Chapter 260
“Who called the boss? Mr. Xenos?”
Daniel turned his head.
“I don’t know.”
“You know but you’re not telling us?” Everyone swarmed him.
“Wah!”

Just as Aurelia was wiping her sweat, someone handed her a glass of cold water.
She assumed it was from one of the staff.
“Thank you.
“This looks pretty good.”
It was Leslie.
She paused and turned around to look at him.
He had unbuttoned three buttons on his shirt and rolled up his sleeves.
The trousers he wore emphasized his slim, long legs.
“Mr. Sydner? I thought you weren’t coming.”
“Did you hear me say that?” Leslie asked.
“Well…”
“You want me to check the place, right? Aren’t you going to give me a tour?” he asked.
“Sure.”
Aurelia smiled and led him to the center of the venue, before signaling at the staff who were resting.
The staff gave her a thumbs–up and turned on the switch.
Aurelia initially wanted Leslie to assess the overall effect, but the staff turned on the spotlight above them instead.
The spotlights focused on them.
Then came a wave of dazzling lights, resembling a scene from a romantic novel where a proposal takes place.
Aurelia looked at Leslie in bewilderment.

Leslie observed the changing beams of light around them and said, “Did you call me here for this, Aurelia? You’ve got quite the personal agenda.”
Flustered, she accidentally stepped on the edge of the platform and began to fall backward.
Leslie quickly reached out and pulled her back.
In that instant, a bright spotlight shone down on them.
Aurelia couldn’t see Leslie’s expression due to the blinding lights.
The surrounding crew members all applauded, but Aurelia was extremely embarrassed.
Leslie wouldn’t think she brought him here just for this, would he?
“Ms. Simmons, you two look perfect together,” the staff said with a smile.
Aurelia hastily straightened her back and pushed Leslie away.
“Mr. Synder, it’s not like that. I just…”
“Just what?” Leslie asked.
“Just…”
Aurelia was about to come up with an excuse when she heard her phone ringing.
She assumed that Zachary was calling to ask about the on–site situation and quickly answered.
Unexpectedly, it was a colleague on the other end.
“Aurelia, hurry back to the office! Something big has happened. Your creditor has come to the company and is causing a scene.”
“Creditor? What do you mean?” Aurelia exclaimed.
“Why did you borrow so much from online loans? Are you out of your mind? How is this any different from a usurious loan? If you’re in trouble, just say so. You didn’t have to borrow money to buy a necklace just to compete with Millie.”
“Huh?” Aurelia asked.
“Come back now! Ah! Don’t break anything!”
The phone call ended amid the shocked exclamations of her colleague.
Aurelia felt her blood running cold.
