Chapter 60

As Aurelia looked at him, a thought crossed her mind.

Leslie had a car, and getting him to send her to work would be faster than using the subway. Not only would she not be late, but she could also use Leslie to shut Seth and the other people up.

Was this a stroke of luck from the heavens?

Standing in the foyer, Aurelia hesitated but eventually voiced her request.

“Mr. Synder, could you drop me off at the office? I can’t afford to be late again this month.” Leslie, who was currently adjusting his tie, paused in his actions.

His expression darkened.

So, had Aurelia really decided to use him to provoke her ex–boyfriend?

He looked at her and happened to see the pair of high heels next to her feet.

“Fine,” he said indifferently.

He was curious to see how this drama would unfold.

“Thank you,” Aurelia thanked him and quickly put on her shoes.

Leslie drove fast, and they were almost at her workplace in what felt like the blink of an eye.
