Chapter 387
“It’s here.” Leslie got up and wrapped his arm around Aurelia’s shoulder. Then, he leaned over her to click the mouse.
Aurelia watched as Leslie’s face drew closer, momentarily captivated.
“Why are you looking at me? Look at the computer,” Leslie casually said.
Panicking, Aurelia involuntarily clicked a few times, resulting in the screen going black. ” I… shut it down,” she stammered.
Leslie wore a complicated expression as he rubbed his forehead. “12 thousand for 32 classes.”
Impressed by his memory, Aurelia glanced at him. “Hmm. I’ll inquire about the registration tomorrow.”
“You don’t have to stress about it too much. I’ve got your back,” Leslie blurted out.
But after saying that, he was taken aback by his own words, unsure why he had spoken so
affectionately.
Aurelia looked at Leslie in surprise as well, but she didn’t ask further about it. Instead, she simply nodded cautiously and said, “Okay.”
Then, an uncertain atmosphere lingered between them as their gazes locked, and their breaths were audible to each other.
Leslie gazed at Aurelia in front of him.
She looked so pretty.
Aurelia also sensed Leslie’s intense gaze, and she nervously bit her lip.
But just with this small gesture, Leslie unexpectedly leaned in closer to her.
What was he trying to do? Was he going to kiss her?
Aurelia nervously clenched her hand but didn’t move away.
But right before the atmosphere could heat up, Aurelia’s phone rang and jolted her back to reality. Then, when she quickly stood up, she accidentally bumped into Leslie’s forehead.
Leslie grimaced, a hint of impatience appearing on his stern face as he straightened up
and rubbed his head. “Well done, Aurella.”
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Synder. I need to take this call.”
After answering the call, Aurelia was surprised to find out it was Lucia on the line. She had called her personally.
“Ms. Simmons, we’ve got an interview scheduled for this afternoon. Is that okay with you?”
“That’s fine.”
“I’ll send you the interview script right away. If there are any sensitive topics, you can let us know in advance,” Lucia said.
“Alright. Thanks, Ms. Lawson.”
“No problem. Thanks to your exclusive interview, our magazine publisher has regained some reputation. And rest assured, the company has also taken action against Eva, and she’s been demoted to a regular employee.”
“Got it, thanks,” Aurelia calmly replied.
“See you tomorrow.”
After ending the call, Aurelia glanced at Leslie in embarrassment. “Mr. Synder, are you okay?”
“What do you think?” Leslie lowered his hand from his forehead to reveal a bump.
Aurelia touched her own forehead and felt a bump too.
Upon seeing this, she chuckled. “Should I… make some boiled eggs to soothe it?”
“Hurry up then. Do you plan Leslie sarcastically
to go on camera like this tomorrow? replied.
Aurelia smiled as she entered the kitchen.
15 minutes later, she took out the boiled eggs. “Here you go,” she said, peeling one and handing it to Leslie.
“I can’t see the bump.”
“I can’t see mine either. I’ll have to go to the bathroom to look in the mirror,” Aurelia helplessly said.

“Come here.”
“Oh… uh…” Leslie pulled Aurelia to sit down beside him and placed a warm boiled egg on her forehead.
Surprisingly, it felt quite comforting.
“Feeling better?” Leslie asked.
“Yeah.” Aurelia nodded. She held her breath and lowered her gaze, but she could still feel Leslie’s eyes on her.
Then, she couldn’t help but recall the situation just now and unconsciously licked her lips.
But suddenly, Leslie seemed to apply more force. And in the next moment, her forehead throbbed in pain and heat.
Then, Leslie unexpectedly crushed the egg, and the yolk dropped into Aurelia’s hand.
Without thinking too much, Aurelia held the yolk and stuffed it into her mouth.
Leslie’s voice turned hoarse as he said, “Isn’t it dirty?”
Aurelia looked up at him and answered, “It’s fine. I washed my face when I got back.”
Leslie frowned as if he was trying to hold himself back. Then, he immediately stood up and said, “Get some rest.”
But before he left, Aurelia reached out and said, “Mr. Synder, your egg.
“You have it”
With that, Leslie went into his room without sparing Aurelia another glance.
