Chapter 388
Aurelia stuffed the remaining egg whites into her mouth.
What was going on? Everything was fine just now, but why did Leslie suddenly change his attitude?
Meanwhile in the room, Leslie picked up the water cup from his bedside and drank half of
- it.
He had to be crazy to treat Aurelia like that.
Just thinking about her made Leslie’s expression waver, and he had to go into the bathroom to settle himself.
Meanwhile, Aurelia was going through the next day’s interview script before bedtime.
Lucia had a strong sense of crisis, so she greatly valued the interview.
The next morning, Aurelia prepared breakfast and packed Leslie’s lunchbox, planning to visit her mother in the hospital before the interview.
Just as she was laying out the breakfast on the table, Leslie walked out from his room.
He was dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and a coat draped over his arm. He looked incredibly handsome, except for the bump on his forehead, which was a bit amusing.
“I’ve got a meeting this morning, so I’ll grab breakfast on the go,” Leslie said.
“Sure, let me pack it up for you.
“I won’t be eating at home for lunch since I’ll be at the hospital. And don’t forget, we’re going grocery shopping tonight for tomorrow’s dinner,” Aurelia reminded Leslie as she packed the food.
“Yeah.” Leslie nodded.
Aurelia then passed the bag containing the breakfast and lunchbox to Leslie.
However, Leslie didn’t leave immediately.
“What’s up? Aren’t you supposed to hurry for the meeting?” Aurelia asked.

Then, Leslie handed her a black tie.
Aurelia paused, remembering her boast in the elevator the day before.
“Should I tie it?
“So, were you lying to me?” Leslie said in a low voice.
“No, I wasn’t,” Aurelia hastily replied.
Then, she immediately took the tie and stood on her tiptoes to put it around Leslie’s neck before wrapping it around him. Then, with her memory as her guide, she tied it into a knot. “Mr. Synder, this is all that I can do.”
Leslie frowned at the knot on his chest. Then, he pulled it down and motioned Aurelia to come closer. “Come here.”
So, Aurelia approached Leslie.
Then, Leslie turned her around and placed her back against his chest.
After that, he lifted Aurelia’s hands and guided them around the tie, his deep and magnetic voice saying, “Like this.”
“Hmm.” Aurelia intently focused on learning, but her attention was on Leslie’s hands as he guided hers. His grasp was warm and dry, and it was an indescribable feeling that Aurelia couldn’t put into words.
“Done,” Leslie finally said.
“Yeah, let me put it on for you.” Aurelia forcefully pulled her thoughts back and turned around to help Leslie with his tie. Then, she adjusted it and smoothed out his collar as she
did so.
With each movement, her heart raced faster.
“I’m heading out,” Leslie seriously said.
“Yeah.” Aurelia nodded as she watched Leslie leave.
Yet, her heart remained unsettled for a long while after.
After a while, Aurelia returned to the table to have breakfast. Then, she brought some homemade cookies for Sophia to the hospital.
When Aurelia reached the hospital, Sophia immediately came over to her and said, “Ms.

Simmons, are you okay? My daughter told me about what happened online. I’ve been worried, but I didn’t want to bother you.”

“Ms. Elliot, I’m fine, thank you for caring about me. Here, I made these cookies for you. Give them a try.” Aurelia handed Sophia the box.
“Thanks.” Sophia turned and pointed to the bed. “Your Mom’s doing well, so you can rest assured.”
“Yep.” Aurelia sat down and held her mother’s hand, feeling a sense of relief.
Then, Sophia poured her a glass of water and smiled. “I knew I was worried for nothing. With Mr. Synder around, you’ll be just fine.”
“Huh?” Aurelia accepted the water, a bit puzzled.
“Your complexion has improved a lot. Love is in the air, and even I, an old woman,
see it.”
“No.” Aurelia denied Sophia’s words.
“Don’t deny it. Your face is all flushed. Mr. Synder must be treating you really well.”
Aurelia remained silent.
Indeed, Leslie had been much nicer to her lately.

Meanwhile, in the One Technology, everyone burst into laughter when they saw the bump on Leslie’s forehead as he entered the room.
“Mr. Synder, is the bed still in one piece?”
