Moreover, just after giving birth to the first child, the second child would already be on the way. With that, their holiday benefits would continue.
In their line of work, updates happened exceptionally quickly. At this rate, the company would be dragged down, and they wouldn’t be able to keep up.
Additionally, Leslie was frequently harassed by some female employees for various reasons. Some even boldly slipped flirtatious notes into the documents.
Leslie eventually grew tired of this and decided to stop hiring female employees altogether.
That was why Cynthia stood out.
Cynthia and Leslie were both fellow alumni, and the projects they participated in were quite similar. It was as if Cynthia was a talent created just for the company.
Cynthia had also explicitly stated in her introduction that she wouldn’t get married or have children
anytime soon, so Leslie made an exception in her recruitment.
Cynthia did not disappoint. She consistently completed her projects, and her name was always
associated with promotions and salary increases.
She was intelligent, and everyone knew about her feelings for Leslie. However, she knew that Leslie didn’t like to mix work with his personal life, so she had to approach him with caution.
Even Daniel once thought that Cynthia was the most suitable candidate to be the boss‘ wife. She had a good family background, good capabilities, good looks, and didn’t lack anything.
It wasn’t until Daniel met Aurelia that he realized that Cynthia wasn’t the right fit for Leslie.
They were too similar, and the ideal partner should complement each other. Aurelia’s calm and warm demeanor perfectly filled the void in Leslie’s life that even he couldn’t perceive.
However, Daniel believed that it would be better for Leslie to tell Aurelia about the situation himself. So, he didn’t explain much.
Unfortunately, he was unaware that Aurelia already knew about Leslie going to the airport to pick up a woman. She had asked just to confirm the information.
Now that it had been confirmed, Aurelia’s heart sank.
It turned out that Leslie indeed had feelings for another woman.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Cynthia was taken to the emergency room, and Leslie informed the doctor about her allergic reaction.
The doctor glanced at him and went in to give Cynthia some anti–allergy medication. Soon, Cynthia

recovered and regained consciousness.
The female doctor asked with concern, “Why did you eat nuts if you’re allergic to them? Did your boyfriend accidentally give them to you?”
“Boyfriend?” Cynthia paused.
“The person who brought you here. Be sure to remind him to be more careful when buying food for you in the future. Your allergic reaction was quite severe. Fortunately, the quantity you had consumed. this time was very small,” the doctor said.
Cynthia felt pleased that other people had mistaken her for Leslie’s girlfriend, which meant that they looked compatible.
“Alright, doctor. I understand.”
“You have some red rashes on your face and arms. I’ll prescribe some antihistamines for you. Take care and get some rest.”
“Okay.”
Cynthia watched as the doctor left, then propped herself up to check the time.
There were only ten minutes left before the event started. Leslie wouldn’t be able to make it there in
time.
Since Leslie didn’t want to reveal his identity that day, it didn’t matter whether he showed up or not. He had most–likely prepared everything in advance anyway.
However, things were different for that woman. Without Leslie, she would be nothing..
In Cynthia’s perspective, any woman who was interested in Leslie was either taken in by his looks or his wealth. They were all just superficial women.
After today, that woman should know her place.
Just then, the door opened, and Leslie strode in.
Cynthia stood up, pretending to be in a frail state, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I probably accidentally ate the nuts in the airplane’s meal. I’m sorry that you won’t be able to arrive at the venue
in time.”
Leslie glanced at the rash on her face and sighed lightly.
She covered her face and lowered her gaze. “I can’t attend the event looking like this. Can you send me back home first? It’s been a while since I returned, so I don’t know my way around.”
He glanced at his watch and nodded. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Cynthia was overjoyed. She knew that Leslie wouldn’t abandon her for some woman that he had only
known for two months.
