Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia was confused because she didn’t know Eva.

Eva was a legendary woman. She started off as a rather famous model overseas. She then started working in the fashion industry and succeeded in many media firms.

IN Magazine later hired her, and she became the fashion director when she returned to the country.

She was far more successful than Aurelia in every possible sense.

Aurelia’s life was ordinary and similar to that of the majority of the population.

She studied hard and got into a mediocre college. Then, she worked a normal office job, and that was

1. it.

She could understand why Eva looked down on her, as she had the right to look down on others. However, she didn’t think Eva would look down on others without reason.

Hence, Aurelia asked her friend to investigate.

Her friend didn’t reply even as she was getting off work.

Just then, Zachary made an announcement to everyone.

“I announce that Aurelia and Kimberly will be responsible for the charity ball hosted by IN Magazine.”

Aurelia was taken aback. IN Magazine specifically requested her to take the job, so she couldn’t

understand the reason for Kimberly’s involvement.

She was about to protest when Zachary shot her a glare.

“Aurelia, be modest. You’ve already crossed Ms. Hanks. Don’t be too sure of yourself.”

Aurelia thought if she protested further, she would come across as arrogant.

“Aurelia, don’t worry. I won’t mess around with the company’s future, okay?” Kimberly said.

Aurelia didn’t believe her, but there was nothing much she could say.

The matter was settled just like that.

Aurelia clocked out of work with a heavy heart.

As she stepped out of the building, she received a call from her friend.

“Aurelia, I asked around. Did you somehow offend Ms. Hanks? She’s telling everyone that you’re unprofessional and even claimed you charged a hefty fee for organizing the opening banquet for One Technology.”

The phrase “hefty fee” was lightly spoken by her friend but carried a clear message.

If a woman excelled at work, people would assume that it was either because of her background or

that she was splling her body.

Her friend’s words clearly indicated the latter

Aurelia frowned

“It was my first time meeting her. I have no idea how I managed to offend her. Is she difficult to get along with?”

“She’s extremely strict. Working under her felt as though even breathing could pose a problem. You Think it’s easy? Be careful. She’s petty. If she dislikes you, she’ll make your life a living hell,” her

friend warned.

“Alright, Lunderstand.”

“If there’s any update, I’ll contact you again.”

After hanging up, Aurelia sighed softly. She contemplated visiting IN Magazine’s office tomorrow before making any decisions. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Back home, Aurelia rested for a while before quickly preparing dinner. However, Leslie still hadn’t returned by 7:00 pm.

Leslie had excellent manners. Even when he had some misunderstandings with her at the beginning, he would always notify her in advance if he couldn’t make it home to avoid wasting her time and food.

Thus, she found the day’s events strange.

Aurelia picked up her phone and dialed Leslie’s number.

The call was quickly answered, but Leslie was not the one who picked up the call.

Instead, it was a woman. It was also a voice that Aurelia was particularly familiar with.

“Hello, this is Leslie’s phone. Just tell me what you need.”

Aurelia paused. The words uttered weren’t a big issue, but she wondered what the woman meant by just tell me what you need“.

Shouldn’t a normal response be “Please hold on, I’ll get him” or “Let me take a message“? Why did it sound like she was speaking on Leslie’s behalf?
