Female NovelChapter 70 Seeing Kimberly’s sour expression, Aurelia felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Just acouple of days ago, Kimberly had been complaining that even with money, she couldn’t buy coffee fromthe Beanless Brews coffee shop. Today, she had unintentionally thwarted herself, which deprived her ofan opportunity to flaunt it on social media. What was even more unexpected was that the persondelivering the coffee was the owner of Beanless Brews coffee shop. With his blond hair and tall stature,he immediately caught everyone’s attention upon entering. “Ms. M-” the handsome man started to callout in a friendly manner, but he quickly changed his tone after Linda shot him a meaningful glance.“Ms. Miller, your coffee has arrived.” “Okay, just leave it there,” Linda replied casually. Everyone eagerlyapproached to take their coffee and took photos with the handsome coffee shop owner to share ontheir social media. On the sidelines, Kimberly considered getting up a few times, but Aurelia watchedher with a knowing smile. She could only sit back down, her regret evident on her face. It was quitecomical. As lunchtime approached its end, Linda announced that she wouldn’t disturb their work anylonger and prepared to leave. Aurelia escorted her downstairs and immediately took out her phone.“Mom, how much did you spend today? I’ll transfer the money to you right away.” “Why are you talkingnonsense? I treated you to some food, and you want to give me money? Linda replied, displeased.“But there were so many things, which must have been expensive.” “I said it’s okay, don’t make a fuss.Do you still see me as your mother–in–law if you keep refusing?” Linda asked. “Alright, then. I’ll treatyou to something delicious next time.” “Sure, let’s go to that restaurant we often visit. I’ve been cravingtheir snacks these past few days.” “Okay. But, Mom, thank you.” Linda probably had no idea how muchshe had helped Aurelia today. She could finally break free from the center of attention. Linda pursedher lips and smiled. “Why are you thanking me? Thank your husband. He’s the one who asked me tocome.” Aurelia’s mind blanked for a moment, and she hesitated. “Mr. Synder?” Linda rolled her eyes.“You keep everything to yourself even when you’re facing issues. I would have come earlier if I knewthese people were treating you like this. I’d make them envy you to death.” Chapter 76 2/2 Aureliaquickly intervened, fearing that Linda might end up treating everyone to afternoon tea every other day.“Mom, since you know what they’re like, it’s better if you don’t come in the future. It’s your money, andnovelbin
there’s no need to waste it on others.” Linda burst into laughter, covering her mouth. “Every time I’mwith you, I can’t help but laugh. You’re right, I’ll buy for you next time, not for them.” Aurelia nodded inagreement. “Yes, that sounds like a plan. Please be careful on your way back. “Don’t worry.” With awave of her hand, Linda left the building. Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started typing onher phone. “Mr. Synder, thank you for today.” “You’re welcome.” It’s still concise and very much likeLeslie’s. “How about I make you a bento box tomorrow?” She remembered that she still owed Leslie abento. “Sure. Just go easy on the meat; I can’t eat that much.” “Oh.” If Leslie discovered the beef stripswere a mix–up last time, would he get angry? Aurelia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She wassurprised as she touched her face; it had been a long time since she had such a relaxed expression.She never expected that she would end up living together with the cold and ruthless Leslie. Afterputting her phone away, Aurelia went upstairs. As soon as she entered the office, she was immediatelysurrounded by Millie and the other colleagues.
