Chapter 175
Aurelia nodded in agreement with Leslie.
“Yeah, you are right. She doesn’t care about me, so why should I care about her? The hundred dollars was my living allowance for next month though. So that’s a shame,” she said.
He glanced at her and impatiently took out his phone. He tapped on it and stood.
“If you have time to think about her, you might as well spend it thinking about what you want to eat tomorrow.”
“Oh, right. Where are we going tomorrow?”
“The Blue Train. You can search it up online. I’m going to bed.” Leslie returned to his room expressionlessly.
“The Blue Train?” Aurelia repeated. “I haven’t heard of it before. Let me look it up.”
She tried finding her phone only to remember that she left her phone on the bed.
She quickly drank her water and washed the glass.
She returned to her room in a good mood.
Just as she was about to pick up her phone, she noticed that there was a notification from Leslie a few minutes
ago.
They were supposed to be chatting at the time, so why didn’t he say anything if he had something to say?
She unlocked her phone and saw that she received a transaction of 1400 dollars.
Her eyes widened.
“Mr. Synder, have you sent your money to the wrong account?” She sent a
message.
“No. Keep it. I don’t want you starving to death,” he replied.
Aurelia realized that this was Leslie’s way of compensating the hundred dollars
she lost to Millie.
“I’m going to sleep now.” Leslie sent another message.
“Thank you, Mr. Synder.”
“Yeah.”

The conversation ended there.
Aurelia didn’t play coy and accepted the transaction.
However, she had no intention of claiming the entire 1400 dollars for herself.
She transferred one thousand to Leslie’s savings account, considering it as savings for the month.
With four hundred remaining, they could enjoy several wonderful meals with steaks until the next payday.
Perhaps even indulging in a few other treats.
Having completed the transaction, Aurelia turned off her phone and closed her eyes in contentment.
However, the thought of going out for dinner alone with Leslie the next day caused her to open her eyes and she struggled to fall asleep.
It was Leslie’s first time dining out with a woman.
In truth, it wasn’t much different for her.
When she went out for meals with Seth, they always opted for fast food, or something convenient.
They often finished their meal within fifteen minutes while wearing office attire.
Suddenly, she was tasked with having a proper meal with a man, and she had no idea how to prepare for it.
“Oh right, I need to put on makeup,” she thought.
Aurelia sat up abruptly and grabbed her makeup bag.
Combining all the samples she had, she could barely put together a full makeup look.
She picked up the only lipstick she had and frowned. “Does this even match my outfit?”
She forgot to check the clothes after Linda brought them for her.
Aurelia turned around and took out the box from the wardrobe.
She opened it and tore off the seal with an orchid sticker.
A red long dress was revealed.
Wasn’t this the one Kimberly had set her eyes
on?
The dress had a cut that suited her body perfectly, with a cinched waist creating a

good proportion.
The umbrella skirt was embroidered with clusters of orchids that sparkled under the light.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the flower petals were covered in tiny diamonds, each with a different shape that glowed in a vivid halo.
It was no wonder Kimberly smitten at first sight.
Any woman would fall in love with such a modest yet stunning dress.
Aurelia put it on excitedly and looked at herself in the mirror.
For some reason, the thought of going out with Leslie while dressed like this made her cheeks even warmer.
“Calm down, calm down. It’s just a meal.”
Aurelia took off the dress and went to sleep, content.
In another bedroom, Leslie had just closed his eyes when his phone vibrated.
“Your card number 2977 received a deposit of 1,000 dollars on June 4th at 22:10 …
Leslie was taken aback.
Aurelia had actually deposited most of the money into his savings account.
She wasn’t joking when she said she wanted to help him save money.
He put down his phone and touched his forehead.
The area from his chest to his lower abdomen where Aurelia had scratched felt
warm somehow.
