Chapter 286 1/2 Leon looked at her. His cold gaze swept over hier. Aurelia pursed her lips anxiously and said, “I’m sorry.” Leon approached her, but Daniel stopped him and said, “Mr. Synder, let me take you to your seat.” Leon looked away from Aurelia and stared at Daniel with contempt. “Sure. I look forward to seeing those so–called gifts that you’ve prepared.” “This way, please,” Daniel said. After Leon left with Daniel, Aurelia could still sense his gaze on her. Feeling uncomfortable, she turned around to chat with her colleagues. She checked her phone when she noticed that Leslie still hadn’t arrived yet, even though the ceremony had already started. Was he not coming? It seemed like that woman was really important to him. Suddenly, a slender arm reached out in front of Aurelia. She looked up in surprise. “Mr. Synder, you- “What’s wrong? You addressed me, didn’t you?” The person in front of her was actually Leon. Aurelia was stunned for a moment, then she took a step back. The dark expression on Leon’s face was now replaced with an amiable smile. “Miss, don’t you think it’s rude of you to run off right after you said you were sorry?” Aurelia pursed her lips, struggling to comprehend what he meant. He handed her a glass of wine and said, “Don’t be nervous. You looked scared just now, so I came over to check on you. Let’s have a drink together and consider this our apology to each other.” Aurelia stared at the glass in his hand and didn’t move. Her colleague nudged her from behind and whispered, “Drink it. This is Mr. Synder. You can’t afford to offend him.” If they upset Leon, Young Advertising could possibly just go bankrupt tomorrow. Aurelia didn’t want to cause trouble at the event, so she reached out to take the glass. However, before her hand could touch the glass, someone else took it from her and downed it.. “Mr. Synder, is forcing a lady to drink also part of the Synder family’s upbringing?” Chapter 286 2/2 Leon’s eyes instantly turned icy. “Who are you?” Who dared to challenge him? Leslie stood in front of Aurelia. His presence was so imposing that even Leon’s bearing that exuded. danger became a little insignificant in front of him. “I’m Leslie Synder, her husband.” “Husband?” Leon looked at Aurelia. “Are you married?” Aurelia nodded. “Yes.” Leon’s expression suddenly darkened, and he glanced at Leslie, as if he was trying to determine if he was telling the truth. Leslie simply chose to ignore him and turned around to leave, taking Aurelia away with him. Leon’s face was tense. Someone actually dared to ignore him! He turned to his assistant and asked, “Who is he?” “A programmer from One Technology.” “What about that woman? I saw Daniel deliberately protecting her just now. I was planning to go for her, but this guy suddenly showed up halfway. What a pity…” AST As Leon spoke, his gaze lingered on Aurelia. She was such a beautiful doll. She was prettier and more interesting than any other doll in his collection. The assistant leaned in and said, “She’s the planner for this ceremony. Here’s her business card.” Leon took the card and looked at the name on it. “Aurelia Simmons. I’ll remember that name. Leslie led Aurelia to the other side of the hall. “Stay away from him in the future,” Leslie said. He felt an inexplicable displeasure, especially when he saw the way Leon was staring at Aurelia. He even had the urge to punch him. It wasn’t the first time Leslie felt that way when facing Leon anyway. “Okay.” Aurelia nodded, deliberately keeping a distance from Leslie. Leslie sensed that something was off and asked, “What’s wrong?” 1/2
