Xenos said that your boss has prepared gifts. Why didn’t | know about this?”
“You'll know soon,” Leslie said mysteriously.
Aurelia thought that one Technology’s employees weren't allowed to say more, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
Cynthia couldn't resist coming to the venue out of curiosity.
It was an old steel factory with unique decorations on the inside and on the outside, creating a distinctive atmosphere.
She adjusted her sunglasses and tried to avoid her colleagues. Finally, she stood in front of a giant potted plant and saw Aurelia. Chapter Pa
She initially thought that Aurella would be someone remarkable, only to find that she was rather ordinary besides her good looks. How could Leslie be attracted to such a seemingly ordinary woman?
Just as Cynthia was pondering about it, she overheard the conversation between Aurelia and Leslie about her allergic reaction.
Cynthia then realized that there was more to Aurelia than meets the eye. With just a simple remark from her, she had managed to make Leslie suspicious of Cynthia.
It seemed that she wasn’t as ordinary as she appeared.
Even before they had formally met, Cynthia felt like Aurelia was already scheming against her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Luckily, Cynthia had come to the venue. Leslie would definitely investigate her allergies now.
Leslie disliked deception, and he wouldn’t spare her if he found out the truth.
Cynthia glared resentfully at Aurelia. When she saw Aurelia looking at her, Cynthia swiftly left the venue, as if she had never been there.
Meanwhile, not far away, Leslie and Leon exchanged glances.
Leon narrowed his eyes, a surge of anger welling up within him.
How dare a mere programmer look at him like this? Was working at One Technology really that impressive?
In this city, everyone was supposed to obey the Synder family.
When he thought about the display of power from One Technology today, Leon was unable to tolerate it any longer. He snapped and headed toward the dance floor.
His assistant quickly grabbed hold of him. “Mr. Synder, your father told you not to act recklessly today. We have to reach an agreement with One Technology today.”
Leon said, “We're being generous by working with One Technology. They shouldn’t think that they can trample on the Synder family because of this. | can’t embarrass the boss of One Technology, but | can at least toy with a mere programmer.
Since lan dared to ignore him, he would take his frustrations out on that programmer to show everyone who the real ruler of Seacester was.
