Chapter 145

Here, Jackson’s gaze turned cold.
This was the first time that a woman challenged him. Initially, he thought of letting Aurelia face public condemnation and then graciously resolving the situation to make her aware of his
power.
However, Aurelia directly tore off his facade.
A mere junior employee dared to go against him.
“What nonsense are you spouting? You were the one who leaned toward me all of a sudden,” Jackson retorted.
Millie nodded vigorously. “Yes, Jackson is my boyfriend. How could he be interested in other women?”
“So you can explain yourself, after all. When Millie confronted me just now, why didn’t you speak up? She’s your girlfriend. Don’t you think you’d hurt her feelings if you didn’t explain yourself?”
Sometimes, words alone were enough to cause changes.
The expressions of everyone present made it clear that they understood what was truly happening.
This man was merely playing with Millie, so he didn’t care if she misunderstood.
Millie stood there dumbfounded, her designer clothes that once made her feel proud suddenly feeling horrendous.
Jackson appeared indifferent and ignored her with hands in his pockets. “But you did seduce me. Otherwise, how did you end up falling on me?”
Hearing this, Millie glared resentfully at Aurelia.
Aurelia bypassed the two of them and waved to the janitor at the corridor.
“Auntie, did you forget to put up a sign here?”
The janitor had no idea what had happened and apologized repeatedly, “I’m so sorry, someone spilled coffee over there this morning. I rushed to clean it up. I did remember to get the warning sign, but when I turned around to throw away the trash, I forgot. I’m sorry, did anyone get hurt?”
The janitor was extremely nervous. This area had marble floor tiles. If someone fell and hit their head, she couldn’t afford the compensation.
Aurelia comforted her, “It’s okay. Someone caught me before I could fall.”
Mr.
“I’ll go get the sign.” The janitor sighed in relief and turned around to find the ‘wet floor’ sign. Aurelia looked at Jackson and said coldly, “Firstly, thank you for lending me a hand, Morrison. Secondly, I apologize for any misunderstanding caused. Lastly, I’m married, so it’s not convenient for me to disclose my name.”
People around chuckled and dispersed. They all came to admire Ferrari and Millie, only to end
up witnessing a ridiculous drama.
Millie and Jackson stood still.
Aurelia didn’t want to argue further and avoided Millie. She turned around to leave but was surprised by Kimberly’s voice behind her.
Kimberly had just gained power and she was determined to use Aurelia to exert her authority. “Aurelia! Falling into the same old habits, are we? These guys may be forgiving, but you can’t just keep provoking them, right? Your husband empties his wallet to buy you designer brands, and this is what you do? One should be faithful. Can’t you leave what others have alone? Do you have to snatch whatever others have?” Kimberly approached, her dark gaze fixed on Aurelia’s ink-blue outfit.
Because of Kimberly’s words, Aurelia’s earlier explanations became futile.
Kimberly made it sound like she was an unstable, fickle woman who couldn’t be satisfied with just one man.
“I …” Aurelia tried to speak.
Kimberly waved her hand and interrupted her. “Alright, I don’t care what you think. This is our workplace, so please correct your attitude. Are you planning to argue with me here?”
With that, she went to console Millie.
Millie wanted to maintain the impression that she was deeply in love with Jackson, so she threw herself into his arms and turned to shoot a smug look at Aurelia.
Jackson tapped her on the back casually, but his gaze remained fixated on Aurelia.
Unable to stand his gaze, Aurelia figured that there was no point in arguing further and hurried into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, everyone kept their distance from her like she was a virus,
Meanwhile, Jackson gave Millie a few words of comfort before urging her to go upstairs impatiently.
“Millie, you are going to be late. You are my friend, but I’ve just been promoted so I can’t let things slide,” Kimberly chimed in.
Millie agreed and tip-toed to kiss Jackson on the cheek shyly, before running into the elevator. Jackson wiped his cheek and looked at Kimberly with a smile. “Is that Aurelia your colleague?”
“What do you want?” Kimberly asked.
