Chapter 44

Leslie’s company was located in the heart of the city. A casual meal there would easily cost around 30 to 40 dollars. Dining out regularly would cost a significant amount of money in a month. To avoid wastage, Aurelia transferred the remaining dishes into the blue lunch box.

She evenly distributed the food between the two lunch boxes. Even taking into consideration that Leslie was a man and might need a little bit more to eat.

Since he didn’t seem to favor oily dishes, Aurelia opted to keep a larger portion of the beef stew for herself–given her fondness for it. The distribution was more on accommodating his food preferences than her being stingy.

“Why does he have to be so picky about food?” she mused.

As Aurelia was arranging the beef slices, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She swiftly covered the lunch box and placed it in the bag.

After preparing everything, she walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of corn soup.

“Good morning, Mr. Synder.”

“Morning,” Leslie replied as he took his seat.

Though his expression remained composed, his face was undeniably pleasant to behold. Aurelia couldn’t resist stealing a glance at him. Yet, fearing a repeat of last night’s scalding situation, she promptly averted her gaze and offered a bowl of corn soup to Leslie.

“Let’s eat. The pan–fried ravioli isn’t too heavy, it’s not very oily.”

“Okay, thanks.”
