Chapter 299 Back at the house, Aurelia let go of Leslie’s hand and scratched her head in embarrassment. “I’m going to sleep now.” “Alright.” The two returned to their respective rooms. Aurelia sat on the bed and recalled how she and Leslie had looked into each other’s eyes just now. She couldn’t help but bury her face into her pillow. Her thoughts were wandering again. Just then, her phone vibrated. She glanced at it and saw that Leslie had transferred some money her account at the last minute of her birthday. He had given her the same amount of money as Linda. Worried that she wouldn’t accept it, Leslie added another message. “I got a bonus today. “Thank you,” Aurelia replied. She fell asleep that night with a big smile on her face while holding her phone. Perhaps it was because of what had happened with the singing candle last night, but when Aurelia woke up in the morning, she had a feeling that something was about to happen. She habitually opened her work schedule. Today, she had a meeting with the director of a fashion magazine. They were planning to hold a charity banquet and needed to find a partner. Because of the beautiful event she had done for One Technology, they hoped to collaborate with her company this time. Aurelia wasn’t a superstitious person, but she kept getting a bad feeling, which made her a little worried. She quickly got up and prepared to go to the company early to make more preparations to ensure that the negotiations would be successful. After she was done preparing breakfast, Leslie came out of his room. Aurelia handed him a lunch box. “Thank you.” Leslie took the lunch box and sat down to eat his breakfast. Aurelia finished her breakfast quickly and stood up. “I’ll be leaving now. “Alright.” Chapter 299 2/3 Aurelia took her bag and left, not noticing that someone was staring at her from a car parked nearby. After a while, Leslie also left for work. After getting into the car, he realized that the person driving was Cynthia. “Aren’t you sick?” “I called an ambulance last night. I was fine after getting an IV drip. You know that I’m not one to waste time, so I came over this morning.” Cynthia turned around and smiled at Lestie “Alright.” Leslie didn’t say much as he wasn’t interested in the private lives of his employees. Cynthia pursed her lips, remembering the conversation between Leslie and that woman over the phone yesterday. He had seemed so relaxed and natural, as if they had been living together for a long time. After hanging up the phone last night, she still couldn’t bring herself to believe that Leslie would treat another woman so well. So, she had driven there. She had been to this community before and had her name registered, so the security didn’t stop her from entering. She stood downstairs and watched the lights upstairs go out. However, she didn’t see Aurelia leave the building, and her heart sank. Leslie had actually allowed a woman to stay at his place. She stood downstairs for a long time. When it was almost midnight, she saw Leslie and Aurelia coming outside, so she had hidden nearby and observed secretly. She watched as the two spoke until Aurelia pulled Leslie and ran, with Leslie smiling the whole time. This was the first time Cynthia had seen Leslie smile so freely. Cynthia felt threatened by Aurelia, but she would never allow anyone to take away what belonged to her. But first, she had to dispel Leslie’s suspicions about her. Cynthia started the car and said, “Yesterday’s ceremony was very successful. It’s a shame that I had an allergic reaction and couldn’t attend. “In order to find out how it had happened, I called the airline. I thought that they had made a mistake with my meal. It turned out that the coffee I drank when I was leaving the airport was mixed with hazelnut powder. “Oh, by the way, did I drop my lipstick in the car? There should also be some nuts scattered around, right? Did I dirty your car?” Leslie glanced at her. “No.” Chapter 290 3/3 Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief. After returning home yesterday, she found that something had fallen out of her bag. She was certain that it had fallen in Leslie’s car. She didn’t care about the lipstick, but she didn’t want to risk having Leslie discover the pack of nuts.
