In this chat group, various topics came and went quickly. What people discussed eagerly in the morning might be forgotten by the afternoon. Kimberly was waiting for everyone to move on and forget about this topic.

However, Millie was suspicious and said, “It’s strange. First, it was the CEO of One Technology, and now it’s a handsome and wealthy man.

“If it were in the past, Kimberly would want everyone to pry into her affairs. Why is she now trying to avoid it? There must be something fishy, and | have to find out.”

Aurelia looked at Millie. “Millie, as a friend, | have to remind you that you’re paying too much attention to others. With this time and energy, you could suggest a few more proposals yourself.”

“Aren't you curious? What if | can find some dirt on Kimberly?” “I'm not curious. Even if you find something, what can you do with it?” “Well... seeing her in trouble would make me happy anyway.”

Aurelia did not respond and continued to focus on her computer. At that moment, a shadow cast over her desk. Kimberly, who had claimed she was heading to work earlier, stood beside her.

“Aurelia, is the proposal not finished yet?” Aurelia closed her laptop and nodded. “Mm.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why did you close your laptop? I’m not checking out your screen. | finished my work a while ago,” Kimberly said with a smirk. “I have to thank the CEO of One Technology for his guidance; otherwise, | couldn’t have done it so quickly.”

Aurelia pursed her lips, looking at Kimberly, not quite understanding what she was trying to convey. Their colleagues in the surrounding area had already started gossiping.

“Kimberly, what did the CEO of One Technology say?” “You'll find out soon,” Kimberly replied with a confident smirk. Aurelia hesitated for a moment. Kimberly rarely discussed proposals in public, so what was she up to today?

The next moment, Kimberly exclaimed, “Aurelia, why do you have such heavy dark circles under your eyes? How many nights have you stayed up? You're working way too hard.”

Before Aurelia could respond, their colleagues chimed in.

“Aurelia doesn’t have someone guiding her, so she has to work hard.”

“Aurelia, aren’t you married? You have a husband to support you. Why are you working so hard?” Kimberly asked. “Kimberly, have you forgotten how Aurelia’s in-laws treat her? Don’t bring it up; it’s quite sad.

Kimberly immediately covered her mouth and apologized, “Sorry, Aurelia. | didn’t mean to bring up something painful.” Aurelia furrowed her brows, realizing that Kimberly had set a trap.

“It's okay. My in-laws treat me well.”

“Alright, alright, whatever you say. | can’t imagine finding a bad set of in-laws in my lifetime,

Kimberly commented.

“Usually, handsome and wealthy men have a high level of education. The in-laws are likely to be well-mannered as well. Kimberly, you're lucky,” another jealous colleague said. Kimberly smiled but didn’t respond. Aurelia couldn’t be bothered to play along with her and pushed her away from leaning on the table.

“Kimberly, are you done talking? If you have, | need to get back to work.”

Kimberly gave Aurelia a disdainful look and decided to return to her workstation.

After all, now everyone knew she had a handsome and wealthy admirer, while Aurelia could only eat humble meals with her in— laws. It couldn’t be more satisfying for her.

On the other side, his mother rang him as Leslie drove to the office. He reached out and tapped. the car screen. “What's up?”

“Of course, I’m calling to ask how you're getting along with Aurelia.”

“Average.” Leslie then added, “But | think she’s not doing well at the company.”

“What do you mean? Is someone picking on her?” Linda raised her voice.

“Probably just that she’s not enjoying her time there,” Leslie said nonchalantly.

“Heh, what do they know?” Linda retorted, feeling displeased.

But she soon sensed something odd and exclaimed, “Leslie, are you intentionally sharing this with me? Since when were you interested in gossip?

“lm not.”

“Since you've mentioned it, as a mother, how could | not empathize? Just wait!”
