Aurelia quickly poured a glass of water for Leslie. “Are you okay?”
Taking a sip of water, he frowned. “You’re usually so composed. What’s going on in that head of yours?Today, it’s either a lot of talking or gossip.”
Aurelia chuckled and mumbled, “Well, don’t blame me for being curious. You have this look, and he’sinto men, yet he seems to value you so much, so I couldn’t help but wonder…”
Leslie set down his glass, a mixture of laughter and exasperation on his face. “Do you still want to eat?”
Aurelia nodded. “Yes.”novelbin
Why wouldn’t she eat the food she had prepared herself?
She took a bite of smoked barbecue ribs but felt slightly choked. She wanted some clam chowder butrealized she had forgotten to bring a spoon.
“Oh dear, I forgot to bring a spoon. Wait a moment,” Aurelia said as she got up and hurried into thekitchen.
Leslie watched her retreating figure, inexplicably curving his lips. The warm light above cast a beautifulglow on the dishes, making them look even more delicious.
A month ago, he returned to his home country filled with hatred, never imagining he would experiencesuch a scene.
After a while, Aurelia returned with a expression.

After finishing their meal, Aurelia placed the dishes and utensils in the sink before heading toward thebedroom.
“I’m going to my room first.”
“Okay.”
Leslie got up, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to do the dishes. His movements were becomingincreasingly skillful.
Seeing this, Aurelia was momentarily surprised. She hadn’t expected a man doing the dishes to look sohandsome.
“Is there anything else?” Leslie lowered his head as if he could see her.
“N–no,” Aurelia replied nervously and rushed back to her room.
After finishing washing the dishes, Leslie came out of the kitchen and faintly heard sounds. comingfrom Aurelia’s room,
“Hello, um… by the way, how should I address the CEO of One Technology? I don’t even know his lastname.

“No, I can’t talk this much. A CEO this important probably wants to avoid hearing me blabbering. Ohdear, I’ve never been this nervous in all my years in this industry! May the heavens bless me and
ensure that the proposal gets approved!”
Aurelia began praying fervently.
She was unaware the apartment’s front door was the original one, which did not provide much soundinsulation. Leslie could hear every word she uttered in the hallway outside her room.
Leslie couldn’t help but feel amused. She was a competent person professionally, but she seemedquite lively in private.
However, he also realized a crucial issue. Although he had been controlling the media coverage of hisreturn, he hadn’t expected to get married so soon after his return. Once Aurelia went to OneTechnology, she would quickly discover that the CEO shared his name.
Their current relationship was neither particularly close nor antagonistic. Hence, he did not want tocomplicate things unnecessarily.
After some contemplation, Leslie turned and entered his bedroom, dialing Daniel’s number.
“At the fastest speed, create a new identity for me and inform the people below. From now on, replacemy name with a Normish one.”
The employees of One Technology were his trusted associates, so he wasn’t worried about anyoneblowing his cover. His return here and the establishment of One Technology were just smokescreens.
“Mr. Synder, may I ask why? You’ve gone from being Mr. Synder to a programmer, and now you wantme to create a new Mr. Synder identity? Even if it’s to dodge the hidden threats from the SynderFamily, is this level of caution necessary?”
“No,” Leslie replied.
“Could it be… that Ms. Simmons?” Daniel was surprised.
“Less talk, more action.”
“Understood. I’ll go get it done,” Daniel replied with a tone of shock. He had expected Mr. Synder todeny it.

Daniel was a clever person. Upon hearing ‘Tuesday,‘ he realized it was related to the collaboration talkswith Young Advertising, especially since Aurelia was handling their proposal.
“Is there any issue with Young Advertising, Mr. Synder? Should I look into it?”
