Chapter 301

Everyone thought that Leslie was mad as he had a solemn look on his face,

Leslie stood up with a frown.

“Have | really gained weight?”

Aurelia seemed to think that he had a great body, Leslie didn’t know why he cared, but he couldn't help asking.

Silence fell over the room. It was as though someone had pressed the pause button. Sometlater, they

snapped out of it.

Someone tried to suppress their laughter.

“No. You are still as handsas ever, boss.”

“Yeah. I'm sure Ms. Simmons...” another colleague agreed but paused immediately when they realized they had

said the wrong thing.

Still, Cynthia overheard the mention of Aurelia when she asked Leslie that question. She didn’t expect everyone

in the office to know Aurelia, not to mention to have such a decent impression of her.

Unable to maintain her composure, she tightened her grip on the document in her hands.

Daniel immediately chimed in, “Mr. Synder, it’s almost lunchtime. Why don’t we eat now, as we have a lot to do

in the afternoon.”

Leslie nodded, and everyone cheered before ordering takeout.

Cynthia took a deep breath to calm down, not wanting to cast her manners aside because of Aurelia.

She turned to look at Leslie with a smile.

“Things have changed so much here, and I'm barely keeping up. Since we are having lunch now, why don’t we-"

She was about to suggest they go to a restaurant when Leslie interrupted her.

He took out a blue lunchbox, and as soon as he opened it, a salivating fragrance filled the air.

The people around him immediately gathered.

“Mr. Synder, what are you having today? Stew! Lamb! Pasta! Mushroom soup!”

“Mr. Synder, are you trying to show off?”

“Mr. Synder, may we have a bite?",

They all reached out to have a taste, only to have their hands slapped out of the way by Leslie.

“Buy your own lunch,” Leslie said.

“Mr. Synder, you're actually protective of your food.”

Daniel chuckled.

“He wouldn't even lethave the leftovers if | asked.”

The group laughed.

Although Leslie didn’t join in, anyone could see the ease on his face. He was usually a reserved and

cautious man but was now getting along with his subordinates.

Cynthia observed the harmonious atmosphere in the office, feeling like an outsider who couldn't fit

1.in.

“You guys go ahead and eat. I'll head to the restroom for a bit,” she said.

With that, she hurried out.

Leslie glanced at her and continued eating.

Daniel stood beside him and whispered, “Mr. Synder, was that intentional? You know, that Cynthia-

“I'm married,” Leslie stated plainly.

“But not everyone knows that. To be honest, there seems to be something missing between you and Ms.

Simmons,” Daniel told him.

Leslie paused and asked, “What's missing?”

“It’s obvious—you’re missing proof of your relationship. Married couples usually wear rings, but the two of you

are empty-handed. That's why people at Aurelia’s company think you... don’t have money. Rings are important

to women,” Daniel said.

“How important?”

Leslie put down his fork and listened attentively.

“Men wearing wedding rings signify fidelity, which stops other women from approaching them. Women wearing

rings represent marriage and how much the man values her.”

Daniel gestured as he spoke, illustrating the size of the diamond.

Leslie frowned.

“That's so complicated.”

With that, he picked up his phone to review the diamond trading records.

Daniel glanced over and immediately stopped him.

“Hold on, Mr. Synder. 13.3 carats? You can’t buy one that big.”

“You said it should be bigger. This isn’t even the largest one. Aurelia’s hands aren't delicate. Anything

bigger would be cumbersome,” Leslie said.

Daniel rubbed his forehead, concerned about Leslie's married life.

“Mr. Synder, you're supposed to be just an ordinary programmer now. Why would you be able to afford such an

expensive diamond ring? Besides, you don’t even know Ms. Simmons’ preferences. What if she doesn’t like it?”

“Right.”
