Chapter 164
Aurelia simply continued to ignore her and decided that she didn’t need a friend like Millie.
Silence loomed over the office for the rest of the afternoon and everyone was busy with their own work, only stopping to exchange glances from time to time.
Just before office hours were about to end, Aurelia realized that everyone was looking at her. “Aurelia, did your husband come to see you?” someone asked.
She immediately realized what the colleague she ran into earlier that morning said on the group chat.
Not intending to lie, she said, “Yeah.”
“Why didn’t you ask him to come up for a coffee? He’s so good-looking,” her colleague asked curiously.
“Huh?” Aurelia stared at them in confusion, wondering how they knew that Leslie was good- looking.
Her colleague pulled out her phone. “Someone took a photo of you and your husband. It only captures his back, but judging from the smitten look on your face, he has to be really good- looking.”
Aurelia refused to believe that she looked smitten, but was embarrassed when she finally saw the photo.
When she gazed up at Leslie, she did indeed look smitten and she hoped that he didn’t notice it.
While she was deep in her thoughts, the others swarmed her.
“Aurelia, I’ve been meaning to ask this, but what does your husband do?”
“Is he in the financial district? I saw you coming back with the pastries sold around that area before. Your husband is dressed so formally that he must be an elite in the financial district.”
“Aurelia, you really keep things under wraps. When your mother-in-law came, I instinctively knew that you married into an extraordinary family.”
With everyone throwing comments her way, Aurelia had no idea who she should respond to.
However, these words didn’t cloud her judgment.
They were suddenly friendly because Daniel represented One Technology and praised her her today.
They feared that their previous comments might have offended her.
After thinking for a moment, Aurelia smiled. “No, he’s just an ordinary salaryman. He happened to be around today.”
Her colleagues were surprised by Aurelia’s response.
If it were Kimberly or Millie, this discussion could have gone on for at least an hour.
Seeing that Aurelia didn’t want to elaborate, everyone could only leave in disappointment.
Chapter 164
Aurelia thought the topic had ended there, but received a message on her phone a few minutes later. She opened it and found that someone had added her to the building’s chat group.
She was about to leave the group when she hesitated. Previously, Millie used to share messages from the building group with her.
Now, Millie probably wouldn’t be willing to share with her. Aurelia didn’t know what these people were saying behind her back, and she couldn’t just wait for things to unfold without her knowledge.
With that thought in mind, Aurelia put her phone down and casually checked the messages in the group.
They were all talking about her and Leslie.
The only relief was that they only took pictures of Leslie’s back, so it wouldn’t have any impact on Leslie.
“Aurelia wins in life. She has a good mother-in-law and a handsome husband. Even the big boss of One Technology appreciates her. She’s destined for success in the future.”
“Indeed, finding a good in-law can never go wrong. Look how beautiful Aurelia has become recently. I heard people from her company say that the clothes she has been wearing lately cost thousands per piece. They were all bought by her husband.”
These people probably didn’t recognize Aurelia’s WhatsApp name, so they continued speaking without much consideration.
“You didn’t see their interaction. They were all lovey-dovey when they hugged each other on the main road. It was so sweet. It’s a shame that the boss was beside me at that time, or I would have caught up to see what her husband looked like.”
“With my experience in appreciating handsome guys, he’s definitely the type that looks slim in clothes but has some flesh when undressed. Judging from the shape of his head, he’s probably quite good-looking, too.”
“Haha. Are they really praising the shape of his head now? He does have a really good physique, though,” Aurelia thought.
“In conclusion, one should keep their eyes peeled when finding a man. Being wealthy alone means nothing. Finding someone who treats you well is the main point. People don’t just transform because they date someone better. No wonder some people’s boyfriends go to introduce themselves to other people’s wives.”
