“Sure.” Leslie’s response came so fast that the receptionist was stunned.
When they had asked him out for a meal on the first day at work, he had ignored them and left. But now that a beautiful woman was asking him out for a meal, he had agreed almost immediately.
Sensing the receptionist’s gaze, Leslie cleared his throat. “I’ll get back to work now.”
Aurelia waved her hand. “Alright. Bye.”
She turned and headed into the elevator and waved goodbye to the receptionist.
Once she was gone, he shot the receptionist a look. “Martha, don’t run your mouth.”
“My name is Maria.”
“Sure, Mary,” he said and left without looking back.
“I’m going to quit next month. Who would want to work here?” Maria thought.
After leaving One Technology, Aurelia dialed Linda’s number on her way back.
“Aurelia, you and your mom must be connected. You called just as she came out of the operation room,” Linda said with a smile.
“My mother, how…” Aurelia was so nervous that she couldn’t finish her sentence.
“Don’t worry. The doctor said that the surgery was a success. The caretaker and I will stick around, so just take care of your own affairs.”
“Thank you.” Aurelia could finally relax.
“Alright, go ahead with your things. Your mom is still under the effect of the anesthetic, so there’s no point for you to come here now. Just focus on your own work,” Linda said.
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Aurelia relaxed completely.
Without any worries now, she had to think about what to do next.
She first needed to consider what she wanted to do with the plagiarism issue.
Having secured the contract, she couldn’t possibly swallow her pride and let this slide.
Fortunately, she had a complete set of plans and notes on her computer. Even if Zachary and
Kimberly joined forces, it would be futile.
With that thought, Aurelia finally felt at ease.

In the company’s parking lot, Kimberly intercepted Zachary, who looked infuriated.
“Mr. Zeller, wait.”
“Why should I? Kimberly, I trusted you and arranged everything for you. Is this how you repay me? If Aurelia comes back with the contract and complains to the boss, we’re both done for.”
Zachary looked at Kimberly with disappointment. If Kimberly hadn’t claimed to have everything under control and if she hadn’t promised that her uncle would speak up for him to the boss after the success, their jobs wouldn’t be at risk now.
Kimberly immediately grabbed Zachary’s hand and said earnestly, “Mr. Zeller, trust me one more time. I have a way to resolve the crisis before us.“,
Zachary didn’t want to hear another word from her.
He needed to figure out how to explain this situation to the boss.
Seeing him unmoved, Kimberly decisively pulled him to a hidden corner.
“Mr. Zeller, we’re on the same boat now. Even if you explain things to the boss, do you think he’ll still trust you as much as he did before? Once Aurelia becomes the vice director, who do you think he’ll
trust more—you or Aurelia?”
Zachary fell silent, frowning.
What Kimberly said made sense. Even if he apologized or shifted all the blame to Kimberly, the boss wouldn’t trust him as much as he did before.
