Chapter 283

On the way to the venue, Aurelia thought of many excuses for Leslie, but none convinced her.

After all, Leslie wasn’t the kind of person who would make promises about something he was uncertain of. If he made a promise, It meant that he had already made preparations or adjustments

for it.

Was there some emergency situation?

Aurelia’s mind was in chaos, and her emotions were in turmoil. She didn’t know why she had become

like this.

After patting herself on the face, she calmed down and chose to believe in Leslie.

Upon arriving at the venue, Aurelia went to replace her colleagues first. They exchanged greetings as Aurelia looked around the place.

Wasn’t Ian, the boss of One Technology, also supposed to be there?

“Where’s the boss of One Technology?” she asked.

“He hasn’t arrived yet. Someone from One Technology just said that he’ll be late due to some issues on the way.”

Hearing this, Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief.

The boss of One Technology was closely associated with Leslie, so maybe Leslie had to attend to that

sudden matter.

The boss‘ orders would be undoubtedly challenging to disobey.

Just as she was thinking about it, her colleague said mysteriously, “I heard that it has something to do

with a woman.”

Aurelia paused.

A woman? Wasn’t Ian interested in men?

Her colleague whispered again, “I heard that the woman is quite formidable. She’s the only female employee in the overseas branch, and she has a special relationship with their company’s most handsome programmer.

“The boss had even specially asked him to pick her up. I don’t know why they haven’t arrived yet. Maybe there’s a passionate love affair going on…”

The most handsome programmer?

This clearly referred to Leslie.

Passionate love affair?

Chapter 283

The thought of Leslie with another woman made Aurelia’s chest tighten, and she even started to feel a little angry.

But her reason reminded her that she and Leslie were only in a contractual marriage. However, the contract explicitly stated that no infidelity was allowed during the marriage.

Why would Leslie do this?

Before she could think more about it, Daniel approached her.

“Ms. Simmons, welcome. Everyone loves the event you’ve planned. I’m here to entertain you on

behalf of the boss.”

“Thank you.” Aurelia suppressed her uneasiness and smiled politely.

“Come, let me introduce you to a few people.”

“Me? Is that appropriate?” Aurelia was stunned, not expecting lan to be so courteous and willing to

introduce clients to her.

“Of course. You’re a guest here today, so it’s necessary for everyone to get to know each other.”

With that said, Daniel made an inviting gesture.

Aurelia had no choice but to smile and follow him.

But her concern about Leslie’s situation made her distracted. After hesitating several times, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Xenos, do you know where Mr. Synder went?”

“He went to the airport to pick someone up because…” Daniel paused.

“Because?” Aurelia asked, frowning.

“Because that’s what the boss wanted.”

Daniel initially wanted to explain that Leslie was late because of Cynthia’s allergic reaction. However, Cynthia was someone unique, and he didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings.

After all, Cynthia was the only female employee in the company, and in everyone else’s perspective, she was someone special to Leslie.

It was easy for others to misunderstand their relationship, but Daniel knew very well that Leslie simply saw Cynthia as an ordinary employee.

It wasn’t that Leslie was discriminative toward women and didn’t want to hire other female. employees. It also wasn’t because all the women fell for him.

In the past, they had recruited many female employees who were all very capable. However, they all inevitably got married and had children.

This was something to be celebrated, and the company also compensated them with salaries and benefits in accordance with the law.
