Chapter 306 The jewelry was indeed a beautiful sight. Aurelia ordered something random to eat and then started stealing glances at the jewelry across the glass wall. She hesitated to be too obvious in front of Leslie. After all, she didn’t have the money to buy jewelry, and if she kept staring, Leslie might think that she was hinting at something. Still, no woman could remain unmoved when faced with such a sight. Aurelia could not do it, in any case. So she stole glances while she sipped on her water, in between bites, and when she wiped her mouth. The necklace before her looked great. When she looked at the price, she noticed it cost 25 thousand. She thought it was essentially daylight robbery to charge that much for a necklace. The bracelet next to it cost the same as well. “This is absurd. A bracelet isn’t even as long as a necklace, so why do they cost the same?” she thought. Aurelia glanced around. Eventually, a ring displayed on a seashell caught her eye. It was a simple rectangular cut diamond with a ribbon–like pattern on the band. In the center of the ribbon, there was a ruby gem. There was no price tag on it. She assumed it was also absurdly expensive, so she did not let her gaze linger too long. However, she could not stop herself from glancing at it repeatedly. Perhaps she was looking at that ring because Kimberly showed off her ring earlier that day. Looking away, she noticed that Leslie was exceptionally quiet. He didn’t even make’a sound while he ate. “Mr. Synder, what happened?” He wouldn’t have invited her to a meal if nothing happened. “Yesterday’s presentation went well. More companies are approaching us for collaborations, so I’m happy,” Leslie said. “That’s great. But… did Leon Synder give you any trouble?” “No,” he said. Leon wouldn’t dare to and the Synder family couldn’t afford such humiliation. Chapter 306 2/3 From now on, Leon’s life would only become increasingly challenging. Aurelia felt relieved after hearing that. The photo of Leon’s stunned expression was spreading everywhere, and she couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling. She couldn’t forget the smiling yet sinister look in Leon’s eyes. He didn’t seem like someone who would easily give up. Just thinking about it caused her eyelids to twitch again, and she immediately rubbed her eyes. Leslie raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? You’ve been rubbing your eyes since earlier.” “I didn’t sleep well last night. My eyes are tired, so my eyelids keep twitching.” “Let me see.” Aurelia hesitated and wondered to herself, “See what? How?” As she was pondering, his face approached her. Leslie’s face was still flawless from every angle except for the faint dark circles under his eyes from staying up late. Aurelia tensed up awkwardly as she recalled her freckles, acne, and dark circles from lack of sleep. Before she could step back, Leslie’s warm fingertips touched her eyelids to examine if there was a foreign particle in it. As she realized what was happening, Aurelia tried to move away but was too slow. Leslie had already lifted her eyelids. He remained true to his straightforward nature, showing no inclination to be gentle. “Nothing’s wrong. There’s nothing in there,” he said thoughtfully. Aurelia sighed and nodded. She had gotten used to embarrassing herself in front of Leslie. At the sight of her disheartened expression, he asked, “What’s wrong?” Aurelia pursed her lips. “It’s… nothing.” She finally understood what her colleague meant when she said men working in the IT industry were not romantic. Aurelia continued eating when suddenly a shadow fell across the glass wall opposite her. Chapter 306 An eerie gaze pierced through the wall.
