Chapter 282
Leslie shook his head, “There’s no need for that, I don’t plan to reveal my identity today”
Cynthia was taken aback. “Why not? On such an important day, you’ll undoubtedly become the most valued newcomer in the entire Bencester if you reveal your identity. The rest of the plans can also proceed more quieldy.”
“I have my own considerations, I don’t need to complain everything to you,” he replied coldly,
The idea to make a grand comeback at the opening ceremony was initially Cynthia’s idea, and it received unanimous approval. However, Leslie didn’t agree with it.
i
He disliked showcasing his abilities amidst all the flattery, as few people spoke the truth in such situations,
Cynthia pursed her lips and asked, “Is it because of someone?”
Leslie closed the file and said indifferently, “I don’t talk about personal matters at work.”
Cynthia’s lips turned pale, and she nodded reluctantly. “Alright.”
Her hands trembled Involuntarily. She felt that Leslie was drifting further and further away from her.
She looked out the car window and narrowed her eyes sharply.
Ever since she was a child, she had always been the pride of others, and she had never once lost.
She couldn’t believe that she would lose to a woman whose name she didn’t even know.
It was evident that Leslle had some agreement with the woman on the other end of the phone.
Today, she would show this woman who Leslie would choose between them.
Cynthia opened her bag calmly, revealing a small packet of snacks that had been provided by the business–class crew on the plane.
She was allergic to nuts, so she had put it into her bag without much thought. Now it came in handy.
She pretended to look for her lipstick, then she discreetly tore open the packaging and stuffed a small nut into her mouth.
Soon, the allergic reactions made it difficult for her to breathe. She waved her hand, and her bag fell to the ground..
“Leslie… It feels so uncomfortable.”
Leslie immediately supported Cynthia and glanced at the driver. “Go to the hospital.”
The driver was shocked when he saw Cynthia’s condition through the rearview mirror. He stepped on the accelerator and headed straight to the hospital.

Aurelia stood in the lobby of her company’s bullding for 20 minutes, but there was still no sign of Leslie.
During this time, she had made phone calls and sent messages to him. However, Leslie, who was just texting her, seemed to have completely vanished.
Did something happen at the venue?
Aurelia called her colleague at the venue worriedly, but her colleague said that everything was going smoothly. She even thanked Aurelia for recommending her to oversee things there, as it had allowed her to get the business cards of many big shots.
Aurelia wasn’t in the mood to listen to her colleague and hastily hung up the phone. Then, she called Leslie again, but he still didn’t pick up.
Growing increasingly worried, she intended to take a taxi to One Technology to have a look.
Just as she stopped a taxi, she received a text from Leslie,
“Go to the venue first. I can’t pick you up.
Aurelia stood frozen at the door of the car, feeling like she was suffocating.
“Miss, are you getting in or not?” the driver urged.
Aurelia regained her composure and got into the car. “Please go to the old factory’s road.”
With that, she turned her attention back to the message from Leslie.
Leslie had always been a man of his word. This was the first time he had broken his promise.
