expression.

Truly hypocritical.

Leslie's gaze cooled. He gave a perfunctory “Mm,” attempting to bypass Aurelia.

Unexpectedly, as he turned, Aurelia placed her bag on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him. Simultaneously, she took away the red wine.

“It’s normal to encounter problems at work. You’re a capable person. There’s no need to pressure yourself so much. Drinking harms your body. Drink some water and go to bed early,” she advised.

Leslie stared at the water in his hand, glancing at Aurelia.

For the first time, someone spoke to him like this.

Everyone around him took his excellence for granted.

Feeling uneasy under Leslie’s gaze, Aurelia considered ending the conversation and going to bed. Perhaps she had spoken too much?

Or should she change the topic and bid him good night?

She cleared her throat, “Goodnight.”

She immediately turned around.

alt dizzy

However, whether it was a sudden turn or due to excessive blood loss, she and stumbled directly into Leslie’s arms. The cup of water in Leslie’s hand splashed, moistening his shirt.

The damp fabric stuck tightly to his body, outlining his well-defined abdominal muscles. through the material. Aurelia instinctively reached out and braced herself against his chest.

“Mr. Synder, I...”

Just as she was about to explain, her forehead was gently pushed away by his long fingertips. “Quit playing games.”

She was left speechless.

As her dizziness subsided, Leslie had already returned to the room.

She sneered. This man was truly devoid of common courtesy.

Back in the room, Aurelia collapsed onto the bed, her arm throbbing faintly.

She turned her head and noticed bruises where the blood had been drawn.

However, thinking of Florence and her daughter being safe, she believed it was all worthwhile. She drifted off to sleep unknowingly.

The next morning, Aurelia overslept due to exhaustion.

Chapter 15.

Upon leaving her room in haste, Aurelia noticed Leslie had already left.

She hurriedly entered the guest bathroom for a quick wash, only to find that the showerhead was still broken. With no other option, she used a basin to store warm water for a brief bath.

On her way out, she called Zachary, explaining her intention to seek inspiration at the

technology expo.

Zachary readily agreed.

However, upon reaching the expo, she found that the opening ceremony had concluded, and it seemed she wouldn’t encounter lan, the boss of One Technology.

Since she was already there, Aurelia decided to explore the expo thoroughly, hoping to find inspiration.

Following Jason's advice about their boss's preference for professionalism, this expo was undoubtedly the most professional place in the entire city.

Aurelia strolled through the exhibition booths, approaching novel technologies to inquire about their potential application in her planning.

After a while, feeling the need to use the restroom, she realized the expo hall was vast, and she walked for five minutes without finding the restroom.

Instead, she spotted mobile service robots moving about the exhibition. “Hello, may | help you with anything?” the robot inquired. “Where is the women’s restroom?” Aurelia asked.

“Sure, let me plan the fastest route for you. Walk one hundred meters straight ahead, turn left fifty meters, and then proceed down the corridor on the left side.”

“Thank you,” Aurelia instinctively responded. “You're welcome.” Left in contemplation, she thought she might delve into the robot's workings if she weren't in such a hurry.

Following the robot's directions, Aurelia exited the exhibition hall through a side door and, turning left, pushed open the metal door to the restroom.

“AnII!”

Witnessing the scene inside, Aurelia was so startled that she froze in place.

There was a row of men with their backs to her. The crucial point was that the person in front was none other than... Leslie! Leslie was washing his hands, and his face turned dark upon seeing Aurelia suddenly enter. “What are you still looking at?” He spoke in a low tone.

He covered Aurelia’s eyes with his slightly cold and damp hand, pulling her outside.

Though Leslie’s hand was chilly and moist, Aurelia’s face was flushed.

It was only when they were outside that Leslie let her go.

“M-Mr. Synder, what a coincidence,” she stammered as she blushed.

“| don’t think so,” Leslie coldly scanned Aurelia.

He couldn't believe such a coincidental event could occur in this world.

Aurelia must have followed him, deliberately creating this encounter.

He hadn't expected her to be so cunning.

Through his gaze, Aurelia understood his suspicion and quickly explained, “You

misunderstood. I’m here for work! | didn’t intentionally go in. The robot gave me the wrong directions! | didn’t know you were inside. No, | mean, | wouldn’t have entered even if | knew who was inside.”

As she spoke, her face turned even redder, as she really needed to use the restroom.

“Mr. Synder... Wait for me!”

Finishing her words, Aurelia handed her notebook to Leslie and entered the women’s

restroom.

Leslie hesitated, looking down at the notebook

It indeed contained Aurelia’s records about the technology expo.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

There were even some parts where she had made mistakes and marked them with question marks.

According to her recorded timeline, there was no time for her to follow him. Could it be a misunderstanding?

Leslie skimmed through a few pages and picked up a pen from the holder.

After Aurelia finished in the restroom, feeling relieved, she couldn’t help blushing at the inadvertent image of entering the men’s restroom.

Luckily, Leslie was washing his hands.

Imagining otherwise...

She shook off such thoughts and quickly washed her face with cold water, trying not to overthink. Exiting the restroom, Aurelia awkwardly approached Leslie.

“Mr. Synder, about that...”

“Let's go,

“Hmm?”

“Leslie returned the notebook to Aurelia and turned towards the exhibition hall.

“lm here for work, too.”

Leslie actually wanted to see if today was a coincidence or deliberate.

She had already connected with Jason‘. And now, she came to find him. What exactly did she want to do? The exhibition hall brimmed with highly specialized products, making it challenging for

Aurelia, who lacked professional expertise, to linger.

Naturally, her lie would be exposed

Aurelia didn’t think much. It was better to have a professional around, right?

So, she immediately followed Leslie’s footsteps.

Unexpectedly, shortly after she and Leslie entered, they encountered a service robot.

More surprisingly, it was the same robot that had given her directions earlier.

“Miss, hello, we meet again.”

“Oh no,” Aurelia pursed her lips.

“Not good?” The robot blinked its cardamom-like large eyes, and a few lines appeared on the screen

It even read them aloud, “Miss, I’ve searched for several methods to solve constipation for you. | hope it helps. You can.
